Necessry information that complements the Tomatis work

By all means read this book. It gives you information that will deepen your understanding of the nervous system and how it functions when it is a bit off.
This book will interest parents, teachers, professionals who work with people having learning/movement issues. It offers a way to identify patterns that are left over from infancy.
Many high achieving adults will also find their quirks here.
This is not a book of recipes, but it will give you a good starting point.
It is more complex than Brain Gym, but covers similar material.

Creating more awareness

Few people are aware of the crucial role of primitive reflexes in child development. While primitive reflexes do not directly affect cognitive development, their presence, when they should have integrated by the age of 3, may signify various learning challenges, such as attention deficit and poor motor skills.

This book does well to raise the awareness by giving a scientific basis for why primitive reflexes affect learning and behavior. Unfortunately, the author does not reveal how she seeks to integrate those reflexes. Probably a case of not wanting to reveal trade secrets, but as far as I know, others have used various methods, such as getting the child to crawl, using rhythmic movements or isometric exercises.

Occupational Therapist

Excellant resource for looking at how prolonged reflexes can affect learning and behavior, also gives a chart for grading a reflex and ways to inhibit it. Great for those working with children, but is beneficial for adults as well.

Great Help

As an Educational Therapist and mother of a special needs child I find this book very helpful in understanding the roots of difficulties children have both academically and in their social/physical lives. I have also been able to offer information found in this book to other parents, and direct them to Occupational Therapy resources for remediation of the difficulties their children were experiencing.
