Brain Agility Programs | Programs to improve attention and focus, children, bayside, therapy

Programs Brain Agility provides brain and movement exercise programs designed to improve brain and body connections, improve learning, attention and coordination.

Brain Agility Programs | Retained Primitive Reflexes, children, bayside, therapy

I offer an initial free assessment, followed by a tailored program to suit each participant’s needs. I then develop a neurological exercise program that works on strengthening brain pathways to promote optimum brain-wide communication.  As participants progress, more complex activities are built into their program.

During my training, I learned about movement patterns and reflexes that give clues to neurological immaturity. This neurological immaturity can be a factor in causing learning difficulties and we aim to address this via targeted exercises, or brain training with Interactive Metronome®.

Neuroplasticity (brainplasticity) is where we create new neural pathways, this occurs throughout our life, at all ages.

Benefits of Brain Agility programs:

  • Enhanced learning
  • Improved focus and attention
  • Better reading and comprehension
  • Faster brain processing skills
  • Coordinated and competent body movements
  • Elevated athletic performance
  • Refined sensory processing
  • Increased positive self-esteem
  • Confidence and resilience

Our programs are practised from the comfort of your home, saving time and money going to and from specialist appointments.

Interactive Metronome® Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based computer training resource proven to improve cognition, focus, attention, memory, executive function, reading and comprehension.

Interactive Metronome Australia, children, bayside, therapy

IM is highly effective at training and improving a person’s attention and focus. Through the use of IM, children can enhance their concentration skills and ability to close off distractions. The results create awareness and skill around better timing, leading to improved focus, coordination, planning, and processing speed.

Interactive Metronome® is a worldwide, proven resource to support children with:

IM is particularly helpful for improving auditory processing as the program encourages the child to listen, then respond to an auditory signal through movement. This activates and trains the auditory pathways of brain and can help it to become stronger and more effective.

‘IM trains the brain to plan, sequence, and process information more effectively…improves synchronisation of the neural networks in the brain, to increase the brain’s efficiency and performance.’

Some children experience reading difficulties due to slower visual brain processing because of the time it takes to process information from the brain to the eyes to the ears. Furthermore, words and pictures can get lost in the process as other messages are received.

IM is fantastic for improving brain processing speed and helping children to read!

Neuro Developmental Movement Program I provide exercises to assist the development of bilateral integration and body awareness that improves communication and integration across the left and right sides of the brain.

Infant development requires they develop their motor movements in a natural sequence, which then build on each other step by step (e.g., rolling, sitting to crawling). These movements develop key communication pathways in the brain and integrate infant reflexes.

Our ability to move, see and balance, relies on these automated processes within our brains. But if our reflexes are not fully integrated then this interferes with the effortless activities that many of us take for granted and can reduce a persons ability and capacity to experience a whole range of actions and activities.

Brain Agility | Rhythmic movement therapy, children, bayside, therapy

By working on key motor movements and integrating reflexes we build stronger brain pathways. We look at the bilateral integration of the brain, this is when both sides of the brain are working effectively, at the same time and in a controlled way. We provide movement exercises to build right and left brain communication.

Neuro Developmental Movement programs can be challenging for some parents to understand as their child may confidently walk and throw a ball. Yet, if we look into fundamental movements such as commando crawling, we may find it is underdeveloped, reducing cross brain communication and we may need to work on these abilities before your child progresses.

When the bilateral integration is improved, the brain is working in sync, a child finds it easier to sit still, read and filter out distractions.

I provide the information, demonstration and regular support that allows you to engage your child in my learning program.

Retained Reflex Integration Retained reflexes are often the missing link in learning, attention, vision and movement challenges.

Brain Agility | retained reflex integration exercises, children, bayside, therapy

The use of our reflexes sits in our brain stem, the fundamental pathway connecting our brain to all other parts and functions of the body.  As a baby develops, the movement patterns it makes integrates the reflexes in the brain. If these were unable to integrate effectively during early development, this can interfere with ongoing learning and brain performance.

One such reflex is called asymmetrical tonic neck reflex (ATNR), which affects muscles and one-sided movements and hand and eye coordination. If this reflex doesn’t integrate properly, it can be linked to coordination difficulties as a child gets older and reading difficulties.

Reflexes also support the development of the neuro sensory motor system. My programs are designed to identify these reflexes that need assistance and create a tailored program that help re-train the reflexes to improve quality of life.

The good news is we can do this at any age and any time!

Retained reflexes can play havoc with vision and eye tracking. Through a series of movement tests, we can identify if any infant reflexes have not fully integrated.

Our movement sessions train these reflexes to reunite through specific movement exercises.
