[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of controversy (as with vision therapy) about how effective reflex integration is or whether it's pseudoscience. That said, my son's private OTA (but not his school OTs) was a proponent after having done it to herself in OT school, and she and DC would spend a few minutes on reflex integration work at the beginning of each of their sessions. We had some homework we worked on occasionally - things like stroking his hand while watching TV for a few minutes, nothing crazy. I forget how many and which primitive reflexes he had retained - there were about 4. The OTA was able to do it pretty quickly. It took maybe 4 months - and it was only a small piece of what they worked on. He has CP but did not have a specific dx at the time. I figured there was no harm to it and in our case it was a very minor time commitment. [/quote]
