As part of the accountability movement, schools are increasingly called upon to provide interventions that are based on sound scientific research and that provide measurable outcomes for children. Brain Gym[R] is a popular commercial program claiming that adherence to its regimen will result in more efficient learning in an almost miraculous manner. However, a review of the theoretical foundations of Brain Gym[R] and the associated peer-reviewed research studies failed to support the contentions of the promoters of Brain Gym[R]. Educators are encouraged to become informed consumers of research and to avoid implementing programming for which there is neither a credible theoretical nor a sound research basis.
