Learning BreakthroughImproving Learning Skills for over 30 years! The long established and highly successful Breakthrough Programme. This package has a history of research, development and application stretching over a period of thirty plus years. The programme is based around the use of un ique apparatus that provides maximum sensory stimulation. Over the course of 30-48 weeks, the child (7+) or adult performs a series of structured physical exercises. These exercises are designed to stimulate the sensory system and encourage the development of the internal structures that are so important with regards to the natural acquisition and consolidation of new skills and knowledge. Performing the exercises twice daily (approx 15 min. per session) gives the ideal level of repetition and reinforcement that helps to cement the positive changes in place.With a price of only £400 (including all duties/taxes & postage), this really is one of the most cost effective programmes available anywhere. Your programme comes complete with all the necessary equipment, a comprehensive instruction manual and a DVD/VHS on which every exercise is demonstrated in full. What's more, unlimited email support for up to 12 months is also included. This really is the ultimate in home-use packages. Please see the description of the equipment used and an explanation of how it impacts upon performance. Balance Board The Balance Board is the most important piece and is the cornerstone of this sensory integration programme. The board sits atop two rotating rockers allowing the user to increase the difficulty level. Because neural involvement increases at higher levels of difficulty, the balance board increases brain processing speed and efficiency. A grid on the top of the board provides a mechanism for keeping the body centered allowing both sides of the brain to be equally involved. These features make the Balance Board an excellent tool for addressing a variety of brain processing issues. Activities on the board improve the integration and timing of both hemispheres of the brain, as well as the integration and resolution of the vestibular, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile senses. As the brain becomes more efficient as a result of activities on the Balance Board, brain processing based learning problems like ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, auditory processing difficulty, and poor reading are dealt with at their source. ![]() Visual Motor Control Stick/Pendulum Ball The VMC Stick and Pendulum Ball combine to provide a very powerful brain process organizer. The VMC Stick is designed to provide for a variety of different activities at differing levels of difficulty. Using the VMC Stick helps to develop the ability to structure space, visualize motion in space, and track objects. It also improves the brain’s ability to effectively process information from various senses and use that information to plan and execute motor movements effectively. The VMC Stick is held horizontally in front with both hands. Because both arms move in unison as the Pendulum Ball is struck, the VMC Stick serves to integrate both sides of the body and, consequently, both hemispheres of the brain. As this happens the timing systems between the two hemispheres of the brain become synchronized and brain processing efficiency increases. Used with the Balance Board, the VMC Stick and Pendulum Ball are powerfull and effective sensory integration devices. Target Stand/Target Pins ![]() The Target Stand and Target Pins are used with the Pendulum Ball. By introducing targets into the activities, the precision requirements are increased. As the precision level requirement of an activity increases, the neural processes in the brain must become more resolved. The VMC Stick can also be used to add variety and effectiveness to the activities. Games that include patterns and sequences are provided which help to address the sequencing difficulties experienced by many people with learning problems. Using the Target Stand and Pins with the Pendulum Ball and the Balance Board improves sensory integration. Super Ball Toss Back ![]() The Toss Back is 16"x16" and has a numbered grid with 9 squares on the top. It sits at an angle to the floor to provide a surface suitable for returning a ball that is tossed to it. Throwing, catching, and controlling the motion of either one or two super balls while standing on the Balance Board stimulates the development and enhances the function of brain processes. Maximum brain performance depends on precise inputs through the vestibular, tactile, motor, auditory, and visual systems. Activities with the Toss Back stimulate the integration of these senses vertically, from the brain stem to the cortex, and horizontally, from one hemisphere to the other. This device allows the user to address a variety of brain processing issues by engaging the individual in a series of activities that improve brain timing, sequencing, and body synchronization. Bean Bags Set of three colored bean bags of different weights. The Bean Bags are an effective way of developing brain function. They are valuable in refining and extending the integration of the two brain hemispheres and of the various brain components that deal with spatial relations, timing relationships, visual processes, movement, and balance. Activities involving Bean Bags require the user to process information from the tactile, motor, vestibular and visual processing systems. Because many of the activities use sequences or patterns, Bean Bags, used in conjuction with the Balance Board, can be helpful in resolving the sequencing difficulties that are evident in a variety of brain processing disorders like ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. The Bean Bags can be used alone or with a partner. Why not take the first important step and order your programme today The Kit is delivered from the USA so please allow 28 days for delivery.
