Building Brain Bridges
Blair Poole will present an interactive program for students & parents showing what is needed to perform at their instinctive capability level. The foundation for all learning is sensory motor development. With good sensory & motor skills, a child is able to perform, think, & learn better in school no matter what the IQ or environment. Some children never reach the level that they instinctively know they can. Ms. Blair will show how to reach that potential no matter what the present capability level.
