So What?
You might have problems with head control, sitting balance, and protective reactions if this reflex has a delayed onset.
What is the Moro reflex
When placing pressure on the ulnar surface, the fingers flex.
What is the Palmar Grasp reflex
ATNR, STNR, and TLR
What is Birth to 4-6 months
At what age should a child have at least 50 words?
What is 24 months
In order to teach a kid to tie their shoes, a clinican uses backward chaining repeatedly to increase skill mastery.
What is Developmental
Reaching, grasping, and bilateral coordination might be difficult if this reflex is delayed. If it persists, you might have challenges with handedness, handwriting, and reading.
What is ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex)
When the oral cavity is touched, the mouth closes, sucks, and swallows.
What is the Sucking/Swallowing reflex
Rooting
What is Birth to 3 months
At what age range would you expect children to ride bikes and jump rope?
What is 6-12 years or (Middle Childhood)
To improve their ROM, the clinician uses yoga in interventions.
Exploring objects and head control may be difficult with delays in onset. Persistance over 3 months may cause issues with self-feeding and articulation.
What is the Rooting reflex
In prone, flexor tone will dominate.
In supine, extensor tone will dominate.
What is TLR (Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex)
Protective Extension
6-9 months and persists through life
At what age are children typically completely potty trained?
What is 3-3.5 years
To help the child with impulse and body control, the clinican selects an obstacle course with vestibular and proprioceptive challenges.
What is Sensory Integration
Reciprocal crawling might be difficult if delayed or persists over 6 months. You might even see a "bunny hop."
What is STNR (Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex)
Arms extend and hands open before quickly flexing and closing. It's like someone startled you or something.
What is the Moro reflex
Plantar Grasp
What is 4-9 months
Children who can write their name are usually at least what age?
What is 5-6 years old
To learn to ride a bike, the clinician practices with the child in front of their home. The clinician sometimes provides feedback but sometimes uses reflective questions for the student to correct their mistakes. They repeat this cycle a lot, until the skill is mastered.
What is Motor Control or (Motor Learning)
You might experience some head trauma if this reflex is delayed. This reflex should persist through life. If not, you're probably called clumsy or "accident prone."
What is Protective Extension/Righting
Hips and LE extend. UE extends and abducts.
What is the Landau Reflex
Stagger
15-18 months and persists through life
In which age range do you typically see more exploration of identity and comparison to others?
What is 11-19 years (Adolescence)
To learn to self-feed with a fork, the clinician inhibits wrist flexion, placing the client in a more neutral position while they practice poking the chicken nugget and bringing it to his mouth.
What is Neurodevelopmental (NDT)
