About
Svetlana Masgutova, Ph.D.
Founder and Creator MNRI® / Masgutova Method®
Dr. Masgutova is a world-renown expert on primary reflex integration and neurodevelopment. She is Founder of the Svetlana Masgutova Educational Institute® for Neuro-Sensory-Motor and Reflex Integration in Lake Nona, FL and Founder of the nonprofit Masgutova Graduate School of NeuroDevelopmental Sciences.
Dr. Masgutova's MNRI® Reflex Integration program has reached an estimated 300,000 children and 80,000 adults in over 40 countries.
Dr. Masgutova developed the unique and statistically verified MNRI® Reflex Assessment, which evaluates the function of primary reflex patterns based on reflex and neurodevelopmental parameters. The MNRI® Reflex Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of the level of reflex development/maturity and the functionality of the sensory-motor system in an individual. It identifies reflex patterns as "in norm" or deviated in newborns, infants, children, and adults.
The MNRI® program applies neuromodulation techniques to retrain reflex circuit pathways. These safe, non-invasive techniques using reflex patterns aim to support healthy neurodevelopment, well-being, and learning.
Decades of practical work and scientific research published in peer-reviewed journals have demonstrated the positive effects of MNRI® on sensory-motor integration and physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development in infants, children, and adults.
Dr. Masgutova has published over 200 works on psychology, education, reflex Integration, and neurodevelopment. She received her doctorate in educational and developmental psychology and post-doctorate in Russia.
She also received a post-graduate degree in clinical neuro-speech development at the Medical Academy (Poland). She served as a lecturer on the early intervention faculty at Wroclaw Medical University and other universities in Poland.
