BrainWorks Research
We completed our first pilot study on the effectiveness of sensory diets using BrainWorks in May 2012. Read the full report:
Parent’s Perception of Effectiveness of Sensory Diets: A Multiple Case Study Analysis
In the fall of 2014, we implemented a program involving BrainWorks, movement breaks, and other sensory strategies into general education classrooms in a school district in Texas. The results of this study were presented at AOTA’s National Conference in 2017. Read the full report:
A Model for Classroom-Based Intervention for Children with Sensory Processing Differences
We welcome further research on the use of BrainWorks! If you have a research project in mind and would like to use BrainWorks tools, please contact Gwen by email: gwen@sensationalbrain.com. Gwen is happy to donate supplies and/or training to students and professionals involved in research.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1517980131236{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1517979322785{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1517979709742{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1517980307579{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][nitro_services style=”icon” align=”center” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-mobile” icon_color=”#646464″ icon_size=”32px” icon_mgb=”0″ title_spacing=”0″ font_size=”24″ heading_mgb=”15″ services_custom_id=”nitro_custom_css_118207136″ text_color=”#646464″ content_box=”The BrainWorks app allows a child to take a sensory break by selecting activities…” extra_class=”brainwrk_sec” title_text=”BrainWorks App” setting=”.vc_custom_1517980083141{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1517980115897{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”]
