Child doing primitive reflex integration exercises at home with a parent

Does this sound like you?

“My child is struggling and I genuinely don’t know what else to try.”
“The waiting list is months long and my child is struggling right now, today.”
“We’ve tried a lot of things. Some helped for a bit, but nothing has really changed.”
“I just want someone to tell me what to do. At home. Every day. Without it being complicated.”

You’re not missing something obvious. What you probably haven’t had is a clear explanation, and a simple plan to follow at home.

Signs your child may have retained primitive reflexes.

Every baby is born with primitive reflexes, automatic movements that help them survive. Usually they fade in the first year or two as the brain takes over with controlled movement. When that doesn’t fully happen, some reflexes stay active and can get in the way of focus, coordination, senses and emotions.

It isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a pattern that specific, regular movement exercises can help with, and that’s what this course teaches.

Focus and attention

  • Can’t sit still for more than a minute or two
  • Gets up constantly during meals or homework
  • Loses concentration the moment something moves or makes a sound
  • Seems to hear instructions but can’t follow through

Movement and coordination

  • Trips over their own feet regularly
  • Avoids crawling, rolling or floor play
  • Finds it hard to use both sides of the body together
  • Posture keeps collapsing, however often you remind them

Sensory processing

  • Strong reactions to textures, clothing labels or hair brushing
  • Overwhelmed by busy or noisy places
  • Craves constant movement or being squeezed
  • Motion sickness, or strong reactions to spinning and swinging

Emotional regulation

  • Meltdowns that seem much bigger than what triggered them
  • Takes hours to calm down once upset
  • Struggles with transitions and changes in routine
  • Anxious in new or unpredictable situations

Not every child shows all of these. What we look for is a cluster of things that don’t quite add up. Want the detail on each reflex? Read primitive reflexes explained.

What’s inside the free course.

Made to be used, not read. Short sections, every exercise on video, about 15 minutes a day.

Every exercise on video

You press play and copy what you see. At first many children only manage a few seconds of some exercises. That’s normal.

Understand what’s going on

How to spot which reflexes might still be active, so things that felt random start to make sense.

Easier and harder versions

For low muscle tone, sensory sensitivities, or a child who finds instructions hard. We built it with those children in mind.

We’ll tell you where to start

Tell us about your child and we’ll point you to the exercises that matter most for them right now.

Notice what’s shifting

Progress is often quiet. A simple tracker helps you spot small changes on the days it feels like nothing is moving.

You can ask us things

Email us if an exercise isn’t working or you’re not sure you’re doing it right. We read everything and we reply.

What to expect, honestly.

  1. Weeks 1 to 3Often feels like nothing is happening. That’s normal. Some parents notice slightly better sleep or calmer evenings.
  2. Weeks 4 to 8Many parents first notice one specific thing: a task that went differently, or a meltdown that didn’t happen.
  3. Months 2 to 4Small moments start to become more regular. Posture, coordination and calmer days are common things parents mention.
  4. Month 4 onwardsSome patterns take longer. Families who keep going often describe a child who seems more comfortable in their body.

Every child moves at their own pace. The one thing that predicts progress is doing a little most days, and that’s the part you control.

We’ve been where you are.

We’re Adi and Dana Latter, a husband and wife team in Mill Hill, London. When our own son was struggling, we read everything and sat in rooms with people who were trying to help, but nobody could tell us what to do at home, this week, with our child.

What changed things was working on the nervous system rather than managing what showed up on the surface. This course is what we wish we’d had back then. Adi is a Melillo Method practitioner and primitive reflex specialist. Dana has worked with children for over 20 years. Together we’ve supported more than 1,000 families.

“Dana and Adi are a great team, incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Even after completing the Intensive week they continued supporting us, answering any concerns with confidence and care. They always found a way to help our son and gave us the strength to do the same at home.”

Faranak Barabhuiya
London

“After an intensive week of functional therapy with Dana and Adi, and implementing everything we learned at home, we saw improvement in our son’s behaviour. He is calmer now, his focus has improved, and his sleep has improved.”

Niko & Sanja Apostoloski
London · Son aged 4, autism

“Very caring and truly have your best interests at heart. Check ins from Dana help to keep you focused with working on programmes at home and they are always there with support and any extra questions. Highly recommend.”

Is it right for your child right now?

It’s probably a good fit if…

  • Your child works so much harder than others just to get through an ordinary day
  • You’ve had lots of advice, but nothing has come together into something you can actually do
  • You’re on a waiting list and can’t just do nothing in the meantime
  • You can manage 15 minutes most days. Not every day, just most
  • Your child already sees someone and you want something practical to do between sessions

It’s probably not right if…

  • You’re hoping for results without regular practice
  • A home routine just isn’t possible right now
  • Things are too chaotic to add anything at all. That’s okay. Come back when things settle

If you feel your child needs a proper look first, a free call with us is the better place to start.

Questions parents ask us.

How can primitive reflex integration help children with ADHD, autism or developmental delays?
If your child’s nervous system is busy managing old reflex patterns in the background, there’s less left for learning, staying calm and getting words out under pressure. Integrating those reflexes gradually takes some of that load away. Parents often describe their child starting to reach things that were always there.
What exercises are in the course?
Mostly floor based: crawling patterns, opposite arm and leg movements and simple balance activities. Nothing that looks like a therapy session from the outside. A lot of children think they’re playing games.
How long do the exercises take each day?
About 15 minutes. It isn’t the length that matters, it’s doing it most days. Short and regular beats long and occasional.
Do I need special equipment or therapy experience?
No. A bit of clear floor space, and sometimes a ball or a chair. If you can watch a video and copy it, you can do this.
Will it work for a child who is non verbal or has low muscle tone?
There’s something here for them. We built the course around children with higher support needs from the start, with easier versions throughout. These are the children we work with every week.
Can we do it alongside OT, speech and language therapy or other support?
Yes, and we’d encourage it. It doesn’t replace anything your child already gets. Some parents tell us their child got more out of therapy once they started this at home too.
How long until we see results?
It varies. Some families notice small shifts in the first few weeks, others take longer. Across the more than 1,000 families we’ve worked with, doing a little most days is what makes the biggest difference.
When should we get more support than a home course?
If your child has a complex picture, very strong sensory needs, or you’ve done the exercises regularly for about eight weeks and seen very little change, book a free call. We’ll tell you honestly whether home practice is enough or more direct support would help.

This course is general information and home exercises for parents. It is not a diagnosis or medical advice, and it does not replace advice from your GP, health visitor, paediatrician or other health professional.

Start tonight. It’s free.

The same approach we use in our London clinic, made for home. Every exercise on video, about 15 minutes a day.

Ages 18 months to 18 years · No equipment · No diagnosis needed
