How strong are ATNR and STNR? Quick scale: slight arm drop = 1, halfway = 2, full drop or face to floor = 4. A 1 to 1.5 means we can start vestibular work and gently add convergence training 👀⚖️ Eye drift often points to upper brainstem, while Moro and TLR sit lower, so sequence matters. Calm the lower reflexes, then build vestibular and eye teaming for smoother control. DM “Help” and my team will get on touch. Need support for your child?

ATNR, STNR, Moro, and TLR are early reflexes that should fade as the brain matures. Rough guide. ATNR around 6 to 8 months, STNR around 8 to 10 months, Moro around 3 to 4 months, and parts of TLR can persist up to about 3.5 years. When they hang on, the nervous system leans on primitive patterns and the midline cerebellum has to work overtime 🧠✨ What you might see in real life. Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, flattened or exaggerated spinal curves, and even lateral curves as the A to P

This is a reflex test... It's called the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR). This reflex should normally integrate (go away) by around 6 months of age. If it's still present later, it can affect posture, hand-eye coordination, and even reading and writing skills. You can check this on your child by having them in a "puppy push-up" position, gently turning their head side to side, and watching to see if their arms straighten or bend in response.
