A neurodevelopmental approach to any activity looks at development and the way the brain processes information. Emerging research now points to the importance of an integrated approach to learning†.
Integrated Studies combine curriculum from two or more disciplines, allowing a learner to see how ideas are connected. Teaching in such a contextual manner promotes collaboration, critical thinking and knowledge retention‡.
Included in this approach is the importance of multiple sensory input. The greater the number of senses engaged, the greater the impact on the neurological system which increases the likelihood the learner will retain information*.
The Neurodevelopmental Drawing Series™ provides this type of stimulation and mental rehearsal program needed to strengthen existing, and encourage new, neural pathways in the brain.
Research now shows that learning by doing, such as drawing, increases reading potential.¥
