Ohhh pure gold! We do some cross the mid line challenges in my class and I am also trying to show them how to self regulate (aged 4-5). It seems I'll be finding some goodies in this channel. If only I could just drink the computer and gain all this knowledge instantly :D Step by step I guess.
Can these exercises make up for a truncated crawling duration? My son only crawled for 2.5 months and has dyslexia. I was really insistent he do midline- and primitive reflex- exercises when he was ~6.5 (we did them for a couple of months and I didn't see any dramatic improvement). I've taken him to a sacral cranial prof. and they did work and said his primitive reflexes were integrated (again I didn't see a whole bunch of improvement, i.e. he's still dyslexic, he's still ADHD). He's now 10yo and we are back and trying again. What am I doing wrong? What else can I do to support him? Are there ways to create the neuro-connections that weren't fully formed earlier in his development.
Multi-sensory instruction can sometimes be helpful. So various textures, colors, sounds of items to move/manipulate - maybe working into the school/educational task to give it almost a hands on/body on approach. The multi sensory should include proprioceptive and vestibular systems so crawling, rolling, push/pull/jump, activities. Can work into activities to combine with activities that work on decoding, sight works, comprehension strategies. A lot of repetition, and review, and small group/individual instruction. Even with those primitive reflexes integrated, crossing the midline and movement activities can help to develop our sensory system with appropriate integrated responses. Hope this helps!
@@dantheotman4140 Thanks for the response! We'll keep up the exercises then and try to incorporate more movement into our learning process. Thanks for sharing the video and the ideas.
@@cristinacampbell7372I would also get his mineral levels checked and take him to a dietitian and naturopath and make sure he doesn't have digestive issues that prevent him from absorbing nutrients. Maybe get a heavy metal test and do gentle chelation if he has metals in his body. I did these things and they were very helpful and I have several learning disabilities.
Thank you for posting! That finger and thumbs up was by far the hardest.
Thank you for your comment! That one gets me too!! If you add squats, it makes it more challenging also!
Thanks, it helps me so much in studying ❤️
Thanku so much... God bless you with success and happiness.
Thank you so much! I've been so depressed lately and this really does help ❤
Thank you for the comment, I’m sorry to hear that things have been tough. Don’t give up! There are brighter days ahead! May you find them soon

Superb activities! Thank You so much for sharing!
Thank you for the comment! It
Good explanation...would try it out for my child
whatautismtaughtus com hope it is helpful!
You are good at that 🎉
good stuff!
Very informative video
So happy you found it useful,
All the best :)
The thumb and pointer finger alternation is the only one that really messes me up. Ha!
Haha! Glad you got to try!! Hope you enjoyed ! :)
Weirdly it’s very had for me to tap my right hand on my head while rubbing my belly. I end up tapping my belly when I should be rubbing lol
So funny how that works !

I do ot I did since I was 5 years old
I feel like it is more difficult when if i really try and focus on where my midline is in between each movement
Full awareness and intention on crossing the midline! Love it !
