COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Dynamic &

Postural Reflex Integration course provides the foundation for professionals

and parents to understand the importance of primary

motor reflex pattern maturation, why a reflex might not be

integrated, the impact a non-integrated reflex can have, and the MNRI

techniques designed to assess and integrate reflexes. Primary motor reflex

patterns emerge along a predictable developmental continuum, with each

successive reflex emerging to secure a child’s survival and protection as his

system mature and advances. When adequately engaged, each reflex anchors

neurologically more deeply a physiological, emotional and psychological sense

of security, freeing an infant to focus

on exploring, learning, and fully advancing through all stages of primary motor

reflex maturation. It is through this complete integration process that

primary motor reflex patterns form the foundation for related motor reflex

schemes (sitting up, crawling, walking, etc) to mature and for each of us to reach our full potential over time, anchoring

emotional and behavioral regulation, and advancing motor, communication, and

cognitive learning. Congenital disorders or traumatic events that occur in

utero, at birth, or anytime after birth can interrupt the activation,

maturation and integration of a primary motor reflex pattern. Depending

upon the number of reflexes impacted and the maturational deficits of each

impacted reflex, a broad spectrum of life challenges can occur.

The MNRI Dynamic

and Postural Reflex Integration course explores:

-

The general MNRI Method and the role played by the Dynamic and

Postural Reflex Integration Program

-

The progression primary motor reflex patterns beginning in utero

and continuing through life

-

The role primary infant reflex patterns play in establishing

subsequent related motor reflex schemes and the development of advanced motor,

communication and cognitive abilities and emotional and behavioral regulation

-

MNRI techniques to assess, pattern and integrate primary motor

reflex patterns

-

How to create MNRI primary motor reflex integration programs for

individual clients

-

How to incorporate use

of MNRI Dynamic and Postural Integration course content into daily client and

home practice

Course Objectives:

Upon successful

completion of this four-day, 32-hour Dynamic and Postural Reflex Integration

course, participants:

1. Learn about the

Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration SM (MNRI) Method

a) Its

scientific origins

The

role of a reflex and its sensory, motor and central nervous

system mechanisms

c) Primary

motor reflex patterns, the subordinate role each plays in the maturation of

more complex related motor reflex schemes (sitting-up, crawling, etc), the

development of learned motor, communication and cognitive abilities and in

achieving potential across an individual’s lifespan

d) The

impact of:

-

Trauma on primary motor reflex patterns, the protective role

immature reflexes play, and the negative impact protection can have on an

individual’s ability to self-regulate, learn, develop and grow.

-

Stress and negative learning experiences on the integration of

reflexes necessary for reading, writing, eating, core stabilization,

visual/motor integration, speech/language development and auditory processing.

2. Learn, classify

and explore (through in class demonstration) the body’s motor coordination

systems, the corresponding brain level responsible for managing each system,

and the implications for reflex integration.

3. Learn the

importance of primary motor reflex patterns and identify, define and classify

each pattern

a) Based

on the research of Pavlov (1927), Simonove (1987), Kornorsky (1970) and

Vygotsky (theory of Cognitive Development as reprinted in 1978)

Compare

and contrast dynamic and postural motor reflex patterns found in the coronal,

sagital and axial body plane coordination systems

c) Analyze

the reflex integration:

-

Process: Reflex

circuit => Reflex actions => Basic pattern => Variant patterns =>

Intentional movement => Skill development => Motor planning

-

Links with

facilitating and opposing reflexes

-

Connection to

emotional and behavioral regulation and personality development

-

As the fundamental foundation

for optimal motor, communication and cognitive learning and growth

4. Learn to

implement MNRI assessment techniques to determine the integration state of each

primary motor reflex pattern.

a) Explore

the norms of automatic motor development based on the assessment metrics

presented in Shirley’s Scales of Motion Development

(1986) and enburg and

Doss’s Scale of Motion Habits (1986).

Learn,

understand and identify:

-

The MNRI Method parameters important to determining the

integration state of each reflex

-

The possible range of integration states for each primary motor

reflex pattern including integrated (typical maturational pattern),

dysfunctional (atypical, immature) and pathological (absence of any pattern or

presentation incorrect or wrong pattern).

c) Demonstrate

through supervised hands-on-application the ability to conduct an MNRI

assessment and adequately determine the state of each primary motor reflex

pattern

5. Learn to

implement the MNRI techniques to integrate each primary motor reflex pattern

a Learn

through demonstration and hands-on-practice the MNRI techniques designed to

activate and integrate primary motor reflex patterns

Learn

through course discussion and

instructor demonstration how to deal with unique and challenging client

situations using MNRI method

techniques

c) Demonstrate

for course instructor the ability to appropriately apply integration procedures

for each primary motor reflex pattern

6. Learn to use course knowledge to create and apply an

individual MNRI program for clients with various

challenges

a) Use

the MNRI pre-assessment techniques to identify dysfunctional primary motor

reflex patterns

Develop

an individual MNRI program based on assessment results and targeted individual

challenges

c) Explore

with client family the potential impact the individualized program can have on:

-

Body structure, posture, and motor maturation

-

Motor, communication and cognitive learning abilities and

emotional and behavioral regulation

7. Explore, evaluate,

and develop strategies to incorporate the use

of the MNRI Dynamic and Postural Reflex Integration course content into daily

client and home practice.
