Brain Moves: The Body-Brain Connection | Mary Mollway | TEDxTemecula

Your ability to move, learn, and interact with the world is dependent upon movement. Learn how your DNA actually determines the sequence of movement patterns we learn, how these patterns affect our brain function and their connection to learning and developmental delays. Mary Mollway is a learning, development, and health coach. As the owner of her company BrainWorks, she provides movement-based approaches that may improve cognitive development, sensory integration, and motor coordination through a specialized approach called primitive reflex integration. She works across the lifespan and frequently works with clients with autism, ADD, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and PTSD. She has been a public school teacher for twenty years, specializing in reading instruction and is an adjunct professor in a teacher education program for an online university. She is deeply involved in the community and currently serves as an appointed Commissioner on the Parks and Recreation Commission for the City of Murrieta. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
