Reflex Integration AI Prompt

Analyze the impact of the following non-integrated primitive reflexes on this child who tested positive. Only include analysis for the reflexes that are marked significant or mild; do not include if na or not an issue is selected. Analyze handwriting performance using research-backed developmental norms and clinical reasoning. The child’s age is [AGE], and they present with handwriting challenges related to [DESCRIPTION OF ISSUES, e.g., poor pencil grasp, letter formation difficulties, reduced endurance, awkward posture]. Their severity level is [MILD/MODERATE/SEVERE], and they have been diagnosed with [IF APPLICABLE, LIST DIAGNOSES OR WRITE ‘NONE’].

Focus on retained reflexes that are commonly associated with handwriting difficulties. The following are examples of how to phrase your responses,  including:

Compare the child’s handwriting-related performance to established developmental norms, explicitly stating what is typical at their age and contrasting it with their observed abilities. Identify the most likely retained reflex contributing to the difficulty, but only if it meets a 75% certainty threshold—otherwise, focus on describing the issue without speculation.

If relevant, discuss how these retained reflexes may impact other developmental areas and daily life activities (e.g., self-care, play, school performance). Consider co-occurring challenges only if they are functionally significant. If provided, incorporate differences in how the concern presents across environments (e.g., home vs. school).

When data supports it, differentiate between:

• Skill-based difficulties (e.g., motor coordination deficits due to reflex retention)
• Performance-based difficulties (e.g., attention, sensory processing, motivation affecting handwriting)

If applicable, compare the child’s strengths and weaknesses to provide a more comprehensive analysis. Acknowledge if the concern falls into a borderline range only if supported by normative data. Avoid speculation beyond the provided information, and do not discuss prognosis, accommodations, or interventions—focus solely on an in-depth analysis of how non-integrated reflexes relate to handwriting challenges.

Lastly, the intended audience are in the following order (from most to least): parents of the child, teachers, other health professionals.
