CurrentBrain Jogging is a web-based, multisensory (seeing, speaking, hearing) program to help children with learning challenges. The two areas where most children struggle are brain processing speed and working memory. Brain Jogging strengthens these areas with exercises that are customized to the child and result in academic, social, and behavioral improvement. The program has been awarded two US Patents including US 791211 "Method of Treating Autism Using Brainjogging System" and US 7367807 "Method for Improving Word Processing Skills Using Visual Flash Stimuli"The Brainjogging methodologies were first developed in the 1980's as a new theory and practice for children with learning disabilities after a visit to Yerkee's Primary Center! There, Dr. Sue Savage Rumbaugh utilized computer technology to facilitate language in a Bonobo named Kanzi. Based on these findings, Shirley Pennebaker, M.Ed developed a theory for cognitive processing enhancement to use with children with severe learning disabilities. She began employing the theory and developed Brainjogging, a patented software program utilized to assist individuals in overcoming their learning difficulties. Students utilize this program in their schools and at home. Before it became web-based, students would travel from locations all over the U.S., and several foreign countries as far away as New Zealand, to experience the incredible change that comes from using the Brain Jogging application.
