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 Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, the STNR, is believed to help integrate the TLR reflex as well as develops the upper and lower body coordination. Listen in for all the details and make sure to check out our brand new Primitive Reflex Crash Course (link below).

 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.
