Our goal is to give families in Taylor, TX a clear, individualized plan for real developmental gains.
Request an AppointmentWhat Causes Developmental Delays in Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome?
Every baby is born with a set of primitive reflexes that are meant to fade as the nervous system matures. When these reflexes don’t turn off on schedule, they can interfere with focus, coordination, sensory processing, speech, and social development, symptoms that frequently overlap with an autism or Asperger’s diagnosis. Identifying which reflexes are still active is often the missing piece for families who have tried traditional therapies without the progress they hoped for.
Step 1: A Full Neurological Exam
We start with a thorough neurological exam for babies, toddlers, children, teens, and adults alike. This exam checks for retained primitive reflexes that didn’t turn off when they should have, giving us objective, measurable data instead of guesswork.
Step 2: A Clear, Personalized Plan
No two patients are the same, so no two plans look the same. Depending on what the exam reveals, your plan may range from a single consult and coaching call to a structured series of therapy sessions. Having a specific goal and roadmap is one of the biggest factors in a family’s success with this approach.
Step 3: Real, Measurable Results
Once your plan is in hand, our team gets to work alongside you. We understand the frustration of hitting roadblock after roadblock with other doctors and traditional therapies, and our aim is to help your child or loved one start living the life they deserve rather than simply managing symptoms.
Who Can Benefit From Neurological Screening?
This approach isn’t limited to young children. We work with babies, toddlers, school-age children, teens, and adults who suspect that retained reflexes or underlying neurological patterns may be contributing to autism spectrum symptoms, sensory sensitivities, attention challenges, or developmental delays.
If your family has explored other therapies without the results you hoped for, our team at Oasis Integrated Medical Center would welcome the opportunity to take a closer look. We also work with patients dealing with related concerns like neurological brain testing, quantum neurology, and neuro-emotional technique, all of which can play a role in a comprehensive developmental plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a retained primitive reflex?
A primitive reflex is an automatic movement pattern present from birth that’s meant to fade away as the nervous system develops. When a reflex stays active past the point it should have turned off, it can interfere with coordination, focus, sensory processing, and behavior.
How is a neurological exam for autism different from a standard developmental screening?
Our neurological exam specifically checks for retained primitive reflexes and other neurological patterns that may be contributing to symptoms, giving us objective findings to build a treatment plan around rather than relying on behavioral observation alone.
At what age can my child be evaluated?
We evaluate patients of every age, from babies and toddlers to teens and adults, since retained reflexes and related neurological patterns can affect development and function at any stage of life.
How long does treatment typically take?
Every plan is individualized. Some patients see meaningful change after a single consult and coaching call, while others benefit from several weeks of ongoing therapy depending on what the initial exam reveals.
My child has already tried traditional therapy without much progress. Can this still help?
Yes, many of the families we see have already worked with other doctors and therapists. Screening for retained reflexes often uncovers a piece of the puzzle that traditional approaches don’t address.
Is this treatment only for autism, or does it help with other conditions too?
While we frequently see patients with autism and Asperger’s syndrome, this type of neurological screening can also benefit patients with attention challenges, sensory sensitivities, and other developmental concerns.
