What Is Braincalm

  • A set of daily specific physical exercises that calm & organise the brain (The Braincalm Intensive Programme)
  • Ways to help the child in school & accommodations to make the day easier for the child
  • Changes at home so the child is calm & can self regulate outside of school

Braincalm™ is a simple, easy to follow but new system that helps children with Something Going On (S.G.O.) become calm, in control of their emotions and behaviours and more focused.

Helping these children is a 24 hour a day process.

What happens at home affects school and what happens in school affects home.

The Braincalm™ team have developed customised training for

Parents/Guardians
School Staff
Childminders & Others

In other words, everyone who cares for the child through the day.

We guide you through using the simple step by step Braincalm™ system.

Step 1 – The Braincalm™ Intensive Program

This gives quick relief to the ‘fizzy brain’ & teaches the child what it feels like to be regulated. The Braincalm™ Intensive Programme is

  • Specific physical exercises
  • Completed in a specific order
  • Each exercise is completed for a specific length of time
  • The Braincalm™ Intensive program is completed 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week

Those who may be trained to complete it with children are:

a. Classroom Assistant
b. Resource Teacher
c. Parent/Guardian at home

*** Results have shown that a child responds best when the Braincalm™ Intensive Program is
completed in school with school staff in groups of 3, 2 or one to one.
