On this show, I discuss some of the primitive reflexes we are born with or are present early in life. Specifically I talk about the following reflexes: Moro, Rooting, Palmer, ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex), Spinal Galant, and STNR (Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex).
Information on what happens when these reflexes do not become integrated at the correct age, and how this can affect kids when they get to a school age.
I share a research study on Reflexes in Kids with ADHD versus kids without ADHD. That study can be found at: http://link.springer.com

In this Episode of The Special Needs Podcast I give a list of 10 things that may be indicators of Autism. This is not a comprehensive list, but just an idea of some things to look for and be aware of as possibilities. Not all kids with Autism will have things on this list, and some kids without Autism will have things on this list. It is meant only to give you an idea of some red flags in development that could indicate a concern. If you have any concerns with your child’s development, please discuss them with your pediatrician!
