# 343 Primitive Reflex Integration: Neuroplasticity Techniques for Functional Success in Pediatrics

Course overview

Many pediatric therapists face the frustrating reality of treating children whose progress is hindered by retained primitive reflexes. These reflexes, when not properly integrated, can impede the development of essential motor and cognitive skills, making it difficult to achieve desired outcomes in therapy. In this workshop, Dr. Karen Pryor, an expert in pediatric neuroplasticity with over 40 years of experience, will guide you through the process of identifying when a retained reflex creates a functional impact and how to address it effectively. You will learn to: Restore functional strength more quickly by addressing root reflex issues Enhance fine and gross motor skills through targeted reflex integration exercises Improve sensory processing abilities by resolving retained reflexes Increase the effectiveness of interventions for ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities Develop and implement reflex integration techniques that are easy to incorporate into everyday practice Dr. Pryors extensive background in early intervention, combined with her innovative neuroplasticity techniques, will provide you with the tools to make informed decisions about when to intervene and how to do so effectively. This course will empower you to create individualized, client centered treatment plans that lead to significant improvements in your patients functional outcomes, helping you elevate your clinical practice to the next level. In this interactive lecture, improve treatment for your clients by discovering the link between primitive reflexes and development. Learn to evaluate the influence of primitive reflexes with central nervous system developmental stages, as it relates to function. Practice simple techniques to immediately add to your treatment sessions, leading to increased developmental success: Behavioral Challenges Learning Disabilities Neurological Deficits Sensory Processing Problems Autism ADHD Course methods include lecture, case studies, video demonstrations, hands on skills, and question/answers.
