The ATNR (asymmetrical tonic neck reflex) shows up early in infancy. When a baby turns their head, the arm and leg on that side extend while the opposite side bends. This reflex helps with early coordination and visual development. But it’s meant to integrate as the brain matures. When ATNR remains active, the body may still want to move with the head – even during tasks that require stability. This can affect: • handwriting and pencil control • crossing midline • hand dominance • eye-hand coord

Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex in Babies
The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) is a crucial reflex present at birth, helping with early movements and visual tracking. Ideally, it integrates by 6 months, but if retained, it can affect hand-eye coordination, reading, writing, and even balance. Children with an unintegrated ATNR may struggle with crossing midline, tracking objects, or coordinating both sides of their body. The good news? Play-based activities can support ATNR integration in a fun and natural way! #ThespeechclinicDubai

The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) is closely linked to dyslexia due to its impact on a child’s development. When the ATNR is retained, it can disrupt motor skills and coordination, which are crucial for reading and writing. It has huge impact on learning. Signs of Retention/Impact on ADLs are noticed : • Decreased hand-eye coordination • Poor handwriting • Uncoordinated gait • Poor balance • Poor visual-motor skills and tracking • Problems with math and reading • Difficulty crossing midl

This may look weird at first, but... This quick test can tell you a LOT about how your child’s brain and body are working together. What you’re seeing is a primitive reflex check for the ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex). 👀 How to do it: • Have your child stand with feet together • Eyes closed • Arms straight out in front • Gently turn their head left and right 🔍 What to look for: ❌ Arms moving when the head turns ❌ One arm dropping or bending ❌ Losing balance or swaying ❌ Stronger movemen

Primitive reflexes: we have to integrate them! Let’s talk about the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex. The ATNR emerges 18 weeks in utero and diminishes completely 3–9 months after birth. The effect of the retained ATNR can be poor eye tracking and difficulty crossing the visual midline. The occurrence of the reflex can cause difficulties in learning to read, telling the time and left-right confusion as well. ~ The ATNR is often called the “fencing reflex”, due to the fact that when an infant is ly

The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR), or the “fencer’s reflex,” is a primitive reflex that helps babies develop coordination and motor skills by supporting key milestones like rolling, crawling, and eventually walking. This reflex is essential in infancy, but if it remains active later in life, it can cause developmental challenges. 💡 Signs of an unintegrated ATNR: -Poor focus -Dyslexia -Difficulty crossing the midline -Poor gross and fine motor skills -Difficulty with balance & coordinati
