• Retained primitive reflexes: the child did not go through stages of development enough, so he never developed the ability to attend in the first place.
  • o   Moro Reflex for hypersensitivity especially to sound (requiring a separate testing location) and for impulsivity, distractibility, and anxiety
  • o   Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex for sequencing and organizing
  • o   Spinal Galant for impulsivity, the racing mind, poor organization, and auditory processing/attention
  • o   Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex for visual tracking and slow auditory processing
  • o   Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex for visual tracking and the wandering mind
  • Auditory Processing Disorder, causing inability to keep up with instructions or lectures
  • Visual processing problems, such as averting eyes, overly stimulated by visual material, tracking and convergence
  • Low working memory causing mental fatigue or spaciness
  • Low cognitive attention skills that were never developed

1.    Start with integrating the primitive reflexes. Use Maintaining Brains Everyday DVD www.pyramidofpotential.com/maintaining-brains. For some people this is the only step that is necessary!

2.     Do a listening therapy for auditory issues.

3.     Do some vision work or vision therapy for visual issues. Be sure to do the previous steps first as this step could be lengthy, painful and expensive otherwise.

4.      Finally, do the cognitive training. You can purchase Growing Brains Everyday  www.pyramidofpotential.com/growing-brains for someone who is in elementary school if you want a curriculum that is written in step by step form. Or, get help from a professional who has been through the training themselves. Go to www.brainadvancementteam.com/locate-a-coach or do it yourself by becoming a coach www.brainadvancementteam.com. Not only do the coaches do the cognitive training, but they work through all the levels of the Pyramid, too.
