The learning breakthrough™ in action
How does the Learning Breakthrough Program™ work?
The core of the Learning Breakthrough Program™ is to improving motor skills, sensory detection, and processing that has to be enabled before any higher learning, either behaviorally or academically, can take place. The program uses balance and physical movements to integrate our auditory, visual, motor planning, tactile, balance, body positioning and neurofeedback systems in order to strengthen neurotransmission and actually calibrate the brain’s functions. These systems do not act independently, even though we sometimes describe them as if they do, but are instead layered upon one another, constantly interacting and coordinating over the same pathways to share information and execute our intentions.
The Learning Breakthrough Program’s™ specialized balance board activities can be done in a clinical, academic or home setting and are greatly aided by a follow-along DVD video that shows exactly how to perform each and every exercise.

Belgau Balance Board
The Belgau Balance Board is the most important piece in the LBP and is the cornerstone of our superior sensory integration approach. The board sits atop two rotating rockers allowing the user to increase the difficulty level. Because neural involvement increases at higher levels of balance difficulty, this unique board allows for precise adjustments and incremental increases in brain processing speeds. A grid on top of the board provides a mechanism for keeping the body centered allowing both sides of the brain to be equally involved.
These features make the Belgau Balance Board an excellent tool for addressing a variety of brain processing issues. Activities on the board improve the integration and timing of both hemispheres of the brain as well as the integration and resolution of the vestibular, visual, audiological, kinesthetic, and tactile functions.
As the brain becomes more efficient, learning problems like ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, CAPD, sequencing for mathematics, language processing, and reading are dealt with at their source.
Visual Motor Control Stick/Pendulum Ball
The VMC Stick and Pendulum Ball combine to provide a very powerful brain process organizer. The VMC Stick is designed to provide for a variety of different activities at differing levels of difficulty. Using the VMC Stick helps to develop the ability to structure space, visualize motion in space, track objects, do pre-motor planning, execution, feedback/evaluation and then executive function planning as the user anticipates the next cycle of movements. It also improves the brain’s ability to effectively process information from various senses and use that information to plan and execute motor movements effectively. The VMC Stick is held horizontally in front with both hands. Because both arms move in unison as the Pendulum Ball is struck, the VMC Stick serves to integrate both sides of the body and, consequently, both hemispheres of the brain. As this happens the timing systems between the two hemispheres of the brain become synchronized and brain processing efficiency increases. Used with the Belgau Balance Board, the VMC Stick and Pendulum Ball are highly effective sensory integration devices.Target Stand/Target Pins
The Target Stand and Target Pins are used with the Pendulum Ball. By introducing targets into the activities, the precision requirements are increased. As the precision requirements increase, the neural processes in the brain must become more resolved. The VMC Stick can also be used to add variety and effectiveness to the activities. Games that include patterns and sequences are provided which help address sequencing difficulties experienced by many people with learning problems. Like other parts of the LBP, the Target Stand and Pins improve the integration between the senses.Bean Bags
Set of three colored bean bags of different weights. The Bean Bags are an effective way of developing brain function. They are valuable in refining and extending the integration of the two brain hemispheres and of the various brain components that deal with spatial relations, timing relationships, visual processes, movement, gross and fine motor skills development and balance. Activities involving Bean Bags require the user to process information from the tactile, motor, vestibular and visual processing systems. Because many of the activities use sequences or patterns, Bean Bags, used in conjuction with the Belgau Balance Board, can be helpful in resolving the sequencing difficulties that are evident in a variety of brain processing disorders like ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. The Bean Bags can be used alone or with a partner.Super Ball Toss Back
The Toss Back Board is 16”x16” and has a numbered grid with nine squares on the top. It sits at an angle to the floor providing a surface suitable for returning a ball that is tossed to it. Throwing, catching, and controlling the motion of either one or two super balls while standing on the Belgau Balance Board stimulates the development and enhances the function of brain processes. Maximum brain performance depends on precise inputs through the vestibular, tactile, motor, auditory, and visual systems. Activities with the Toss Back stimulate the integration of these senses vertically, from the brain stem to the cortex, and horizontally, from one hemisphere to the other. This device addresses a variety of brain processing issues by engaging the user in a series of activities that improve brain timing, sequencing, proprioceptive control and body synchronization.Pendulum Ball
The Pendulum Ball is used to stimulate the timing between the two hemispheres of the brain. The ball can be adjusted to different heights allowing the period of the swing to be adjusted. Because the period of the swing is constant at any given length, activities using the Pendulum Ball aid the brain in sensing, developing and refining the sense of timing. Controlling the motion of the ball requires the user to make mental plans, execute those plans, collect feedback and then process the results. When the ability to execute the movement matches the plan devised in the brain, the brain processes employed in conceiving the plan are validated. When the execution of the movement does not match the planned result, the brain engages in a recalibration process that serves as a basis for improving the neural efficiency of the process. Because the ball moves relative to the force applied, it is a valuable feedback device for developing brain structures that process visual space and the motor control of objects in visual space. By incorporating the Belgau Balance Board with the Pendulum Ball, integration between the two hemispheres of the brain as well as the tactile, visual, vestibular and motor systems is achieved.

