Exploring the Essential Features of “Karen Pryor, Varleisha Lyons & Mica Foster – Certified Primitive Reflex Integration Specialist Training”

Become a Certified Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist* (CPRCS) and start using the small steps that can make a BIG impact on your patients’ day-to-day lives!
For your patients with retained primitive reflexes — and their families — every day can feel like a struggle.
Each meal is a challenge because of difficulty swallowing.
The constant worry that toe-walking and poor balance will lead to a serious fall and injury.
A last-minute change in the routine can result in an hours-long meltdown.
 But there are proven interventions to help your patients (and their caregivers) live the lives they deserve packed into this NEW Certified Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist training.

Led by a multidisciplinary team of rehab experts — including a PT, an OT, and chiropractor — you’ll get easy-to-integrate neuroplasticity techniques through case studies and recorded sessions to see for yourself the presentation of primitive reflexes in clients.

Walk away with printable worksheets and coloring pages, plus step-by-step home programs for patients of any age.

• Increase developmental success for your patients with neurological deficits, behavioral challenges, autism, sensory processing problems, learning disabilities, and ADHD.
• Treat adults with retained primitive reflexes due to a stroke, head injury, or other kinds of neurological trauma, including Alzheimer’s and dementia.

COURSE OUTLINE

Module 1: Integrating Primitive Reflexes for Optimal Function from Early Intervention to Adolescence
with Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS & Varleisha Lyons, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, ASDCS
Whether you’re an OT, PT, or SLP (or any rehab professional), you’ll learn what to look for when evaluating patients for retained primitive reflexes and how they impact their day-to-day lives and relationships.
Get treatment strategies including case examples, useful handouts, and activities to address handwriting, dressing, eating, and positioning. Plus, discover how you can keep patients engaged with your treatment plans for measurable progress.

Module 2: Primitive Reflexes: The Foundation for Function — Case Study
with Varleisha Lyons, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, ASDCS
Through a series of session recordings, Dr. Varleisha Lyons walks you through a primitive reflex assessment and shows you the subtle things to lookout for.
Get self-regulation and mindfulness techniques to decrease the activation of reflexive patterns, plus printable target tracking worksheets to chart patient progress.
 
Module 3: Address Primitive Reflexes and Promote Functional Skills — Case Study
with Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS
Take control in the integration process by understanding primitive reflexes and how they live in the lower brain centers.
In this one-hour case study, Dr. Karen Pryor talks about the importance of identifying and correcting primitive reflexes quickly and effectively because the brain remembers what it does the most. Learn how to disarm the power of a primitive reflex and increase active motion.
 
Module 4: Primitive Reflexes: A Deeper Look into the Nervous System Pathways
with Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS
Dr. Karen Pryor provides you with a deeper understanding of reflex and response mechanisms through discussion around the functional relationships between primitive reflexes and sympathetic nervous system interaction.
Discover internal and external factors that can impede primitive reflex integration and improve clinical outcomes!
 
Module 5: Addressing Social and Collective Trauma in Children, Adolescents and their Families
with Varleisha Lyons, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, ASDCS
Dr. Varleisha Lyons unveils the concepts of social and collective trauma and addresses its impact on children, adolescents, and their families.
Learn unique approaches for maintaining routine, sensory-based strategies, respiratory-based techniques, and mindfulness and the connection to trauma care. The recording concludes with discussions about the future and moving beyond the trauma.
 
Module 6: Pediatric Pain
with Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS & Mica Foster, DC
Retained primitive reflexes can be physically painful for children — tight muscles, overworked joints, and excess stress on nerves.
In this module, Dr. Karen Pryor and Dr. Mica Foster show you how to tap into the language of the nervous system to decrease pain and improve function in your pediatric patients. Plus, discover ways to empower patients and caregivers with easy-to-use home programs.
 
Module 7: Primitive Reflexes Influence on Eye Alignment & Body Function: What to Look for & How to Treat
with Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS
Discover ways to assist in rewiring around nervous system impairments for improved motor and learning outcomes.
You’ll find primitive reflexes that influence active movements, successful suck and swallow, rolling, coming to sitting and balance, and learning to promote developmental milestones.
Get easy-to-understand integration techniques as well as tips for a smooth conversion to home programs.
 
Module 8: Adult Central Nervous System Injuries Relationships to Primitive Reflexes — Symptoms and Treatments Using Simple Neuroplasticity Techniques
with Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS
Pediatric patients aren’t the only ones who benefit from Primitive Reflex Integration. In this module, discover techniques to treat these reflex patterns in adult patients who have had strokes, suffered brain or spinal injuries, even those living with Alzheimer’s or Dementia.
Learn how to calm the nervous system and reframe motor and sensory responses to promote active movement and increased function, for things like bladder control, balance, and swallowing. Plus, walk away with home programs your patients will want to use.
