Brain Connections: Second Chapter

Strengthening Memory. Supporting Movement. Staying Connected.

​​​

 

Your brain is always worth investing in.

Brain Connections: Second Chapter is designed for older adults who want to stay mentally active, socially connected, and engaged in learning.

Sessions combine cognitive activities, memory exercises, processing and attention challenges, language and reasoning activities, and appropriate movement-based exercises.

Activities are designed to challenge the brain while keeping learning enjoyable, encouraging participants to use strategies, stay engaged, and practice skills that support everyday life.

 

Activities can include:

• Short-term memory

• Working memory

• Long-term memory retrieval

• Processing speed

• Attention

• Word retrieval

• Vocabulary

• Reasoning

• Sequencing

• Problem solving

• Visual perception

• Movement/reflex activities

• Social interaction

• Conversation

 

As we grow older, many of us begin to experience memory loss and our processing speed begins to slow down.  This does not have to be accepted as a normal part of life.  There are simple activities that can be added to your daily routine which will strengthen the neural pathways of the brain.   We can work together in order to improve your memory, processing speed, in order to maintain your Brain Connections.  

 

Because of the plasticity of the brain we are able to improve function at every season of life. We can continue to function well socially, recall important details, and increase our processing speed at any age.  

 

We use many non-threatening, fun activities to accomplish this.  We combine elements from "Equipping Minds," "Primitive Reflexes," principles from "Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment mediation" and "Sound Therapy International."
