Designed to address the motor issues that impact learning but are not “special ed” issue.. Reflexes are natural physical responses a baby has that helps him or her to survive outside of the womb.

While some reflexes may be more prominent in certain babies, reflexes help pediatricians identify if a baby is growing and maturing as he or she should be. . Peripheral Nervous system. 2.
