OUR UNIQUE INTEGRATION OF
• Focus attention and engage participant in an empathic response, creating a significant physiological effect on the body and on behavioral choices. (Paul Zak, 2013)
• Activate episodic memory and light up the
whole brain for learning (Dr. John Medina, Brain Rules, 2010)
Research Highlights
using Bilateral and Cross-lateral Intentional Movement
• Decrease off-task behavior in preschool age children (Dr. Jennifer Dustow, Autism Project, 2009)
• Improve creative problem solving, language skills, and memory (Gwen Dewar, Ph.D., The Cognitive Benefits of Play: Effects on the Learning Brain, 2008)
• Increases attention span and ability to ignore distractions and concentrate effectively
• Enhances behavioral regulation, metacognition, and overall global executive function (Flook, Smalley, Kitil, Galla, Kaiser-Greenland, Locke, Ishijima, Kasari, 2010, Napoli, Krech, & Holley, 2005)
Research Highlights
• Over-rides the body’s physiological response to stress
• Stimulates the release of BDNF, which grows the brain (Ratey, 2008)
• Improves the cognitive control of attention
• Enhances academic performance (Hillman, CH, Pontifex, MB, Raine, LB, Castelli, DM, Hall, EE, Kramer, AF, 2009)
• Unifies and integrates mind/body experience (Journal of Cognitive and Behavioral Practice 2009)
• Organizes whole-brain function for optimal learning (Dennison and Hannaford, 1999)
• Improves executive functions (Science 2011)
• Concentrates BDNF in the hippocampus, enhances long term memory retention (Ratey, 2008)
