Definition of Brain Gym
Definition

Brain Gym includes 26 targeted activities that integrate body and mind to bring about improvements in areas such as concentration, memory, reading, listening and physical coordination.

Brain Gym began in the 1970s with the work of educators Dr. Paul Dennison and Gail E. Dennison. Originally, the Dennisons were seeking more effective ways to help children and adults who had been identified as 'learning disabled.'

The Dennisons produced a new approach to learning: the Brain Gym activities, and the field known as Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K).
