Crawling for Brain Development©: A Sensory and Primitive Reflex Integration Curriculum

Unlock the power of foundational motor skills with Crawling for Brain Development©, a comprehensive 5-week guided program designed to enhance sensory processing, motor skills, and overall brain function. Ideal for individuals aged 3 to 100+, this program targets challenges in reading, writing, coordination, and more, offering therapist-directed activities that elevate brain function from fight-or-flight to higher cognitive processing. Whether implemented at home, in classrooms, or in therapy sessions, this curriculum supports sensory modulation, reflex integration, and bilateral coordination, making it a versatile tool for therapists, educators, and parents.

Features

• Enhances sensory processing, reflex integration, ocular motor skills, auditory processing, timing, and sequencing.
• Suitable for a wide age range and various settings, including home, school, and therapy.
• Comes with clear instructions, full-color images, and modification options.
• Progress Tracking: Features checklists, calendars, and certificates to monitor and celebrate achievements.

Age: This program is designed for children and adults ages 3-100+ struggling with:

• reading
• writing
• motor skills
• coordination
• ocular motor skills
• timing and sequencing
• sensory processing challenges
• retained primitive reflexes

How To Use It
The program will likely take longer than 5 weeks to complete, which is perfectly fine! The activities progress from easier to more challenging as the weeks continue. Each activity should be practiced until mastery before moving on to the next day.

• At Home: Parents can follow the easy-to-understand guide and integrate activities into daily routines.
• In Classrooms: Teachers can implement the program with their students, using the visual handouts and checklists to monitor progress.
• In Therapy Sessions: Therapists can incorporate activities into sessions and provide guidance for home exercise programs.
