Southwold Health Clinic

Brain Gym is used in schools every day around the world to make learning easier for all students of any age and ability. This programme stimulates the physical aspects of how learning takes place in the brain and body using our Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Vestibular senses that are essential if learning is to be successful. Brain Gym is extremely beneficial to children with learning difficulties i.e. Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autism and Behavioural problems, ADHD, ADD etc. "Gifted and Talented" children benefit too, becoming more "rounded" learners through being able to access more areas of their brain and their equally essential qualities.

Brain Gym movements are simple and fun. Students and teachers enjoy doing the movements as they reduce stress, making teaching / learning / behaviour and movement easier for everyone. Parents benefit from their children using Brain Gym as they become more confident, able to work more effectively, have a method to cope with stress, are more relaxed and behaviour and sociability are improved very quickly. Brain Gym movements improve communication throughout the brain quickly and simply.

I offer :

• Half day or full day training on Brain Gym that will give teachers a technique they can take back to their next class, to help their students achieve more success with less effort in learning. Teachers enjoy the workshop too. They feel energised, more positive and notice the immediate benefits the movements can bring and realise the potential Brain Gym can have in their school and their essential school statistics.
• Twilight staff training to suit your requirements.

• Dominance profiles – Understanding each pupils way of taking in new information and learning
