Reflexes That Impact Speech and Feeding Development

Reflexes significantly impact speech and feeding development, often unrecognized. Reflexes like the Babkin Palmomental and Hands Grasp Reflex influence jaw, lip, and tongue movements essential for chewing, swallowing, and talking. Incomplete reflex integration can lead to muscle imbalances and disrupt fine motor skills necessary for eating and speaking. Addressing these reflexes enhances nervous system movement control, improving clear communication and safe eating foundations.
