Saturday Seminar: Brain Gym, a Movement-Based, Learning Readiness Program

Events,

This past Saturday, we hosted a VERY well attended (80+!) seminar at Therapro headquarters.

Pamela Formosa, MA, OTR/L, explored how Brain Gym can be used to support children with sensory integration, attention, emotional or learning issues to solve their own puzzles.

Brain Gym® is a movement-based, learning readiness program. Through the use of goal setting, self awareness techniques and movement activities, participants will explore ways to help students move forward with learning success.

Here’s a short clip from the workshop:
