Integrating Primitive Reflexes
Unlocking Focus, Behavior, and Academic Potential
Is your child struggling with focus, hyperactivity, behavioral outbursts, or academic challenges? These symptoms may be more than just surface-level struggles — they may be rooted in something deeper: the impact retained primitive reflexes can have on development. Join us for a live conversation with Dr. Rebecca Jackson, Chief Programs Officer at Brain Balance, as we explore what primitive reflexes are, how they contribute to critical foundational development, and how they impact your child’s ability to self-regulate, stay on task, and learn effectively.

Dr. Jackson will explain how these early reflexes contribute to the development of sensory perception and body movements and how the maturing brain develops increased control and coordination of actions and responses.

The conversation will also explore how a retained primitive reflex can present and the impact it can have on development. You’ll learn how Brain Balance’s integrative, non-medical approach matures the brain and body’s response to these reflexes and supports whole-brain development. Research has shown that the Brain Balance program is effective in reducing symptoms by helping to integrate primitive reflexes and improve cognitive, behavioral, and academic outcomes.
Whether your child has been diagnosed or is simply struggling, this webinar will provide valuable insight and hope for progress.
