Mastermind Camp is a 2 week camp for kids between the ages of 8 and 11. It incorporates Bal-A-Vis-X exercises, social thinking skills, Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI), structural realignment exercises, mindfulness skills and iLs listening program (based on recommendation) to promote attention, concentration, self-reflection, and social perception skills. Through this multi-modality approach, participants will strengthen their mind-body organization resulting in enhanced social engagement, academic participation, self-reflection skills, coordination, and confidence. Continued work using the skills taught during the camp will be important for ongoing improvement and participants will be provided with home exercise activities, bean bags, and balls to take home for this purpose. This camp is limited to 6 participants max.

Programs:

Bal-A-Vis-X: Rhythmic/balance/auditory/vision exercises requiring full-body coordination and focused attention. The exercises increase in complexity and help to improve coordination, visual motor skills, and balance.

Reflex Integration: Primary movements and reflex patterns are expressed by every individual and are key elements of human development. When reflexes do not fully integrate or become active during stressful situations, abnormal movement patterns may develop and impede the development of more mature movement patterns, skills, & intellectual processes.

Structural Realignment exercises: The structure realignment exercises utilize slow meditative movements to address the fascia system to restore body alignment and well-being. Myofascia is a flexible network of tissue that surrounds, cushions, and supports muscles, bones, and organs.  It also acts as a riverbed containing the flow of interstitial fluid and is a critical influence on the immune and hormonal systems. In daily life, this connective tissue is an underlying determinant of movement quality, mood, alertness, and general wellbeing.

Mindfulness Exercises: guided meditation and visualization exercises will be introduced to provide participants with a number of ways to tap into their ability to calm themselves, be reflective and manage stress and anxiety.

iLs (Integrated Listening Systems) program: classical music filtered at specific frequencies and with gentle bone conduction to promote neural rewiring, regulate the nervous system and improve sensory processing. Not appropriate for all participants - occupational therapist will recommend to parents if appropriate.
