NeuroNet In The Silverdale Classroom

What if we could increase in our ability to learn a new language, or improve our reading and math ability, easily learn to play a new instrument or athletically improve in timing and accuracy all by practicing a simple set of exercises? Well, SBA has introduced a new program in our K-3^rd grade classes that will do just that. Our teachers have begun doing exercises with the students, taken from a comprehensive learning enrichment program called NeuroNet, that is based on 30 years of neuroscience research and clinical practice that helps students learn faster and remember more of what they learn.

NeuroNet actually helps to train the brain to process what it hears, sees, and feels faster and more precisely. Research has shown that how we improve what we learn is to speed up how fast we can access what we already know. The way to speed up that access is by strengthening the brain’s neural networks and training the different areas of the brain to work together. The vestibular (balance) system is the key to this training because it works as the brain’s timekeeper.

NeuroNet looks at auditory and vestibular behaviors and how these behaviors affect a child’s ability to learn basic skills. Not only does the program help a child’s attention, coordination and problem solving, some of the greatest benefits of NeuroNet are increasing self-confidence and focus, stabilizing behavior and improving a child’s sense of well-being.

Our teachers lead the students in strategic NeuroNet exercises each morning. SBA has been using NeuroNet since it first began in our specialized academics program.  Teresa Bruns, a Pediatric Occupational therapist with over 25 years experience, oversees the program.  The results have been so significant that we have introduced it in our lower grade levels.
