brain gym
n.— «Every child is different and it’s all about the holistic therapy approach.

The sensory room activities might include massage or brain gym in order relax the child and make him/her more open to learning.» —“County’s first ABA school for autistic children opens in Strokestown” by Mairead O’Shea Roscommon Herald (Boyle, Co.
