Brain Gym

Brain Gym is a series of simple and enjoyable movements that used with students in Educational Kinesiology to enhance their experience for whole brain learning. These activities make all types of learning easier and are especially effective with academic skills. Educational Kinesiology is a system for empowering learners of any age by using movement activities to draw out hidden potential and make it readily available.

In Eduu-K we see some individuals try too hard and switch off the brain integration mechanisms necessary for complete learning. The inability to express what is learned locks the student into a failure syndrome.

The solution is whole-brain learning through movement re-patterning and through brain gym activities which allow students to access those parts of the brain previously inaccessible to them.

The changes in learning and behaviour are often immediate and profound as children discover how to receive information and express themselves simultaneously.

For more than 50 years pioneers in behavioural optometry and sensorimotor training have provided statistical research showing the effects of movement upon learning.
Although Brain Gym activities will help any individual, young or old, to make better use of innate learning potential they are most effective after Dennison Laterality Repatterning. A student would need to see a Brain Gym
practitioner for this process. Children experiencing significant difficulties may need to use other modalities in conjunction with brain gym for best results.

Testimonial Parents
“In June last year my daughter was struggling at school. She found it hard to read and had very poor memory and her letters were always around the wrong way.
I was recommended to Janet by a friend who had heard about Brain Gym. We have been doing a daily routine of Brain Gym for 5 months. It is not difficult at all and we have remained positive the whole time.
My daughters’ reading level has gone up from low level to the highest for year 1. Her spelling has improved immensely and so has her confidence. The whole Brain Gym experience has been positive for us both and my daughters’ teacher has never seen a child improves like this ever in her teaching career.
I can only highly recommend Janet Cater and Brain Gym“.

Happy Parent! Northern Beaches.
