Reflexes & Developmental Milestones Flashcards
Term: present in newborns; involuntary movement; integrates by 6mo so voluntary movement can be attained
Primative Reflex
List the red flag for lower CNS development
Persistence of primitive reflexes impact motor development
List the red flag for higher CNS development
Failure of primitive reflexes to integrate
List another red flag of motor development
