The Raviv Learning Method©
Developed by Mrs. Nili Raviv this method is based on a regime of repetitive physical exercises that improve reading, writing and concentration skills.
The Raviv method employs relaxation techniques Yoga-based practices and various physical exercises that center on a specific pattern of walking.
According to the Raviv theory, the method improves coordination and synchronization of neural systems in the brain. Similar to DORE, the Raviv treatment program is also individually designed.
A complete treatment program requires between twenty and twenty-four guided sessions within a period of four to six months including daily physical exercises.
Brain Gym®
Brain Gym® was initially developed in the 1980s by educators Paul and Gail Dennison. Paul Dennison is also the developer of the Edu – kinesthetic (Edu-K) approach and is a pioneer in the field of applied brain research.
Brain Gym® is an educational program, based on four fundamentals: Free choice of a goal, Visualization and simulation and Physical exercise.
These fundamentals are implemented in a procedure termed 'Balance'. During Balance, the trainee focuses on a chosen goal and visualizes it while performing selected Brain Gym® physical movements.
The last and most important step of the balancing process is the re-simulation process where improvement in the desired performance is recognized. The improved mental and physical sensation is then imprinted into what is termed as the 'mind-body' system. Consequently, elucidation of the mechanism of the Brain Gym® Balance requires an explanation for the functional importance of coupling visualization to physical Brain Gym® exercises.
