Retained reflexes - any info please?

[siblingrivalry]

Hi

Recently I have read a few things on here about retained reflexes.
DD1 is 9 and has AS and dyspraxia, but I had never heard of RR. I would love any information anyone has about it because a few of the things I have read about seem to be applicable to dd.

Many thanks in advance.

I saw an article in a magazine recently.

The David Mulhall Centre www.davidmulhall.co.uk

Would recommend.

My son did RRT as part of Vision Therapy at our local, excellent, Behaviour Optometrist (they have to get rid of the reflexes before the eyes can develop normally, and sort out the tracking problems).

In 4 months all 5 of his retained reflexes had gone. He was a different child. Really amazing x

I've just bought a book from USA about integrating RR with exercises/photos/explanations etc. By svetlana Masgutova. She has a website but is in america. Not read the book yet as its huge! Looks interesting and cost a lot because of the p & p!

I read through this (ghost!) thread last night. Very interesting reading.
I am looking at finding a practitioner near me. Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere? I cant see one on the INPP website.

I looked at the manual and am thinking of getting it. But its £57 on Amazon and I'd like to know it was worth it before adding it to the bookshelf. Any advice?

Funnily enough I took dd2 to INPP in Chester yesterday.

Thanks Ido. What did you think of the assessment?

I have an 11 year old son who had low self esteem and struggled at school because he felt nothing he did was good enough, believed no one liked him and that no one would listen if he spoke out. This presented as physical symptoms, stomach ache, muscle aches in his legs and missing school. when all physical causes were ruled out and after much shedding of tears it came out that he felt isolated and inadequate at school. Another parent recommended contacting Pauline Shannon of Helping Handwww.helpinghandcenter.co.uk/ who had helped her child. Two months later and after daily exercises and Pauline realising my son had eyesight problems I have now a son with glasses who is happier at home and school. Just spending time together each day to do the exercises means we have time for just the two of us (he is one of four children) and he talks to me more now than ever before. He feels that someone carers how he feels and is on his side and that was the first hurdle to overcome. If you feel the same situation with your child give it a try, referrals through normal channels can take months and this is accessible and effective. Good Luck.

Hi, I've been looking into this for my 9yo. There is some sort of issue with behaviour and focus. Would anyone know of a Primary Movement therapist or a primative reflex therapist in Belfast?

Or if anyone would know of a DVD showing the daily exercises, that would be great!
