Hi there, I have just found your videos on Youtube and find them so useful as I am a community physiotherapist in Australia. Which would be a physical therapist in America. I am seeing a lot of children with autism and working with kids who toe walk. Since listening and watching your videos I have been testing their primitive reflexes and ocular motor skills as I’m wondering if these are why they toe walk. From here if I find they have difficulties with any of the tests, I then integrate them in the sessions I do with them. I also have kids who have low tone, weak core and don’t have the strength to do gross motor skills. So I wonder if your tests will outline why they have issues here. It is all so interesting.
