Primitive reflexes are automated reflexes that are present in infancy. When they stick around they can play a role in difficulties with social and emotional development, gross motor, fine motor, eye tracking, coordination and more. 

By working on postural tone and strength, the exercise sessions target key areas in a fun and dynamic way that allows kids to enjoy the session, feeling engaged and accomplished in their achievements and progression. 

A child's muscle tone develops thanks to a complex brain and body communication and strengthening series. The exercise sessions at ACCC are working to build body and brain strength to support muscle tone development. 

Interoception is the ability to feel one's internal state. Feeling hunger, thirst, the need for  food, toileting, safety, pain, hot, cold, itchy and so much more. Interoception is linked to right brain development. Our exercise sessions can take more of a right-brain building approach working towards this. 

Balance is achieved with great feedback from the body and co-ordination of movement and stability thanks to great brain communication. Our exercise sessions have fun, dynamic and engaging ways to practice the building blocks to balance!

When appropriate postural strength, muscle tone, and the integration of primitive reflexes are addressed, we can then work on building coordination and gross and fine motor skills. This is where the magic happens in the exercise sessions! They are really fun, and parents want to join in too!
