Learn how to give your client or child the best start on their motor & sensory development and gain the knowledge and understanding for hitting developmental milestones, sensory processing, and primitive reflex integration!
“This course is so much more than sensory development! Rachel and Jessica cover all milestone development (gross motor, fine motor , visual motor) in addition to prevalent topics such as TOTs, plagiocephaly & torticollis. The reflex integration section is super comprehensive and a vastly overlooked part of infant development. This information needs to be out to the masses as we are always preaching as therapists!”
Let us take the guesswork out of early learning and parenting for you!
In the first year of life, one of the most important things a baby is needing to learn is how to develop and move their body. Learning how to control their bodies feeds information to their brain, which gives them the foundation of all their abilities for the future; learning & cognitive skills, motor & language skills, and social & emotional development.
1 IN 6 CHILDREN HAVE SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER, AND UP TO 89% OF CHILDREN HAVE At Least one RETAINED PRIMITIVE REFLEX
With the rates of Sensory Processing Disorder and Retained Primitive Reflexes rising, we are seeing more and more young and elementary-aged students struggling in their daily activities.
What is Sensory Processing Disorder?
Sensory Processing Disorder is when a person struggles with sensory input, like clothing, lighting, or sounds, to the point that it negatively affects their day-to-day activities.
Sensory Processing Disorder 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. This includes daily tasks like bathing, using the bathroom, mealtime, self-feeding, dressing and transitions between tasks. It also impacts a child’s ability to learn in school and interact in social situations.
Working with your child early on with different sensory activities can help them develop a healthy sensory system, which can potentially avoid the detrimental challenges that come with sensory processing disorder.
What Are Retained Primitive Reflexes?
We are all born with primitive reflexes! Developed in the womb, these involuntary movement patterns help newborns stay safe in the brand new, scary world they are experiencing!
These primitive reflexes do not stay forever; they should ‘integrate’, go away or mature, some around 12 months of age, some closer to two or three years old. When a primitive reflex integrates, it makes way for new, more mature movement patterns and higher-level learning to develop.
Oftentimes children don’t get the motor activities they need in order for reflexes to integrate. When primitive reflexes aren’t naturally integrated, they become ‘retained’, leading to anxiety, poor social skills, struggles in school, and more! Development may be hindered, and the infant may not gain higher-level skills.

Yes! This course is designed for children ages birth to three, the activities you’ll find within the course are beneficial for every child, regardless of developmental milestone acquisition.
We teach about common primitive reflexes you’ll see emerge from birth, activities to promote natural integration of these reflexes, as well as functional, play-based activities to include in your daily routine to work towards integration of potentially unintegrated reflexes.
Not necessarily. Our goal is to share sensory-based activities that require household materials and everyday items to keep your life simple!
