The Braincalm Intensive Program™ is a well researched program of occupational therapy exercises where a child is taken out of the classroom for 15-20 minutes a day and brought through these exercises for a specific length of time and in a specific order.
It has been developed and piloted by Brenda Cassidy, occupational therapist and based on sensory integration occupational therapy exercises originally researched and developed during the 1970s by Jean Ayres and in recent years by Jane Horwood.
