What is the Learning Breakthrough Program?
Simply put, the Learning Breakthrough Program is a suite of movement exercises performed on very specialized, custom designed equipment. The program's objective is to strengthen precursor brain processes and thereby enable higher level learning skills to flourish.
These activities can be done in a clinic setting, academic setting or in the home and are greatly aided by a DVD video that shows exactly how to perform each and every exercise. Balance therapy hinges on the relationship between the vestibular system (balance) and several other key functional areas in the brain. By refining the neuropathway relationship (integration) between these brain centers, learning and cognitive functions are improved at a "root" level. In the parlance of occupational therapists, 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. Navigating to this website, clicking buttons on a mouse, tapping information on a keyboard and reading these words is a direct result of your brain coordinating your goals and signaling your hands, fingers and eyes to act in combination with your complex cognitive objectives. Such psycho-motor skills are so very basic to our existence and so fundamental to how we operate that they are truly taken for granted. This goes a long way toward explaining why new visitors, upon first hearing about the program, find it hard to associate our seemingly simple movement activities with improved learning ability. The Learning Breakthrough Program operates on such a foundational level, that one must really look at the topic carefully so that its logic is not misconstrued or underestimated.
Studies into the topic of neuroplasticity are generating a common understanding that "physical activity changes the brain". Just like a piano student improves their ability to play through correct and frequent practice, cognitive and physical abilities can improve by consistently performing precise balance-challenging activities.
The activities and equipment that make up the Learning Breakthrough Program are the result of careful study, observations, and a trial and error development approach 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 Disorders) 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 that neuropathway development and changes become permanent.
We attempt to provide frank information so that visitors can evaluate the program and come to understand how it improves a user's quality of life. We do not make wild claims or try to elicit exaggerated hopes. We understand that many people are desperate to find help and that some treatment providers make claims that cannot be substantiated. We strive to provide honest, straightforward information so that you can make a well educated choice when it comes to learning enhancement decisions. If you have more questions or want to discuss certain aspects of the program in more detail, please contact us by email or call 1-888-853-2762 (from outside US call +262-293-2370).
