    My son had learned to do the popcorn exercise from the OT. I didn’t realize it was for the moro reflex specifically. He was given other exercises, which are probably for other retained reflexes. I was interested in adding some variety. Most of these exercises are doable at home with minimal equipment. The last few must be done at the OT’s office with special props.

    The drawings, explanations and layout of the book are excellent. I will be getting other books in the series as well.

    This book is so helpful! My daughter has been doing OT for a while, and I’ve also done tons of research online, but this concise book has everything I need with easy pictures, step by step instructions and modifications. I could have saved myself lots of time spent searching online if I had just started with this book! It is so helpful to have it all in one place and my daughter even likes to pick out exercises by looking through it. Definitely recommend this book!

    I'm a physical therapist working in the Early Intervention world and I see a lot of little guys and gals who have unintegrated reflexes. My Littles are younger than probably what thus book targeted, but I could already think through how I could modify several things to my younger kiddos just by this book having such great pictures for reference. I am going to read through the others in this series and will keep these handy in my therapist "toolbox."

    My occupational therapist recommended doing reflex integration exercises with my daughter. I had never heard of them and wanted a good resource so we could get started right away. This book was perfect for that. It’s a great introduction to reflex integration and also has detailed instructions and illustrations for the exercises.

    This is an excellent resource for parents of children who have any learning difference including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia or dysgraphia. For children with anxiety or other cognitive (displayed through behavioral issues) struggles, understanding the brain and body connection is essential. This book is a phenomenal and practical resource to help parents and any adult working w children. Use this as a guide to see behind the behaviors and help w the root issues of learning, emotional and behavioral issues. Will be sharing this on my website and with my own community of mothers. Thank you for such a practical tool.
