Integrating Primitive Reflexes for Learning Success

Join us for a focused, practical workshop designed to equip you with the skills to identify and address retained primitive reflexes—found in approximately 75% of school-aged children with learning and developmental challenges.

These early-life reflexes, typically integrated by the age of two, can impact a child’s ability to focus, learn, and self-regulate when they remain active. Retained reflexes are often linked to Sensory Processing Difficulties (SPD)- Dyslexia- Dyspraxia- ADHD - ASD


What You’ll Learn:
• How to screen for key primitive reflexes
• Evidence-informed strategies and activities to support reflex integration
• Practical, play- and movement-based interventions
• Insight into research-based programmes to support neurodevelopment


All participants will receive valuable resources to support their practice.

Who Should Attend?

Play Therapists, Parents, Teachers, Nurses, Paediatric Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, PTAs, and other professionals working with children experiencing learning or developmental delays.
