Struggling with Motor Apraxia? Let’s break down three ways to help your child improve their motor skills: 1️⃣ Address primitive reflexes: These reflexes, like ATNR and STNR, can hold back your child’s coordination. By resolving them, the cerebellum can operate more efficiently, leading to smoother movements.2️⃣ Strengthen balance centers: Balance is the foundation of motor function. Focusing on balance enhances cerebellar integrity, helping your child achieve better stability and control.3️⃣ Imp

Apraxia of speech and the physiological mechanisms that connect the brain to speech mechanisms include the corticobulbar tract and motor neurons of the motor pathways that produce words #autism #apraxia #nonverbal #nonspeaking | Kimberly’s Educational Resources

Struggling with motor apraxia? 🌟 Here are three key steps to help your child improve: 1️⃣ Eliminate primitive reflexes: Primitive reflexes like the asymmetrical and symmetrical tonic neck reflexes can hinder progress. By working on these, your child’s cerebellum can function more efficiently, improving motor coordination. 2️⃣ Enhance balance centers: Balance is crucial for motor function. Strengthening balance centers leads to better cerebellum integrity, improving overall stability and coordin

His eyes couldn’t track. At all. This child came to us with severe oculomotor apraxia—he couldn’t control his eye movements due to a neurological issue that developed after an infection. We couldn’t even run a standard RightEye visual tracking test when he first came in. But here’s what we did: ✔️ Cleared his primitive reflexes (these must go before motor development can improve) ✔️ Activated his balance systems ✔️ Then began eye movement rehab Just two weeks later, he could stabilize his eyes,

Jakob has autism and apraxia. His apraxia causes a brain/body disconnect. His mind is constantly battling his body for control. He was asked to finish the sentence, “willpower means…” 💙#athomewithautism #helpingsendsmiles #cardsbyjakob | Cards by Jakob

Jakob has autism and apraxia. Apraxia causes a mind-body disconnect. He wants to try the sausage placed in front of me. He’s been instructing us how to help him. His body fights it. You’d think with all the dysregulation he’d be totally tuning out his communication partner. Not the case. He hears everything. (It took 6 hours but he finally ate the sausage and said it “tasted like heaven”.) See the entire interaction on our page. #cardsbyjakob #helpingsendsmiles #athomewithautism | Cards by Jakob
