Description
Brain Gym is an educational, movement based programme which uses simple movements to integrate the whole brain, senses and body, preparing the person with the physical skills they need to learn effectively. Brain Gym can be used to improve a wide range of learning, attention and behaviour skills.

(Simply an expensive, tax payer funded substitute for growing up in the country, climbing trees, swimming in water-holes, riding horses, picking fruit off the trees, and maybe reading a book now and then.)
