Private Coaching for Youth
Brain Fitness Strategies provides the fun and easy method to help your child overcome their challenges. Kids of all ages—from 4 months to age 19—enjoy the movements and are eager to do them daily.
Cerebral Palsy
It is important to start doing Rhythmic Movement as early as possible once cerebral palsy has been identified. With daily exercises, most infants can completely overcome cerebral palsy within a year or so. Children under the age of 12 who have some form of speech can greatly improve their enunciation and ability to communicate within a few months of doing daily movements. In fact, they often see noticeable results in just two weeks. Kids have been able to gain control over their bodies by doing passive and active RMT on a daily basis. It is amazing how quickly their brains begin sending the correct signal, allowing them to progress through raising their own heads, crawling, standing, and walking.
Attention Deficit Disorder
Rhythmic Movement has a great track record for helping kids overcome ADD, with or without hyperactivity, in just a few months. If that is their only challenge, they have been known to be symptom free in just 90 days. If there are other issues involved, such as dyslexia, lack of coordination, lack of rhythm while in a prone position (laying down), and other developmental disorders, it may take a year or longer of doing the movements for just 15 minutes a day.
Dyslexia
Paul Phariss, one of the Brain Fitness Strategies coaches, overcame dyslexia himself at the age of 54—through the use of Rhythmic Movement Training. RMT is extremely successful in helping the brain reorganize so that it can control the eyes better, giving your child the ability to combine the images from both eyes into one, cohesive image. Many children with dyslexia have double vision, phorias (one eye strays, often called “lazy eye”), and/or poor saccadic eye movements (the eye doesn’t track smoothly). Rhythmic Movement fills in the developmental gaps that cause these issues and allows control of the eye muscles necessary for reading at a close distance.
Autism and Aspergers
Parents of children with autism or Aspergers are continuously looking for effective tools for dealing with their child’s symptoms, and Brain Fitness Strategies can help. Dr. Harald Blomberg, the Swedish psychiatrist who developed Rhythmic Movement Training, has 25 years of experience helping children overcome autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Blomberg has found that these children are lacking the neural net that connects the limbic system (the emotions) with the prefrontal cortex (the thinking and judgment part of the brain). By doing the RMT exercises 15 minutes a day for a year or more, the neural pathways can develop and the child may begin to have better social interaction, better communication, and less need for rituals and rigid routines.
Other Developmental Disorders
Brain Fitness Strategies helps kids of all ages and disabilities gain better brain function. We do this by building the neural pathways that allow the brain to receive and process sensory information in a smooth, efficient way. By identifying the gaps in brain development, an individualized program of movements is given to you and your child to do at home in just 15 minutes a day.
