The Masgutova Method® is a set of programs focused on the restoration and maturation of primary movements, reflexes, coordination systems, skills for optimal performance of natural mechanisms, developmental processes, brain functioning, and sensory-motor integration.

The Mission of the Svetlana Masgutova Educational Institute (SMEI) is to provide health, wellness and educational professionals, parents, and caregivers with non-invasive techniques to address maturational, developmental, and life challenges.


MNRI Workshop for Parents

 Course Overview:

Learning, planning, and the development of inner control are some of the most important functions of the brain and are the basis of successful learning.  The development of self regulation, language and academic skills depends on the appropriate development of the brainstem and sensorimotor integration.  The early movements, primary motor and reflex patterns offered in this workshop are the foundation of human development.  Successful formation of these abilities ultimately depends upon the physiological maturation of the brainstem (extrapyramidal nerve net) for movement, behavioral and learning. 

Challenges often result when reflex patterns do not develop properly, are immature, and/or are poorly integrated in comparison with typical patterns of development.  In addition, primary reflex patterns may not function appropriately following significant life stressors and/or trauma that children and adults may experience.  Data collected from thousands of MNRI sessions over the past 20 years has demonstrated that as the number of non-integrated primary motor reflex patterns in neurotypical children increase, a correlation in the number and severity of learning challenges becomes apparent.  

This MNRI Parent workshop explores the role primary movements and reflexes play in developing higher cognitive functions, motor and communication skills.  

 MNRI Workshop for Parents explores:

• The theoretical and physiological basis of the MNRI Method and the role primary sensori-motor reflex integration plays in learning

• The progression of primary skills necessary for optimal learning and self regulation

• MNRI techniques designed to re-pattern and integrate specific reflex patterns

• Ways to create MNRI reflex integration programs for children 

• Ways to incorporate this program into daily home practice.

Learner Objectives:

Upon successful completion of the 8 hours for the MNRI Workshop for Parents, participants will:

1. Understand how the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI ") method is based on activation of the innate nature of the sensorimotor reflex system to increase self-regulation

2. Comprehend how the primary motor patterns as the first biomechanics of development of all movements can create or restore healthy neurosensorimotor integration of reflex patterns, motor coordination, and skills affecting cognitive, emotional and physical functioning as well as neurodevelopment overall.

3.  Explore the maturational role that the primary sensory- motor reflexes play in the formation of specific academics and social skill sets that affect self-regulation. 

4. Recognize how the lack of consistent development of primary sensory-motor reflexes impact the development of positive learning, behavioral, and social skills.

5. Explore the specific MNRI techniques used for working with children and adults diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Anxiety, and other challenges.

6. Demonstrate how the MNRI® reflex patterns can be used to increase listening skills and focus, safety for boundaries for safety, handwriting, spatial awareness,  increased language and cognitive skills, as well as the  reduction of stress. 

7. Explore how to use the knowledge received in this workshop on an individual basis.

8. Apply and practice specific MNRI® hands-on training provided for specific reflex patterns.

SMEI Cancellation and Refund Policy

Courses are subject to cancellation due to lack of minimum required participants registered for the course within 10 days of the course start date. Full refunds (or transfer of funds to online account for future use) will be issued if the course is canceled due to the low number of attendees.

We recommend that attendees who will be flying do not purchase their flight until after the 10 day window has elapsed to avoid a nonrefundable circumstance with the airline. SMEI is not liable for any ticket costs related to the course being canceled. SMEI is not liable for any costs related to transportation (airline tickets, train, taxi, etc) due to the cancellation of an event.

  • Participants will receive a full refund for registration cancellation up to 21 days prior to the course.
  • A 10% administration charge will be retained for cancellations within 15-20 days prior to the course.
  • A 25% administration charge will be retained for cancellations within 14 days prior to the course.
Manual Download Policy

Once a student has downloaded the manual or any course resources, payment for this course can be transferred to a different time and location of the same course; however NO REFUNDS and NO TRANSFERS TO A DIFFERENT COURSE are allowed, even if the course is cancelled by the LAC or Instructor.

Transferring Policy

Participants who wish to transfer registration and payment to another SMEI course may do so.
*Participant must have selected the course they wish to transfer to at the time of the request. All refunds will be held until the transfer course has been selected. 

* A 2.5% transaction fee (processing fee) will be withheld on all refunds that were processed using credit card/PayPal. If a participant wishes the refund to be paid directly to their account via credit card/PayPal, PayPal may also charge the participant an additional 2.5% transaction fee (processing fee).
