MORO reflex integration is the natural process where this primitive startle reflex (arms out, then in) disappears as an infant’s nervous system matures, typically by 4-6 months, replaced by a controlled startle. Retained Moro reflexes can lead to anxiety, sensory overload, poor focus, and emotional outbursts, but can be integrated with specific exercises like starfish movements, ball rolling, and cat-cow to calm the fight-or-flight response and improve sensory processing. Here we are using a fun way of integrating the MORO reflex but corralling the swing or by squeezing a pillow around your whole body. If you feel your child is struggling with emotions or sensory issues the MORO reflex might be a reason!

Visual motor integration (VMI) is the coordination of visual perception and motor skills. It’s a fundamental skill for many daily activities and academic performance. VMI involves sensory, perceptual, and motor components. Is your child having difficulty with reading? Copying from board? Coordination difficulties? Handwriting difficulties? It could be a visual motor delay. Let us help you figure it out!

Does your child have difficulty holding a pencil? There are so many pencil grips out there, so we have some suggestions for you!
Here are some age norms for appropriate grasps:

✏️1-2 Years: Full fist (palmar grasp) is normal for toddlers.
✏️2-3 Years: May transition to a palmar grasp (palm down, using all fingers) or Digital Pronate grip (fingers used, but not palm down).
✏️3-4 Years: Moving towards finger control, possibly a 4-finger grip (four-finger grasp).
✏️4-6 Years: Aim for the Dynamic Tripod Grip, using thumb, index, and middle fingers for efficient movement
