Comparing Two Protocols to Improve Reflex Integration and Functional Performance

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Developmental Delay

In brief

The goal of this quantitative experimental study is to compare two occupational therapy interventions intended to improve functional skills. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: Do preschool children who participate in occupational therapy intervention designed to promote integration of the TLR reflex in conjunction with fine and gross motor intervention demonstrate improved integration of the TLR reflex in clinical assessment, compared to children who participate in fine and gross motor intervention only for an equal amount of time? Question 2: Do preschool children who participate in occupational therapy intervention designed to promote integration of the TLR reflex in conjunction with fine and gross motor intervention demonstrate improved integration of the TLR reflex in clinical assessment, compared to children who participate in fine and gross motor intervention only for an equal amount of time? Participants will participate in either a therapy program consisting of either fine and gross motor treatment in conjunction with reflex integration treatment, or fine and gross motor treatment only. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the group recieving reflex integration in conjunction with fine and gross motor treatment and the fine and gross motor only group to see if one is more effective at integrating the reflex and/or improving functional skills.
