Fun activities designed by pediatric occupational therapy assistants to give you the best start on motor & sensory development for your infant or toddler.
“As a first time mother, this course is a necessity to take the guesswork out of helping my child develop a healthy sensory system, as well as naturally integrate primitive reflexes. Since we all have so much already going on as parents, having demo videos with Rachel and Jessica walking you through exercises makes my life so much easier!”

If you are a new or expecting parent, knowing what to do to give your child the best chance at healthy development can be confusing and overwhelming!
What is Sensory Processing Disorder?
Sensory Processing Disorder is when a person struggles with sensory inputs, like clothing, lighting, or sounds, to the point that it negatively affects their day-to-day activities. SPD is when sensory needs severely impact daily functioning on a consistent basis.
When a child can’t process the messages from the sensory world, they struggle with daily tasks.Working with your child early on with different sensory activities can help them develop a healthy sensory system, which can avoid the detrimental challenges that come with sensory processing disorder.
What Are Retained Primitive Reflexes?
We are all born with Primitive reflexes! They help newborns stay safe in the brand new, scary world they are experiencing!
While Primitive Reflexes should disappear through “integration”, oftentimes children don’t get the motor activities they need to do so!
When primitive reflexes aren’t naturally integrated, they become “retained,” leading to anxiety, poor social skills, struggles in school, and more!

“This is a great resource for parents, caregivers, and even therapists! The course provides you with knowledge and resources to better support your infant/toddler. The strategies and ideas provided are simple and can be implemented immediately. As an occupational therapist it was a good general review of concepts, but it also gave me ideas for how to better educate parents on strategies to implement at home. I also learned a few new ideas to incorporate into my therapy sessions, and I can incorporate them at home with my own children as well”
