Brain Gym has been proven effective in helping to arrest academic challenges like reading and comprehension, oral and written communication and math. It has helped improve many lives through improved vision, self-confidence and high self-esteem and is being used to arrest the challenges of autism, ADD, ADHD and other special needs of children and adults.
It facilitates the brain and body to work more efficiently together to make thinking and learning, movement and creativity easier. Brain Gym facilitates the process of achieving our personal goals – at our own rate and using the best of our resources. The basic idea behind Brain Gym is that the brain will develop, and learning will be enhanced, by certain bodily movements.
