- What is the ATNR? The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) is present at 18 weeks utero and generally is integrated by 6-7 months of age. The ATNR helps children separate their head and neck movements from their extremity movements.
When the ATNR is not integrated children may have difficulty with:
🔹Bilateral coordination
🔹Visual tracking
🔹Crossing midline
🔹Handwriting
Occupational therapy activities that help to integrate the ATNR include:
🔸Bear crawls with ring toss
🔸Cross marches
🔸Rotation to grab toys
If you think your child needs an evaluation, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
