ROA # 3

ok, here it is!  All of Kate's accomplishments!

Primitive Reflexes
level 4 is highest, 0 is the reflex is gone

Rooting- started at 4, now at 1
Moro-    started at 2, still at 2
Grasp-    started at 1, still at 1
ATNR-  started at 2, now at 1
TLR-     started at 4, now at 1
STNR-  started at 4, now at 1
Landau- started at 2, now at 0  yippeee!! gone!
Spinal Galant- started at 4, now at 2

It is great that most primitives are at a one or 2.  The ones that are at a 1, are just about gone.  So a few more months of doing the exercises and *hopefully* they will be gone.

Vision

OPK- was 6, now 8 (goal 15)
VOR-was 13, now 14 (goal 15)
Visagraph(reading)- wasn't able to complete this the first time, 2nd assessment was grade 1.5, now grade 2.6  (she went up 2 grades in 6 months in reading!!)
Pupillometry- was 6, now 8 (goal 9.5)

Hearing and Smells she is at her age level, she started out high in both areas anyway

Touch
Arm touch- was 10, now 9 (which is good because she was overly sensitive)
Leg touch- was 8, now 9 (goal 9.5)

Fine Motor skills- was age 3, now age 6
PRNG- was level 9, now level 15 (highest level)  PRNG is maturity of balance and equilibrium system.
Proprioception- was age 5, still age 5 (though she did improve on the right side, but left was weaker and they go with the lower score)

Core

Supine- was age 4, now age 9
Prone- was age 6, now age 8
Lateral- was age 4, now age 7
Brachiation- was age 4, now age 7(but she can hold this longer, just on testing day this is what she did)
Sit ups- was age 4, now age 5
Push ups- was age 4, still age 4

Balance Beam- was age 8, still age 8
Gait and Aerobics- was age 4, now age 7
Interactive Metronome- was age 5, still age 5 (improved greatly, just not enough to move up 1 year)


So she improved so much in alot of areas and it is evident in what we are seeing in our day to day life.  There are still areas that she hasn't reached age level for and we are still working on those in our home program.  We will continue the primitive exercises and also do the exercises in the areas that she is not at age level.  We asked how many more sessions she would need to be at age level and balanced and they told us two.  So, right now we are going to work at getting these primitive reflexes to integrate and keep up the core exercises and right brain exercises.  And we will see about some more sessions.......a little later.  Kate is not interested in doing Brain Balance again for a while at least!
