What is Brain Gym
Brain Gym is the registered trademark for a developmental movement program established by Paul E. Dennison Ph.D., an expert in child motor-development. It is based upon 80 years of research by educational therapists, developmental optometrists, and other developmental specialists. Brain Gym consists of simple movements similar to the movements that children naturally do during their first three years of life to accomplish important developmental steps for co-ordination of eyes, ears, hands and the whole body.
The Brain Gym movements have been shown over years of clinical experience, in field studies and in published research reports, to prepare children with the physical skills they need in order to learn to read, write and otherwise function effectively in the classroom. The ability to learn easily is especially important for children in the first years of school, when they are laying the foundation for their future schooling and adult life work.

How does it work?
Briefly, Brain Gym works by facilitating optimal achievement of mental potential. Brain Gym promotes efficient communication among the many nerve cells and functional centres located throughout the brain and body. Blocks in learning occur when information cannot flow freely among these centres. The Brain Gym movements stimulate this flow of information within the brain and body, freeing our innate ability to learn and function at top efficiency.
