Welcome to the Brain FUNdamentals Blog!
I began this blog in May 2020 while working as the Lead Coach and Educator at Brain Fit Academy Inc. Today, I’m excited to continue sharing my insights and experiences—only now, I’m writing from the perspective of my own company, Brain FUNdamentals LLC! While the name has changed, my passion for this work remains the same!

Asymmetrical Tonic…What Now??
I've been a teacher for quite awhile. 20+ years actually. I've taught pre-schoolers, I've taught 2nd graders, I've taught 4th and 5th graders. I'm also a mom to two teenage children. And in all that time of being a teacher and a mom, I had never heard of the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) until about two years ago. Never.
