Move to Learn

Move to Learn  Science has now shown that the development and integration of our brains from birth depends on movement. Movement actually stimulates the brain to grow by promoting the laying down and coordination of neural pathways. Any developmental stage that has been missed, for example crawling, results in an underdevelopment of specific neural pathways with diverse consequences in later life. Educational experts are now teaching reparative exercises to overcome such deficits with great results.

To find out more about this approach to learning difficulties see Barbara Pheloungs website  www.movetolearn.com.au  This resourse includes an online assessment for learning difficulties and information about many resources available.

Another very useful contributer in the field is Brendan O'Hara and his wife Gail. There website is www.movementandlearning.com.au   Brendan is an international teacher in the filed of movement and learning. He brings an extensive understanding of reflexes, kinesiology, and sound and music therapy to his teaching. He has produced CD's designed to have specific effects on brain function as well as other helpful developmental tools: helpful and lots of fun for kids. For more information see his site.
