As a parent or teacher, you want to help your child thrive, but finding time for therapy exercises can feel overwhelming. What if you could make a real difference in just 10 minutes a day? This practical guide bridges the gap between clinical therapy and everyday life, offering simple yet effective activities that seamlessly integrate into your child's natural environment.
The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) plays a crucial role in childhood development, affecting everything from motor skills to learning abilities. When these primitive reflexes aren't properly integrated, children may experience challenges with coordination, attention, or sensory processing. This book helps you identify whether your child has retained reflexes and provides clear, actionable steps to support their development.
Created by occupational therapist Kokeb McDonald, this guide transforms complex therapeutic concepts into engaging, kid-friendly activities that can be done anywhere. Each exercise takes just 5-10 minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings before school, quick sessions during recess, or relaxed moments at home. The step-by-step instructions include helpful illustrations that make it easy for caregivers to implement techniques correctly, even without a therapy background.
Unlike traditional therapy that often requires clinical environments, these exercises work seamlessly in classrooms, playgrounds, and living rooms. You'll discover how to incorporate therapeutic movements into everyday play routines, making progress feel natural and fun rather than like work. The included symptom checklist helps track improvements, while the glossary of clinical terms demystifies professional terminology.
Whether your child struggles with motor delays, auditory sensitivity, or learning challenges, this guide offers compassionate, practical support that empowers you to become an active participant in their developmental journey.
