Activity Spotlight: Dakim Brain Gym

The Dakim Brain Gym is a computer program that asks a series of questions to the participant. It begins with very simple questions in areas such as history, math, science, reading comprehension, etc. It will score each individual category and either raise the level of difficulty for that category or keep it the same or lower. For example, if you do very well in math but not so well in science, the brain gym will automatically (at your next session) raise the level of difficulty for the math questions and keep the science questions the same. The brain gym cannot be done on any ordinary computer, it is its’ own unit and must be completed on those units. Friendship Village of South Hills currently has 68 active users who participate in Dakim Brain Gym at least 3 times per week in a 20-25 minute session each time.
