Brain Gym began as a breakthrough for overcoming learning disabilities", but soon expanded into a program for drawing out potential at every level of skill and achievement.

 

Mission Statement:

Brain Gym International is committed to the principle that moving with intention leads to optimal learning.  Through our outstanding instructors and movement-based programs, we empower all ages to reclaim the joy of living.

 

In the 1970s, educational therapist Paul E. Dennison, Ph.D., working in collaboration with his wife and partner Gail E. Dennison, began drawing from and building on this knowledge to create the Brain Gym movements and the field of Educational Kinesiology ("enhanced learning through movement").

 

The Brain Gym movements achieved their first successes in California’s Valley Remedial Group Learning Centers. There they enabled many children and adults who had been identified as "dyslexic," "ADD," "hyperactive" or "learning disabled" to discover and develop their true potential. Subsequent studies published in North America, Germany, Australia, and elsewhere confirmed that the Brain Gym movements produced measurable gains in physical skills, learning skills, and academic performance. What is particularly noteworthy about the Brain Gym results is that changes are rapid, far-reaching and lasting.

 

 

Svetlana Masgutova, Ph.D. a psychologist in Russia, used Brain Gym with high school students who had been labeled "learning disabled" and placed in remedial classes. "Within a year," she writes, "a surprising number of those students were transferred into classes for gifted students." www.masgutovamethod.com
