Reflexes Affecting Education "CHEAT SHEET"

PRIMITIVE REFLEXES: LEARNING & SCHOOLWORK SCREEN "CHEAT SHEET"

Everyone loves a good CHEAT SHEET!

Why should Primitive Reflexes Matter for Parents, Homeschoolers, and Educators....?

Primitive reflexes lay the groundwork for a child’s early development, but when they remain active beyond infancy, they can hinder progress in school or at home. Whether you’re a parent, homeschooling parent, or teacher, retained reflexes can cause issues like trouble with reading, writing, attention, and motor skills.

These challenges can make learning more difficult and affect behavior in both the classroom and homeschool environments. Being aware of these reflexes allows for early identification and intervention, giving children the tools they need to succeed academically and thrive developmentally.

This guide is designed to help you identify potential behaviors and challenges that may be linked to retained primitive reflexes, which could be affecting your child’s learning, coordination, or classwork. They can be addressed with specific assessment and exercises completed by trained professionals. Review the listed behaviors and issues for each reflex to see if any align with your child’s experiences.

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT EDUCATE ON WHAT THE REFLEXES ARE OR HOW TO TEST THEM, I AM WORKING ON SOMETHING ELSE FOR THAT AT THIS TIME. Thanks!
