In this course, you will learn about the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex and how it supports early hand-eye coordination and movement patterns.
I will explain how this reflex prepares children for reaching, grasping, and later academic skills such as reading and writing.
When the ATNR remains active, children may struggle with crossing the midline, visual tracking, and handwriting.
These difficulties can sometimes be misunderstood and labeled as attention or learning challenges when the underlying cause may be a retained reflex.
