Paul E Dennison Ph. D. is a professional educator, a pioneer in the field of kinesiology, and an authority on the breakthrough attainment of cognitive and academic skills. In the 1960s Dr Dennison began his research into reading achievement and its relation to brain development that would form the basis of the Brain Gym® work.
