Patty Cake for ATNR Reflex Integration! 🎉👐 The ATNR reflex is super helpful for babies learning to crawl, but if it sticks around too long, it might muddle up coordination and attention in older kids. Why Patty Cake? Patty Cake is a fun game to play if your kid has retained the ATNR reflex. It encourages them to cross the midline of their body, boosting brain communication and coordination as well as engaging the cerebellum 👫 Ready, Set, Patty-Cake!

OTFC Minute Modules: Bub Club Edition What is ATNR and why do we test it? The ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Nerve Reflex) is a reflex seen in babies which helps them learn hand-eye coordination and prepares them for later movements like reaching and rolling. As babies grow, this reflect should fade. If it sticks around too long, it may affect things like crawling, writing or focusing in school. | OTFC Group | Facebook