“Not only does it work, but it STICKS” says mother of 13-year old
I can’t tell you how much the Learning Breakthrough helped our son! I had him perform it daily for a year when he was 9. Now he’s 13, LOVES to read, and reads above his grade level. So not only does it work, but it STICKS. I KNOW that this program is beneficial, legitimate, and worth every penny it cost us.

Son with ADHD and mild Autism sees improvements – eliminates medication
My husband ordered the Learning Breakthrough kit for our son about two and a half years ago. He is ten now. I checked it out on the net after I heard about the Dore program, which was not practical for us as we live in Nigeria and couldn’t travel for consultations every two months. My son had developmental speech delay with ADHD and some mild features of autism spectrum and also learning difficulties in school.
The first week we spent practicing standing on the board and following the bean bag with his eyes. At the end of that week the SEN teacher from school called me to say my son could now remember his letters! I continued working with him and after a month could not cope with doing the sessions twice a day as it could be very frustrating for both of us. I am not the most patient of mothers and would end up yelling at my poor son, who used to try very hard. He found following the bean bag with his eyes very difficult but he loved the super toss balls and became a champion pendulum hitter. We did them once a day for a year. He came off Ritalin after about ten months and started tailoring off the anticonvulsants about 3 months later. He can now read, although about still 1 year below his age level, though meets his SEN targets. He does well in math and is well behaved in a mainstream school. His whole life has been changed for the better. In his last report his teacher said he has a good attitude to learning and was a pleasure to have in class and got on well with his classmates. No more fighting, yelling or walking around at the wrong time. His speech and comprehension are improving every day. In fact, in June he asked if he could do the program again and we did it for 12 weeks.
So, I am so grateful for the program. I just thank Almighty God for the positive difference in our lives and I hope if we can do it for 3 months every year, we will see even more improvement. He is still making benefits from it.
Thank you and God bless you for the program.

Grandfather shares many improvements in reading, writing, behavior and more
My wife and I are cautiously optimistic about what we are seeing. For example, on the third day of the 3rd week she did a very long homework session (45 minutes) on MCAS testing prep. Reading and writing open ended paragraphs. There were zero complaints and no whining with very neat handwriting. This was perhaps the first time we have experienced such a session. Two days before that, she independently asked her teacher for an extra math packet to work on over the weekend. We have never seen that before. Her daily demeanor has improved. There is less contentiousness and more calmness. Not perfect by a long shot, but the balance between the two has improved. She reads aloud daily to us for 15 minutes. Now she does this better and with no arguments or fights. But the most incredible event of all was when 30 or so minutes after we had a big fight and argument over her behavior she came to me, put her head on my shoulder and said “I am sorry for the way I behaved.” That had NEVER, EVER happened before. I have not told any of her teachers about the program but I did send an email yesterday to one of them asking how she is doing.
If this progress keeps coming I think we will have worked a miracle.

Psychologist’s son (8) sees improvements in motor skills, athletics, reading, comprehension and grades
My son was 8 years old when he started the Learning Breakthrough Program. His fine and gross motor skills were very weak. He had problems with reading and listening comprehension. He could not bounce the ball or ride a bike. His handwriting was a disaster despite of having occupational therapy twice a week for 3 years already. In May he started this fantastic program. He looked forward to doing different activities every day. Even though he had to do it twice a day, he thought it was fun. In September a new school year started. My son’s handwriting was perfect. His teacher said that she couldn’t believe that he has such a beautiful handwriting. And of course, she asked me what did we do during the summer. I told her about Learning Breakthrough Program.
Very soon another surprise came. My son asked his daddy to teach him to ride a bike without training wheels. We were so happy that he felt confident to try to learn. He had a beautiful new bike sitting in our house for 2 years. Whenever we wanted to teach him, he would say, “No, no, I don’t want I can’t do it.” They went outside, my son sat on a bike and just started riding without any assistance. My husband couldn’t believe his eyes. At the end of the school, his occupational therapist told me that he doesn’t need occupational therapy anymore. I talked to her about Learning Breakthrough Program all the time and she saw big improvement in my son, so she ordered it. Since that her students are improving their skills thanks to this great program. Also, my son’s reading comprehension has greatly improved. All his grades went up. He is 13 years old now and he still does this program before important tests. I recommend this program from the bottom of my heart.
