Target Audience: School-Based Occupational Therapists, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants

Occupational therapists, this session is for you! Primitive reflexes emerge in utero and should be integrated no later than 2 years of age. Unfortunately, studies show that approximately 75% of school-aged children with learning disabilities have retained primitive reflexes, which are becoming more common and strongly impact how students function. This 5-hour session provides occupational therapists with a screening process to identify each of these retained primitive reflexes: MORO, Tonic Labyrinthine Neck Reflex, Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, Spinal Galant, and Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex. Kim also provides compensation techniques and treatment strategies to help integrate each reflex covered. This course is packed with videos, examples, interactive activities, and strategies to help school-aged children reach their full potential. Five hours of EILA or PD credit will be awarded for participation in this virtual session, and Kim is AOTA Approved Provider!
