Guiding Development for Children with Challenges

Guiding Development for Children with Challenges
A Talk on Masgutova Neuro-Motor Reflex Integration

Children with challenges face an additional burden when it comes to making sense of their worlds. With normal development we rely on genetically inherited responses to stimulus that guide our maturation step by step. When some link in this sequence is missing, possibly through injury or disease, the whole process of maturation is compromised. The ensuing turmoil overshadows development and introduces a host of issues more complex than the underlying trauma. Teasing out "missing links" in stimulus / response behaviors furnishes opportunities for strengthening these links and guiding them into a more integrated relationship with the whole. This is akin to strengthening the foundation of a structure, enabling the possibility for more elegant and finely detailed construction to subsequently arise.

Dr. Svetlana Masgutova has been researching intrinsic behavior for 25 years and is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of infant reflexes. We present an opportunity to discuss some of her findings as they relate to developmental issues in children with challenges. We will focus on several stimulus / response reflex patterns that children with many different challenges can have trouble integrating, and demonstrate protocols that you can do with your child at home to strengthen these patterns.

We are offering a free 90 minute presentation on the Masgutova Method and other modalities, with a half hour question and answer period at the end.
