What is Reflex Integration?
•
Cassie Wilcox & Erica Scheifflee

Season 3
•
Episode 26
Have you ever thought about what drives INNATE development? How do we begin to learn to move? To use our eyes in a meaningful way? How does the infant begin to lay foundations for future executive function?
The answer = Primitive Reflexes!
Join Cassie and Erica to learn more about reflex integration as a therapeutic modality to help children and adults address challenges related to motor skills, self-regulation, executive function, visual skills, and more. You’ll learn why Cassie doesn’t like the term “retained reflex” and how these innate movement patterns influence the way we move, think, and feel.
