“I highly recommend this to give a better understanding of the underlying causes for a child's problems.”

My son was diagnosed with several things - PDD-NOS, apraxia, and hypotonia at 18 months… but five years ago, at age 4, my son Jonah recovered from all of his diagnoses. However, because of these developmental difficulties he suffered as a child, he still struggled with attention, emotional regulation, auditory processing, and eye contact, among other things.

I then undertook an intensive reflex integration session with him daily, [using the neuro-movements from the Brain and Sensory Foundations course].

He has improved so much in a ton of areas. I’ll share with you just a few examples. For the TLR reflex, when I first asked him to do the integration reflexes, I had to be careful supporting his head because it was hard for him to lift and he looked as if at any minute he might drop it to the floor with a crash. After a few weeks of doing TLR every day (plus all the other reflexes) he one day did a complete sit up. He was so shocked he hollered with a big grin “watch mommy! I can do a sit up!!” He was 8 years, 11 months, and had never been able to do that before. He’s been working on TLR constantly, and now, for his sports team they have a contest of how many sit-ups you can do in one minute, and he’s been working on that a month. Yesterday he did 38 sit-ups in one minute!!! But just 6 months ago, before we did the program, he couldn’t do 1 sit up. It was a strain to lift his head up for 10 seconds.

Another area he is improving in is his pencil grip. We did both hand reflex exercises, which worked for us both. The hand exercises have really helped him not grasp the pencil with so much force, and his handwriting is looking so much better.

He used to have lots of emotional dis-regulation, now he’s calmer. His balance has improved. His eye contact has improved, as has his auditory processing and conversation skills. He used to have “leaking” accidents all the time during sports, now he never has a problem with that.
