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.
