Research Based: Brain Savvy was originally developed in 1989 as part of a study to increase the creative thinking of older adults. Our research, which was published in Kathy Goff’s doctoral dissertation, demonstrated that brainstorming significantly increased the creativity and life satisfaction of adults who used Brain Savvy when compared to those who did not use it (Goff, 1992; Goff, 1993).

Sensory Experiences

Art is the only field that truly concentrates on developing the sensory experience. Touching, seeing, hearing, smelling and tasting involve the active participation of the individual. The greater the opportunity to develop an increased sensitivity
and awareness of all of the senses, the greater will be the opportunities for learning and creating.

Play is a basic form of learning by doing. It is a medium for self-expression and creative expression. It is important to play every day. People of all ages need play to balance the world of work or school. Play gives us the opportunity to be ourselves, to use our imaginations and to be creative.
