brain gym
n.— «Every child is different and it’s all about the holistic therapy approach. For example the daily routine for a child might be to attend the sensory room where they can have all of their sensory needs met before they begin a classroom session. 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.
