Focus System

The Focus System is a program for improving brain and body function. The activities are fun and can easily be customized for all ages and skill levels. The combined elements of a Focus Program – music and movement – begin with building the foundational supports for body organization. As the body becomes organized, so does the brain. With increased organization the brain is able to process information from our environment, sustain attention and learn. By addressing brain function at this foundational level, we are better able to become more mentally and emotionally resilient, more effective at school or work and potentially more socially adept. 

For example:

• Dynamic balance, proprioceptive abilities improve – a child finally learns to ride a bicycle 

• Faster processing speed – student pays attention and catches on more quickly 

• Eyes and ears are working together – third grader is now reading at grade level 

• Gross and fine motor systems are integrated – handwriting improves 

• Emotions are controlled – no detention, more friends at school 

• Stronger working memory – better at math and reading comprehension 

• Sustained attention – no longer distracting others and less impulsive
