Balametrics - Importance of the Learning Breakthrough Program The Learning Breakthrough Program, also called Balametrics, makes a difference. The program is designed to stimulate and develop the brain processes that make it easy to pay attention, to remember, to read, to write, to spell, to think mathematically, and to listen and see efficiently. Efficient learning depends on the focusing, integration, coordination and sequencing of many different parts of the brain which result from the use of this program. The foundation of the Learning Breakthrough Program is a unique balance stimulation device, The Belgau Balance Board. The grid on top of the board makes it possible to align your feet and body with the Board's center of balance. This in turn precisely centers and aligns your body and brain with the gravitational vertical. The balance difficulty level of the board is calibrated and can be changed and incrementally set over a very wide range of difficulty levels. The other items associated with the board provide a great variety of high level, cortically stimulating, visual and motor coordinated activities. When done on the Balance Board these activities involve and coordinate every major brain system. Value of the Learning Breakthrough Program: 1. The Learning Breakthrough Program develops and refines the basic brain organizations that the foundation of all learning. 2. The Learning Breakthrough Program improves reading, vision, coordination, learning ability and learning efficiency. 3. Individuals using the Learning Breakthrough Program think, spell, read, write, do mathematical calculations, understand and remember history, and appreciate the great contributions of science faster and with much less stress. As Good Shepherd's resource teacher, I have incorporated the balance board into my curriculum. The students love doing the activities on the balance board. They think it's a lot of fun! Please stop by sometime and I will demonstrate the use of the board. For more information, visit http:\\www.balametrics.com.
