Primitive Reflex Integration Therapy for Children in Brisban

Primitive reflexes are automatic movement patterns present from birth. They support early survival and development. When they remain active beyond infancy, they can affect learning, movement, focus, and emotional regulation.

Signs include clumsiness, difficulty focusing, emotional dysregulation, sensitivity to sensory input, and challenges with reading or handwriting. A therapist assessment can identify retained reflexes.

Most children show meaningful improvements in coordination, focus, and emotional regulation within 3–6 months of consistent therapy.

Neurodiverse Playhouse welcomes all children and young people. No formal diagnosis is required.

Yes! Our primitive reflex integration is provided by our Exercise physiologists  at Neurodiverse Playhouse and may be covered under a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan (previously called an Enhanced Primary Care plan). With a referral from your GP, you may be eligible for up to 5 allied health sessions per calendar year with a Medicare rebate rate to cover part of the fee. Speak to your GP about whether a CDM plan is right for your child.

Please note there is an out of pocket fee.

Many private health funds cover exercise physiology under extras cover. The amount rebated depends on your specific policy and fund. We recommend checking directly with your health insurer before your first session. Our team is happy to provide receipts and invoices to support your claim.
