LEARN ABOUT our

Week-Long Intensive Programs

Our intensive programs help children with: developmental delays, primitive reflexes, balance and vestibular issues, motor deficits, behavioral difficulties, involuntary movements, eye tracking dysfunctions, dyslexia, learning delays, cognitive delays, traumatic brain injuries, developmental coordination disorders, and much more.

These multi-dimensional care programs are tailored to a child’s unique needs and include two or more hours a day for approximately 5-10 days. After each intensive, a customized treatment plan is given to each patient with additional resources, exercises, and any recommended follow-up care (online or in-office).

We serve families near and far — whether you are local to the Midwest or are traveling from across the United States. We are here to support you and help your child get back to living a full healthy and happy life.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What are Primitive Reflexes?

Many kids struggle with primitive reflexes and, in turn, symptoms that range from sensory issues, muscle tone, balance centers, eye tracking, and poor cognitive brain function!

We are born with primitive reflexes that help us develop in the first year of life. These reflexes help us move efficiently, eat, and thrive.

Primary reflexes help our brain to develop optimally and they are extremely important to the sensory systems in our body. When these reflexes do not develop well, there can be a variety of symptoms from sensory and behavioral issues to physical movement difficulties.

Our goal at Infinity Functional Neurology is to help children develop a strong neurological foundation, and it starts with primitive reflexes.

Our intensive programs focus on primitive reflexes and helping kids with: behavioral difficulties, involuntary movements, eye tracking dysfunctions, learning delays, cognitive delays, traumatic brain injuries, developmental coordination disorder, and more.

If you are local to the greater Des Moines area, we would love to invite you to book a complimentary primitive reflex screening in the office, to help understand how these reflexes may be affecting your child.

If you live outside of our local area, we would love to connect with you on a complimentary phone consult to discuss ways that we can help. We offer multi-week intensive programs and, if traveling is not an option, we can help with customizing an at-home developmental plan!
