Also known as the "joy reflex," the Landau helps the baby position the head and body in relation to space. The Landau helps to integrate the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) and helps to develop muscle tone for extension from the neck down through the core, legs, and feet. It also helps to develop core muscles and coordination of the upper and lower parts of the body and ability to control posture, thereby allowing the child to stand and walk. A retained Landau reflex may result in a student's inability to concentrate on details or process new information and may have poor organization skills. They will most likely have challenges with vestibular and ocular motor skills, skills such as hopping, jumping, and skipping. They also may have a hard time being assertive, transitioning from one activity to another, responding to danger, and may experience depression.
