Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex.
That is where we are....the inability to totally integrate this reflex has a lot to do with spacial awareness...I think this video explains it best:
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex
Maddy has been working on this reflex for much longer than 30 days but it is a very hard one to master. Actually, when I do her daily therapy with her, even I have a hard time doing this one right away too. It's not the easiest but she is getting better at it.
Her OT says she thinks Maddy may have it mastered in about 2 weeks....the next sensory step she also tested positive for (these are the types of tests you want to get a negative) so we'll be moving on to that one soon...
It's a process. I get that. Maddy is, thankfully, always happy about it and doesn't complain or whine about having to do these extra things.
It never gets easier watching your child struggle with something a "baby" does naturally.
But she smiles. She says she loves me and that I'm the best mother ever.
And that helps.
