In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of primitive reflexes—the automatic movements present at birth that lay the foundation for motor, sensory, and cognitive development. Sherrie Wethey, occupational therapist, joins us to explain what primitive reflexes are, how trauma can interfere with their integration, and how treatment can improve motor skills, regulation, and higher-level learning.
