Our INTEGRATE program develops the brain from the bottom-up, strengthening the foundation of the brain
Our program was created by a licensed Occupational Therapist and reflex integration specialist. The reflex integration program consists of neuro-motor movements, sensory stimulation, core/postural stability exercises, cross-lateral movements and recommendations for use of other modalities. Our creator & founder helps guide clients with their programs through our private FB support group.
Working with your child at home 3-5 days/week, for 30 minutes each session is the most effective way to change the brain and get optimal results. Following our reflex integration program step-by-step gives the brain the stimulation needed for positive changes.
Our program yields success. Parents who stay consistent with the work see positive changes in their children that last...all from the comfort of their own home.
Learn how unintegrated primitive reflexes can affect your child's behavior, learning, motor skills, language, and sensory processing.
Get on the waitlist for our new monthly subscription. This program changes each month to challenge the brain and create new neural pathways for improvements in multiple areas.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
The short answer is: many families report positive changes within the first 2-4 weeks; with continued improvements as you progress.
The long answer is: every child is different. The length of time it takes to integrate primitive reflexes and develop better balance between the hemispheres depends on how delayed your child is to start with; how old your child is; and how consistent & intense you are with the program.
Neuroplasticity (the term for "changing the brain") takes appropriate frequency, intensity, and duration. We give recommendations for these to create the most change.
A child that is "higher functioning" may improve significantly in just 4 months while a child that has more significant delays will need multiple years of continued brain development work to see their full potential.
In short, I recommend committing to a minimum of 4 months of consistent work with the program.
The program generally takes 30-45 minutes to complete each day. This includes primitive reflex integration exercises, core & postural stability exercises, balance training, neural timing training, and sensory stimulation. Expect more time at the beginning and less time (15-30 min) as the months progress.
Exercises can be broken up through out the day to make it less demanding. Usually at the beginning it can take longer as you learn the movements, but once you develop a routine the program will flow faster.
Younger children, and those with more emotional sensitivity may have shorter programs at the beginning until they can tolerate more.
No, you will not need to purchase equipment at the start. As the program progresses we may recommend downloading some apps for sensory stimulation, along with balance tools, and balls (which you may have at home already).
You have forever access to INTEGRATE.
For the Individualized Program, you will receive 4 - monthly video consultations with our creator & reflex specialist, Kara Rice, OT. The calls will be 4 weeks apart, and expire within 6 months of purchase.
Included in the program are self-guided initial assessments so you can re-assess every few months and have objective data to see changes.
Video & written instructions for every reflex integration exercise, core stability exercise, balance exercise, and all sensory stimulation.
You also have access to our private FB group page where you can ask questions and gain support from other families.
Although the majority of children will benefit greatly from the self-guided version of Reflex Integration Online, we understand some parents will want a more customized approach.
We offer a secondary monthly subscription for parents wanting to add on one consultation per month with our founder, Kara Rice, MOT, OTR/L. The monthly subscription includes all materials within Reflex Integration Online, plus one 30-45 minute consultation per month.
“The goal is simple: restore balance to the brain by targeting specific networks on one side of the brain with very specific stimulation. By combining different types of stimulation (light, sound, smell, movement, inner ear, balance, touch) along with cognitive and academic activities etc, we can activate specific networks on one side of the brain, causing them to grow and become more connected.” -Dr. Robert Melillo (Melillo Method)
