Learning The Method

1. Analyze the innate nature of the sensory-motor reflex system and the foundational principles of the Masgutova Method®.
   
2. Analyze the role of reflexes and their sensory, motor, and central nervous system mechanisms in supporting neurodevelopment.
   
3. Differentiate the progression of primary movements beginning in utero and continuing throughout the lifespan.
   
4. Analyze the role of Archetype movements in establishing a foundation for motor, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral regulation, and predict their impact on occupational performance.
   
5. Investigate the structure, sequence, and influence of the eight Archetype motor patterns on brain functioning, and analyze their effects as change agents on physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development.
   
6. Demonstrate and implement MNRI® Archetype passive and active integration techniques within therapeutic sessions.
   
7. Demonstrate by hands-on techniques for restoration and integration exercises, including sensory, sensory-motor, and motor modalities, for each of the eight Archetypal movements.
8. Analyze the three structural body planes and motor coordination systems (sagittal, horizontal, dorsal) and predict how the eight Archetypal movements influence reflex development within each system.
9. Apply individualized MNRI® programs for clients with neurodevelopmental deficits and learning challenges that impact occupational engagement.
