Education & Learning Support
Natural Path Arts & Learning, specializes in providing academic support through movement-based, multi-sensory learning experiences. Led by Megan Gruner, an experienced Waldorf educator and certified Brain Gym™ Movement Facilitator works with the , each session includes various Brain Gym, Bal-A-Vis-X, and other movement exercises, which supports the learning brain, fostering neural connections which strengthen focus, attention, and the foundational skills in literacy and numeracy needed for lasting academic success. This holistic approach to learning support helps students to thrive academically and beyond. Help your child build confidence, engagement, and a lifelong love of learning with Natural Path Arts & Learning.
Our Approach
Natural Path Arts & Learning offers a developmental, whole-child approach to learning challenges. Rather than addressing symptoms, we work to identify and support the root causes of academic or behavioral difficulties. Using movement-based learning alongside structured academic support, we help students build stronger cognitive, emotional, and physical foundations for success.
Dyslexia and Language Based Learning Support
Our comprehensive approach particularly benefits students with dyslexia or other language challenges. For dyslexic learners, our specialized movement exercises strengthen visual tracking, cross-lateral integration, and phonological awareness which are often underdeveloped in children who struggle with reading and language. Through targeted Brain Gym, Bal-A-Vis-X movements, and other modalities we help rewire these connections, making reading and writing progressively more accessible. We incorporate evidence-based Science of Reading principles and the structured Orton-Gillingham approach to reading and spelling instruction, providing systematic, explicit teaching methods proven effective for struggling readers.
Executive Functioning Development
Students struggling with executive functioning skills benefit from our structured movement-based practices designed to improve working memory, cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation. Through targeted activities that focus on planning, organizing, and sustained attention, we help children develop the tools they need to initiate tasks, stay organized, and follow through tasks to completion.
Mathematics & Numeracy Support
For mathematics development, our approach addresses the foundational skills often overlooked in traditional education. Through various games and activities, we strengthen number sense, spatial reasoning, and sequential thinking—the building blocks of mathematical understanding. Our exercises develop the underlying cognitive processes needed for arithmetic operations, pattern recognition, and mathematical problem-solving. Students who struggle with math concepts benefit from our multisensory approach that integrates physical movement with numerical concepts, creating stronger neural pathways for mathematical thinking and boosting both competence and confidence.
The Natural Path Arts and Learning Difference
What sets Natural Path Arts and Learning apart is our deep understanding of child development combined with diverse educational methodologies. Rather than applying surface-level solutions, we strive to identify the developmental gaps underlying learning challenges. Our sessions create a supportive, creative environment where children engage in a variety of activities and instruction which help build neural connections and strengthen core learning foundations in both literacy and numeracy.
