Many primary schools are using Brain Gym® to help children with the physical skills required for listening, reading and writing. Secondary and college level students use the Brain Gym activities to help them concentrate and focus, especially when under stress.
Getting body and brain in gear The simple, energising activities can easily be fitted into the curriculum during the school day to support co-ordination and balance; emotional well-being and communication skills. Teachers and learning assistants report that doing Brain Gym helps to keep everyone together and on track. Special needs teachers, occupational therapists and specialist practitioners find that knowledge of Brain Gym is a useful addition to their professional skill set. The physiology of learning Introductory workshops, INSET days, twilight sessions and tailored courses introduce Brain Gym to children, parents, teachers and other professionals. These allow participants to focus and manage their own physiological responses to the challenges of daily life. The dynamics of movement For schools that are already practising Brain Gym, advanced INSET sessions demonstrate the scope to vary and extend the basic activities by incorporating them into a music, story and movement brain warm-up before any lesson.
