Why Untapped Brains?

  • DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH

    There is a developmental blueprint that the brain should follow.

    Brain Reconnections acknowledges every stage of development & re-builds the brain from the bottom up to allow for proper top-down regulation of the body.

  • BACKED BY RESEARCH

    Untapped Brains takes a holistic, evidence based, neurological approach to balancing the brain.

    Research shows vast improvements in academics & behaviour when children perform specific movements that promote maturity through the nervous system.

  • INSPIRED BY CLINICAL PRACTICE

    Brain Reconnections is based on the same principles that are used to rehabilitate neural pathways in a professional setting.

    Movement & sensory programs have been clinically proven to improve development, learning, processing, behaviour & attention in children.
