Academics, such as reading, writing, and math require that the building blocks of learning (the physical, sensory, and cognitive skills) need to be solidly mastered so that a child can learn with ease. Such physical, sensory, and cognitive skills include memory, attention, processing speed, eye tracking, fine motor skills for holding a pencil, balance, and crossing the midline, just to name a few. When these physical, sensory, and cognitive skills are weak, academic learning can be a struggle or even downright challenging.

 

However, current brain research shows that

you can change your brain at any age!

 

This is what our goal is at Smart Moves Learning Solutions: to build upon your child’s strengths through a unique combination of physical exercises, and cognitive activities that help form new neural pathways and strengthen the connections in the brain to make learning at school easier.

 

New learning through specific movements, and sensory stimulation can fill in the gaps in learning by strengthening the physical, sensory, and cognitive skills. This is what Smart Moves Learning Solutions refers to as Brain Retraining. Brain Retraining affects areas in the brain that help your child become more successful in daily life. As well, Brain Retraining helps to set up their executive functioning skills to control their impulses, attend to what is important, and understand what is happening around them. Benefits include improvements in social interactions, relationships, emotional regulation, memory, and concentration. As as result, positive changes can be felt in all areas of life!
