Reflexes Learning and Behavior
I am greatly interested in integrating reflexes through modified IM tasks and have gathered a significant amount of information on the subject. Here are some books I recommend.
Of course, IM hours are vastly limited in relationship to family life time. Parents wanting to learn some 'play' forms that would be helpful for their child should check out this collection of information or google search your self.
Ready Body Learning Minds This book offers an easy read version of the above, not as much detail, but very practical and easily applicable basics. The activity guide has wonderfully fun activities for children to do. Here are more links. I have not read even most of these - it's just a collection for those of you interested.
Reflexes and learning difficulties
Brain Gym Training in AZ focusing on reflexes by Kathy Brown
Moving Towards Balance
Developmental Delay Resource by Sally Goodard
Inhibition of Primitive Reflexes by Rosemary Boon
Reflex Integration by Mary Rentschler
This site has collected many many links I'll post here rather than refinding all of these. It looks like a very similar list to what I'm working for here.. Here's the source site for the info below.
