Brainfit Studio - Discussion

[GabyEn]

Hi


What I understand from Brainfit Studio is that they are opening an English Language School incorporating brain training at Marine Parade. There’s 2-3 more similar centers opening in the next few months I think.

Sounds interesting as they have developed an English Language curriculum based on MOE syllabus and also incorporating brain training component.

BTW, this morning I attended a coffee morning talk at BrainFit Studio on brain training for seniors. Went with my mom!


They are introducing a 15 weeks program starting in July for seniors.

kodomo:

Is BrainFit School same as BrainFit Studio mentioned here? got a mailer they are opening a new branch in the East

Yes, received the mailer too. I think it's the same. Only thing is that classroom does English from what i understand?

Hi

Am not sure of their other programs @ BF (Brainfit), as my son is currently doing the SMART Listening, which is computer based. I believe most the programs are computer based. As a child progresses, he will move up different levels. As I understand, different computer programs will target different parts of the brain.


Cheers

Hi GabyEn,

What kinds of computer-based activities did your son do, care to share? Are they like Interactive Metronome ( http://www.interactivemetronome.com/IMPublic/Home.aspx ), Sound Therapy or Lumosity ( http://www.lumosity.com )?

Hi GabyEn,


I sent my boy for assessment, and very tempted to sign up. However, my boy has a disorder and not too sure if the program will help.

How soon did you see a result in your boy? If I interpret correctly, it seems very short for your case, like you signed your boy up in Sep '10 and he showed great improvement in SA2 result. Was that a very intensive program he went through? Thanks for sharing.

[GabyEn]

Hi Rayjay

Yup! Pretty intensive - 3X per week for 20 sessions.

BTW, there is going to be a talk by this speaker Dr Martha Burns on Brain Fitness & Learning In Special Needs kids. Its held at one of the Special Needs school If you are interested, do PM me.

Cheers

Hi there Is Neuro Linguistic Programming or hypnotheraphy used in the sessions conducted by BrainFit? Also, do the kids have to continue with the sessions to see continued results? Has anyone’s kid stopped going to BrainFit but still reaps the benefits i.e. still doing well in school etc? It is important to know what happens after you stop going for the sessions. Thanks!

Hi, seems like most people have tried Brain Fit but not SBDC. Does anyone have anything to say regarding SBDC?

My kids are with Brainfit classroom (Kovan). Let me know if you need their names for referrer. They love going to brainfit for classes.

Very interesting… I want my DS to enrol in a good English program.

What’s the suitable age for my kid to join the Brainfit program?
