mind-body brain connections
The connections between the mind, body and brain are fascinating, they are built via our senses. The senses impact on our ability to develop, learn, communicate, self regulate and manage our emotions.
Most importantly, the senses are essential in helping us to successfully participate in everyday life; at home, school or work; helping us to interact with others and the world around us.
