Does your child have learning difficulties?

Simply put, the Learning Breakthrough Program is a suite of movement “exercises” performed on very specialized, custom manufactured equipment that improves the way the brain processes information. Brain processing is what allows us to read, write, speak, remember, stay focused and perform athletically.

Balance therapy hinges on the relationship between the vestibular system (balance), the cerebellum and several other key functional areas in the brain and how, by refining the relationship between these brain centers. Learning and cognitive function can be improved at a “root” level. It is a program of balance, sensory processing and sensory integration activities designed to help better organize the way the brain processes information.

Every intentional movement you make is a direct result of communication between your brain and various parts of your body. Such psycho-motor skills are so very basic to our existence and so fundamental to how we operate in our daily environment that they are truly taken for granted. This goes a long way toward explaining why new clients, upon first hearing about the program, find it hard to associate our seemingly simple movement activities with improved learning ability.

One of the most complex structures known to man is the human brain. A good deal is known about how it functions, but not everything. One thing that is known is that “physical activity changes the brain”. Just like a piano student improves their ability to play through correct and frequent practice, cognitive and physical ability can improve from the correct and frequent performance of certain activities and exercises.

The activities and equipment that make up the Learning Breakthrough Programare the result of careful study, observations pioneered by Dr. Frank Belgau starting in the mid 1960’s. Proper and consistent performance of these activities have a positive and significant impact on the way the brain controls our ability to read, write, comprehend, remember, focus and perform physically and athletically. Improvement in these fundamental human functions has a positive impact on the way almost anyone gets along in life. People who suffer from the effects of various learning (dyslexia), attention (ADD/ADHD, Attention Deficit Disorder) and physical differences, difficulties and disorders tend to see the most dramatic changes in the shortest period of time when they use the Learning Breakthrough Program. The objective for all users is proper and consistent use for a long enough period of time so that neuropathway development and changes become permanent.
