Integrating the STNR reflex: First watch my reflex highlights at the top of my page and start with integrating the TLR reflex. ~ The STNR reflex helps your infant learn to move the top half and the bottom half of their body independently from each other. The symmetrical tonic neck reflex is commonly referred to as the “crawling reflex” because it allows your baby to make the transition from lying down to getting up on their hands and knees. ~ The integration of the STNR is reliant on the head po

ATNR & STNR Reflex Exercise That Kids Actually Enjoy! Wheelbarrow walks aren’t just fun—they’re powerful. 🧠💪 When a child pushes toward a target like this, they’re engaging their neck, arms, and core… but they’re also working through foundational reflexes like ATNR and STNR that could be holding them back. Want to see more of what we do and how it can help your child? Comment “Infinity” below. | Infinity Neuromotor Development Center

🧠 Integrating reflexes like the ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex) is foundational for balanced movement and development! This Basket Hold exercise provides children with a clear visual cue to maintain stability, helping them recognize when their arms shift and when they’re able to hold steady. This is just one exercise from over 7 hours of detailed, hands-on content in our Parents Course, designed to help you support children with developmental delays. Want to see more?

When assessing infants, don’t forget about primitive reflexes 👶✨ For example, the ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex) causes the arm and leg on the side the head is turned toward to extend, while the opposite side flexes. So if baby’s head is turned right, you’ll see extension on the right and flexion on the left — totally normal at this stage! 💡That means when you’re checking range of motion, it might look like one side is tight or restricted… but really, it’s just that reflex doing its job

ATNR is a primitive reflex that babies exihibit and is part of the development of muscle tone, consistent one-sided movements with their body, and even proper hand-eye coordinations. Signs and symptoms of a retained ATNR reflex ‼️Poor hand-eye coordination, especially when writing ‼️ difficulty with visual tracking ‼️difficulty with handwriting ‼️poor balance ‼️difficulty throwing or catching a ball ‼️difficulty paying attention #thespeechclinicdubai#occupationaltherapy#sensoryprocessingdisorder

Patty Cake for ATNR Reflex Integration! 🎉👐 The ATNR reflex is super helpful for babies learning to crawl, but if it sticks around too long, it might muddle up coordination and attention in older kids. Why Patty Cake? Patty Cake is a fun game to play if your kid has retained the ATNR reflex. It encourages them to cross the midline of their body, boosting brain communication and coordination as well as engaging the cerebellum 👫 Ready, Set, Patty-Cake! Grab a partner and get those hands clapping

This is a reflex test... It's called the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR). This reflex should normally integrate (go away) by around 6 months of age. If it's still present later, it can affect posture, hand-eye coordination, and even reading and writing skills. You can check this on your child by having them in a "puppy push-up" position, gently turning their head side to side, and watching to see if their arms straighten or bend in response.
