Here we are working on an exercise pattern for children that show signs of retained primitive reflex called Asymmetric Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR). The purpose of this particular primitive reflex is to help with movement through the birth canal. It is also purposeful for a cross-pattern movement like crossing midline and bilateral integration activities. We typically see this until about six months of age, and then it should be integrated at that point. Some signs of retention would be decreased ha

The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) is closely linked to dyslexia due to its impact on a child’s development. When the ATNR is retained, it can disrupt motor skills and coordination, which are crucial for reading and writing. It has huge impact on learning. Signs of Retention/Impact on ADLs are noticed : • Decreased hand-eye coordination • Poor handwriting • Uncoordinated gait • Poor balance • Poor visual-motor skills and tracking • Problems with math and reading • Difficulty crossing midl
