What is NeuroClics?
What is Physio-Neuro Therapy? NeuroClics is a research-based, multisensory program designed to target core behaviors and skills to correct learning
struggles through Physio-Neuro Therapy. Physio-Neuro Therapy is a unique type of therapy that combines physical and mental exercises to improve one’s processing abilities, ultimately changing the person’s basic ability to learn. This program was founded with the help of a team of specialists from
a variety of disciplines. N eurologists, psychologists, educators, pediatricians, sociologists, and psychiatrists came together to answer the question:
Why do some bright people struggle in school while others do not?
They discovered that the two basic components that contribute to one’s ability to learn are the accuracy and speed of the information entering the
brain and how the brain perceives this information to generate appropriate responses. Consequently, learning must take place in the mind of a student. Therefore, even good teachers have little effect on students who do not know how to learn. If your perceptual skills are not providing your mind with good data, the material being taught will not be perceived correctly.
What does Physio-Neuro Therapy look like?
Students are relieved when they realize Physio-Neuro Therapy (PNT) looks nothing like traditional school work. Although PNT includes exercises
involving spelling, writing, and reading, it uses an entirely unique approach which strengthens the underlying processes one needs to become a successful student. PNT cognitive exercises are multisensory, engaging many specific mental skills simultaneously. The exercises are arranged in a step-by-step pattern. As the student moves through the various levels of mastery, PNT boosts their innate learning abilities and strengthens self-confidence. Physio-Neuro Therapy also works to improve attitudes and behavior through the use of life management concepts. PNT life management concepts teach students how to articulate their needs, successfully navigate their world, and overcome the potential barriers to their success.
Who can benefit from Physio-Neuro Therapy?
Physio-Neuro Therapy can help treat a variety of learning difficulties including Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, Dyscalculia
(difficulties with math), Dysgraphia (difficulties with writing), Auditory/ and or Visual Processing Disorders, and more. The students assisted by PNT are usually not slow or unintelligent. Most are very bright and capable people. Some are young students struggling in school. Some cannot read at all. Some are adults who want to do better at work and some are even “A” and “B” students. They all know they are working too hard to learn. We can change that.
How does Physio-Neuro Therapy work?
The brain is like a muscle. When you need to strengthen a muscle, you must complete exercises that require the muscle to work harder than it has in the past. As the muscle works harder, strain occurs. The body’s natural response to this stress is to develop tissue that will accommodate the strain, making it possible for the muscle to do things that it previously could not do. Our brain develops similarly. Physio-Neuro Therapy retrains the brain to process information using more efficient pathways to make learning easier and faster. As the brain continues
to develop, old neural pathways are replaced with new efficient pathways. This improves the way that a student takes in, processes, stores, and retrieves information, enabling the student to learn more effectively. Like a muscle, with proper training, the brain can learn to perform tasks that were previously not possible.
How will NeuroClics help my child?
NeuroClics differs from other learning programs because it focuses on the underlying causes of a student’s struggles. NeuroClics views difficulties
such as ADD/ADHD and poor reading, etc, as symptoms of weak processing skills. By determining which brain processes are weak and working to
strengthen them, the student is able to begin using more efficient processing, causing these symptoms to disappear and learning to become easier. The goal is to eliminate the need for continued tutoring and educational support. Changing how the brain perceives and processes information effects attitude, thinking, physical movement, and LEARNING. No amount of teaching will help if a student does not have the ability to
efficiently turn it into learning. If we first address the processing problem then teaching can easily turn into learning, helping students feel confident and empowered.◆
