Does anyone know what the "MORO REFLEX" is and can it stay past childhood if it wasn't integrated properly. What effects can it have on someone who still has it.

The moro reflex is when a baby throws out and then pulls back its arms and cries in response to a loud noise or fear of falling. It's very unsual for it to persist past a few months old unless there is severe neurological damage r"l.

When they talk about reflexes not being integrated properly, it doesn't usually mean that the reflex is still there - as Jeanette said that would be very unusual and serious. What they mean is that something about it remains. It's thought to be linked with sensory integration dysfunctions and learning issues. There are several methods including OT techniques, Brain Gym, The Movement Program, iLS, probably others... that work on resolving these issues through physical exercises that bridge the gap between reflex and coordinated movement.

I feel the infant startle response is retained past its expected time frame for integration (4-6 months of age), the child will present with all or some of the following:
Sensitivity to light
Sensitivity to sound
Sensitivity to head movement
Anxiety
Clinginess
And others. The Moro is meant for survival (when a baby is born, its first gasp of air is through the Moro); however we need to move past that initial startle response to a more mature adult startle.
