Integrating the STNR reflex: First watch my reflex highlights at the top of my page and start with integrating the TLR reflex. ~ The STNR reflex helps your infant learn to move the top half and the bottom half of their body independently from each other. The symmetrical tonic neck reflex is commonly referred to as the “crawling reflex” because it allows your baby to make the transition from lying down to getting up on their hands and knees. ~ The integration of the STNR is reliant on the head po

🏃‍♂️🧠 Is the ATNR Reflex Affecting Your Child’s Focus and Coordination? Noticing your child struggling with focus in school or appearing uncoordinated while running? It’s time to explore the ATNR (Asymmetric Tonic Neck Reflex) and its impact. 🔍 What Is the ATNR Reflex? A primitive reflex where turning the head causes arm and leg extension on the face side and flexion. It aids in the birthing process and should be integrated as the child grows. 🧐 Easy Test for ATNR: All Fours Position: Have y

Can you easily spot a retained ATNR? Do you aim to find the root causes of the challenges a child might be having? If you’re not looking at retained primitive reflexes, you’re potentially missing a huge component of development!

When assessing infants, don’t forget about primitive reflexes 👶✨ For example, the ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex) causes the arm and leg on the side the head is turned toward to extend, while the opposite side flexes. So if baby’s head is turned right, you’ll see extension on the right and flexion on the left — totally normal at this stage! 💡That means when you’re checking range of motion, it might look like one side is tight or restricted… but really, it’s just that reflex doing its job

ATNR is a primitive reflex that babies exihibit and is part of the development of muscle tone, consistent one-sided movements with their body, and even proper hand-eye coordinations. Signs and symptoms of a retained ATNR reflex ‼️Poor hand-eye coordination, especially when writing ‼️ difficulty with visual tracking ‼️difficulty with handwriting ‼️poor balance ‼️difficulty throwing or catching a ball ‼️difficulty paying attention #thespeechclinicdubai#occupationaltherapy#sensoryprocessingdisorder

Patty Cake for ATNR Reflex Integration! 🎉👐 The ATNR reflex is super helpful for babies learning to crawl, but if it sticks around too long, it might muddle up coordination and attention in older kids. Why Patty Cake? Patty Cake is a fun game to play if your kid has retained the ATNR reflex. It encourages them to cross the midline of their body, boosting brain communication and coordination as well as engaging the cerebellum 👫 Ready, Set, Patty-Cake!
