ACCREDITED COURSES

Brain Gym® & Educational Kinesiology

Brain Gym® is an Educational Kinesiology program of 26 quick, intentional movement activities designed by Dr. Paul E. Dennison Ph. D. and Gail Dennison to directly enhance whole brain and body integration.

It allows access to full whole brain learning and living potential in all areas.

The consistent use of Brain Gym® movements wakes up neural connections in the whole brain and body to make us feel safe and emotionally centered. The movements also integrate the distinctive functions of the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Brain Gym® has been proven effective in helping to arrest academic challenges like reading and comprehension, oral and written communication and math. It has helped improve many lives through improved vision, self-confidence and high self-esteem and is being used to arrest the challenges of autism, ADD, ADHD and other special needs of children and adults.

Educational Kinesiology grew out of over 30 years of research by Dr. Paul E. Dennison Ph.D., an educational therapist working with children and adults with learning disabilities in California, USA.

Brain Gym® is being recognized and experienced by adults and children in homes, schools, business, sports & arts in over 100 countries on all 7 continents.

Original Play™

Play Specialist, O. Fred Donaldson PhD. in his on ongoing research and use of natural play with  children and wild animals for over 30 years coined the term Original Play™. It is free of competition, rivalry and feelings of winning or losing. It reaches beyond the boundaries of cultural, social, language, age and others that we can think of.

The practice of Original Play™ naturally creates a sense of safety within us in all areas in our lives. It helps reduce anxiety, violence, defensiveness, stress, fatigue & injury. It instills the internal courage to say ‘No’ to inappropriate interactions such as bullying and undesirable touch. It empowers us to see many choices out of our difficulties.

The physical movement in Original Play™ naturally helps to integrate our primary and postural reflexes and sense of balance, touch, spatial awareness, listening, seeing and others.

Children who have experienced Original Play™ love it as they are able to fully express themselves physically. During play children and adults are playmates.

As Fred says, “In Original Play™ children have no rules”, but children learn discipline and non-violence through the role modeling of the adults during play.

In the Original Play™ Apprentice Program, adults are trained in the principles and practice of how to become accessible to children during play and daily interactions. They practice techniques that will help keep the children and themselves physically safe during play.

The program will include two days on field play with children in schools and the community.
