Brain Gym®in Schools

Brain Gym is used in the learning environment every day around the world to help make learning easier, more enjoyable and successful for all students of any age and ability. Brain Gym movements improve communication throughout the mind and body quickly.

How can Brain Gym achieve this?

This programme develops the physical aspects of how learning takes place in the brain and body using our Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Motor and Vestibular senses that most other learning interventions don’t address. Using specific movements is the key to improving the senses naturally and in a much shorter time period with lasting results.

Special needs:
Adults and children with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autistic spectrum disorders, Behavioural problems and ADHD can benefit from using this programme. It is very helpful to the "Gifted and Talented" too.

The following are a few areas that can be improved with excellent results

I offer :

• Half day or full day training on the benefits of Brain Gym in education
• Twilight staff training to meet your requirements on specific difficulties
• Staff training sessions to improve self development

• Understanding the principles of Brain Gym
• How the areas of the mind and body relate to learning

  This is extremely useful and will explain why a student may have difficulty in certain areas of learning and not others and to put a simple programme of movements together to help the student overcome their difficulties quickly and easily. This can be very beneficial for teachers too.
• Experience the benefits of the movements yourself and notice the changes you can bring to your pupils.

“I have better understanding why learning challenges occur and have something valuable I can do to help my children who are struggling in a fun way. Why isn’t this in every school?” GB
