Brain Gym’s language – PACE, Balance, Goal/ intention, Celebrate etc, creates a positive perspective for viewing life that grounds me and carries me forward at the same time.” It has facilitated my growth as a person, increasing my inner resources and strength of character. “I learned about the Brain Gym program when a friend told me that doing Lazy 8s “magically” helped her daughter read compound words. This 3rd grader could read the words “cook” and “book”, but was unable to recognize the word “cookbook” until after doing Lazy 8s.
I had to find out more and began taking Brain Gym classes. I have since become licensed and am seeing children and adults make huge leaps in learning.The 26 Brain Gym® movements, exercises, or activities refer to the original 26 Brain Gym activities, sometimes abbreviated as the 26.
These activities recall the movements naturally done during the first years of life when learning to coordinate the eyes, ears, hands, and whole body. The twenty-six activities, along with a program for “learning through movement” were developed by educator and reading specialist Dr. Dennison and his wife and colleague, Gail E. With all the new research into the correlation between brain function and movement, it is clear to see why these movements have worked so well, they often bring about dramatic improvements in areas such as:Īcademics: reading, writing, math, test taking Dennison who say that the interdependence of movement, cognition, and applied learning is the basis of their work.Ĭlients, teachers, and students have been reporting for over 30 years on the effectiveness of these simple activities. In the field of neurosciences, leading thinkers like Doidge, Amen, Perry, Ratey, and Medina describe how movement stimulates the brain’s lifelong growth and plasticity. Starting in the 1970s, educator and reading specialist Dr. Dennison began to explain learning as incremental changes in attention behavior and function.
