We train chiropractors, medical professionals, educators and parents to lead with brain development to build a comprehensive "whole to part" approach to working with behavioral, learning, developmental and socialization challenges. We need to know more to bridge the gap and build strong teams and clinical, educational and parenting strategies to help kids have a better expression of life and not just cope! Through our seminars and trainings we boil down the complexity of brain development and Neuro-Deflective Disorders™ in order to have practical and implementable solutions and care plans without losing the bigger picture of how it all works together.

Are you using this tool in practice correctly?
Primitive reflexes are a window into neurodevelopment, so it’s a great idea to assess them during your functional brain-based exam. But I see a lot of doctors using this in practice incorrectly. This is the 2nd part of the brain-based exam (see the last video for part 1!), and here’s what you SHOULD be doing when you find unintegrated primitive reflexes on your exam.
Remember, including assessments of primitive reflexes, eye movements, and gross motor/fine motor does not take you away from principled Chiropractic. It helps you become more informed about how Chiropractic impacts the ENTIRE individual and the way that people are engaging, learning, and connecting with their world.
