Integrating Primitive Reflexes Through Play and Exercise

An Interactive Guide to the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) is the fourth book in the series, Integrating Primitive Reflexes Through Play and Exercise. TLR influences head control, alignment, muscle tone, balance against gravity, static and dynamic posture, visual skills, auditory skills, motor coordination, and vestibular skills (sense of balance). When the TLR is not fully integrated, milestones such as rolling, kneeling, sitting, standing, and walking will be compromised. In addition, motor coordination, postural control, reading, handwriting, concentration, and playing sports become challenging and may lead to other delays in learning, social interaction, and behavior. This interactive guide to the TLR offers service providers, fitness instructors, parents, and teachers the opportunity to incorporate therapeutic exercises. Inside you will find: ¿Explanation of the primitive reflexes and how to identify "integrated" and "retained" reflexes in your child or student Signs and symptoms commonly observed when the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex is not fully integrated Easy-to-follow exercises and modifications Symptoms checklist Letter of support and guide to parents
