Learning Enhancement Advanced Program
Tanulást Segítő Program
The Learning Enhancement Acupressure Program, or LEAP®, has been developed over the past
decade in conjunction with clinical psychologists, speech pathologists, neurologists and other health professionals, as a very effective program for the correction of most learning difficulties.
LEAP®, is based on a new model of learning integrating the most recent concepts in neurophysiology of the brain and uses highly specific kinesiological formatting to address stress
within specific brain structures. The application of specific non-invasive acupressure techniques
can then resolve these stresses resulting in a return to normal function.
In the LEAP®, model of learning, Gestalt and Logic functions are not simply localised in the
right or left cerebral hemisphere as in the popular Right Brain/Left Brain model of learning.
Rather, each type of brain function or process appears to have a cerebral "lead" function that is
either predominantly Gestalt or Logic in nature. Each of these cortical “lead” functions provides
a “point of entry” into a widely distributed system comprising many subconscious cortical
submodules in both hemispheres and many subcortical modules throughout the limbic system
and brainstem.
While this allows highly efficient processing through multi-plexing and parallel processing, it
means that brain processing is “time bound”. Since many components of any mental function
are performed in many different parts of the brain, and often at different speeds, coherent output
in the form of “thinking” requires integration and synchronisation of all of these desperate
processes.
Loss of integrated brain function, I term loss of Brain Integration, thus results in the loss of a specific mental capacity, the ability to perform a specific type of mental task. When these specific mental capacities are required for academic performance, their loss can result in Specific
Learning Difficulties.
Specific Learning Difficulties (SLDs) arise in this model by either lack of access to specific
subconscious processing modules, either cortical or subcortical, or the inability to integrate the
processing modules accessed. Thus to resolve these SLDs, you need only “open up” access to
these “blocked” processing modules or resynchronise the timing of information flow between
them to re-instate integrated brain function. The LEAP®, program provides an integrated
kinesiologically based acupressure protocol to access “stress” within specific brain nuclei and
areas that have “blocked” integrated function and that resynchronise the timing of signals
between these various brain areas.
