FAQ

Do you only offer therapy with neurodevelopmental movements (reflex integration and rhythmic movements)?

Definitely not! We use both traditional occupational therapy strategies along with these neurodevelopmental movements to support our clients in achieving their goals. We work with our clients, their interests and needs, and draw up a treatment plan according to their individual needs. This may not even include the neurodevelopmental movements.

What can I expect during occupational therapy sessions with primitive reflex integration?

During a session, we will have a discussion with you about your/ your child’s challenges and goals, assess your primitive reflexes, develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs, and implement a variety of activities and exercises aimed at integrating primitive reflexes. Sessions may include movement-based activities, sensory experiences, and cognitive tasks to promote development and function.

How many sessions are typically needed to see results from occupational therapy with primitive reflex integration?

This depends on your goals, challenges, needs and progress. We will work closely with you to establish realistic expectations and develop a treatment plan that best supports your needs. Consistent participation and practice outside of sessions are also key factors in achieving desired outcomes.
