2. Discuss the effects of trauma, stress, and negative learning experiences on reflex integration and the strategies to release non-productive protection tendencies.
3. Analyze and demonstrate integrative exercises for motor coordination systems, including adaptive techniques for working with hyper and hypoactive muscle tone, and the impact of these exercises on emotional, motivational, cognitive, communication, and motor challenges.
4. Explain neural development and neuroplasticity in children and adults with challenges, including its effects on reflex integration.
