Brain Builder
If exercising your muscles can create stronger, more
efficient muscles, can exercising your brain provide you with a better ability
to process information? The
designers of Brain Builder have created a software that allows you to exercise
your brain, that should result in better sequential processing.
By using this software for as little as 10 minutes per day, children and
adults alike can begin to see improvement in areas of short term memory,
attention and concentration, listening, reading and self expression.
In addition, it can reduce confusion and enhance social interactions.
This software has been designed based on methods used by
the National Academy for Child Development over the past 20 years.
