Join us for an inspiring replay of the September 2025 session of The Bridge, where Isabelle Renard-Fontaine, MSPT, shares her expertise on the vital role of early reflexes in infant development.

Together, we explore how infant reflexes shape the foundation of neurodevelopment, what early signs to observe, and how understanding these developmental stages can unlock lifelong possibilities for physical, emotional, and cognitive growth.

This session offers practical knowledge and tools that can be applied at home or in professional care. It is a must-see replay for new and expecting parents, educators, therapists, and caregivers seeking compassionate, research-based strategies to help every child reach their fullest potential.
