Register for our FREE Live Webinar on March 24, 2025 - https://harkla.co/pages/register-for-the-primitive-reflex-webinar-2025

Primitive reflexes play a crucial role in early development, but when they don’t integrate properly, they can create challenges in the classroom—impacting focus, learning, and behavior. In this episode, we’re breaking down what primitive reflexes are, why they matter, and how retained reflexes can affect children academically, socially, and emotionally.

We’ll explore:

  • The role of primitive reflexes in infant development

  • How unintegrated reflexes can affect attention, handwriting, posture, and self-regulation

  • Signs and symptoms educators and parents should watch for

  • Practical strategies for teachers and school staff to support children with retained reflexes

Plus, we’ll wrap up with a listener Q&A on sensory diets and meal planning for a child with ARFID and oral sensitivities!
