Optimal Brain Organisation
Optimal Brain Organisation developed by Dr. Paul Dennison, is a fascinating and invaluable extension of the Brain Gym course. It explains why these activities work, and shows how they help brain integration.
It is an important tool as it provides essential clues about a learner’s preference. It helps understand and anticipate the difficulties and allows the teachers to maximise potential.
Every one has his or her own unique pattern of brain organization (dominance) and potential integration. Recognizing those activities that promote whole-brain functioning is essential for physical, emotional and spiritual well being. Besides learning how to facilitate balances for others, participants also learn to identify their own gifts and strengths and to overcome compensatory patterns of functioning
The Optimal Brain Organization is invaluable to educators and children alike, as it indicates sensory and brain preferences and their implication for such activities as:
- Mathematics
- Writing
- Reading
- Memory Access
- Motivation
- Talking on the phone
- Relating to people
- Sports performance
It is one of the modules comprising Step 2 of the Educational Kinesiology and Brain Gym Professional training Programme.On this course, you will learn to assess a Brain Organisation Profile, interpret and discover your brain function potential, become aware of how your brain responds to challenges and explore your sensory and brain preferences for your daily life activities, hobbies, etc.
you will be introduce to the concept of hemispheric specialisation and its relationship to laterality, Centring and Focus (the three dimension from Brain Gym) and how to identify learning strategies and balancing to facilitate whole-brain, multi-sensory learning.
The Brain Organization Profile provides a new understanding and appreciation of your own (and your child’s) uniqueness and the special ways you function in this world. It also demonstrates how learners change for better or worse under stress, to cope with the challenges in life.
The Edu-K processes you will learn in this course offer the opportunity to access all sensory channels in order to make use of all modalities, bringing positive, healthy, and integrated resources to new learning situations.
