Parents and Educators: learn how to be a more successful mentor to children with ADD, AD/HD or learning problems. This phenomenal two-day workshop on improving students' attention and achievement will teach you practical, easy to do movements that will help students be more successful in school.
Brain Gym is an educational, sensori-motor program developed by Dr. Paul E. Dennison, Ph.D., an expert in child motor development. Learn simple and effective movements that enhance attention, memory, organization, mental energy and academic skills. “Exercise turns on the attention system, the so-called executive functions — sequencing, working memory, prioritizing, inhibiting, and sustaining attention,” according to John Ratey, M.D., associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Hands On! is a great workshop for parents, educators, educational therapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and special education teachers.
