The way a person listens, sees, moves, and orients in their body shapes how they engage with the world. These processes develop together, not separately, and they continue to influence regulation, coordination, learning, and emotional balance throughout life.

This free live webinar focuses on a specific and powerful relationship. Patti Andrich will help you understand how auditory processing, visual function, and primitive reflex patterns work together to support posture, balance, visual efficiency, attention, and flexible responses to daily demands.

Primitive reflexes are early movement patterns that guide the organization of neurological development. Auditory input plays a central role in how these reflexes integrate and mature. Vision relies on both systems to stabilize gaze, coordinate movement, and support efficient processing. When these systems work in harmony, the brain organizes information more easily and consistently.

This discussion brings clarity to how these three systems influence one another and why supporting auditory processing often has broad and meaningful effects across visual, motor, and emotional domains. It offers a cohesive framework for understanding integration rather than isolated skills.

In This Session, You Will Learn

  • How auditory processing influences visual stability, coordination, and reflex integration
  • What primitive reflexes are and how they affect posture, balance, and attention
  • How vision depends on both auditory input and movement-based foundations
  • How The Listening Program® supports integration across auditory, visual, and reflex-based systems
  • Why addressing this triad together supports more efficient and sustainable development

This free live webinar is for professionals, parents, and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of how listening, vision, and movement shape regulation and learning.

About Our Guest
