Reflex Integration Resources
Reflex Integration at Nolan Speech and Language Center
Reflex integration plays a crucial role in supporting speech, language, and overall communication development. Primitive reflexes, which are present from birth, help shape motor coordination, sensory processing, and foundational skills necessary for speech and language. When these reflexes are retained beyond their typical developmental stages, they can contribute to challenges such as speech delays, articulation difficulties, and difficulties with oral motor control.
At Nolan Speech, we address reflex integration, so we can create a strong foundation for speech and language development, helping children communicate more effectively and confidently. Explore our resources to learn more about how reflex integration can support growth and development.

Explore the Move•Play•Thrive website to learn how the innate neurodevelopmental movements of infancy—rhythmic movements, primitive reflexes, and postural reflexes, that left untreated, can carry into adulthood and are associated with many developmental delays. Here are two resources explaining reflex integration and rhythmic movement training.
