In celebration of reaching 100 podcast episodes, Rach & Jess are diving into primitive reflexes with a 5 day series. Within these 5 episodes, you will hear information on the top 5 primitive reflexes that they, as Occupational Therapy Assistants, work with when treating within the pediatric population.

The Moro Reflex, also known as the Startle Reflex, should be integrated by ~ 4 months after birth. If it is not, it can affect many areas of functioning. Listen in to learn more and stay tuned for the next episode's reflex - the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex.

Please remember - neither Rachel nor Jessica are certified in any one integration technique. Their experience in the field of primitive reflex integration comes from over 6 years of learning from mentors, research, continuing education studies, and personal experience. The information provided in these 5 episodes are for educational purposes only - they are not designed to diagnose or treat any conditions.
