🌟Fact!

At Situla, we believe that happy children make the best learners. That is why mental well-being is at the top of our priority list.

Let children play outdoors often, where the natural landscape both inspires and challenges the senses and muscles. ☺️

Did you know that you can change your brain?

Let's say you process information really slowly, you over react to sensory stimulation like touch or you struggle to read, you have the power to change your brain's processing speed, sensory regulation or reading capabilities (to name a few).

Neuroplasticity is what we build our success on when we do any type of therapy, whether it's classic occupational therapy, Interactive metronome, Tomatis or ReadLS. The most important thing is HIGH INTENSITY and HIGH FREQUENCY. That is how we can make permanent changes in the brain.

I've had a few clients who have completed the programme during the course of the year and we have seen that their reading improved in speed and accuracy.

I asked a Grade 2 boy if he could explain to me what is easier to him. He looks at me confused... "Reading is easier to me"?!😂
