Who is this course for?

Participants who recognize themselves in this target group description

Brain Blocks is suitable for a broad target group, from children to adults with diverse social and emotional support needs. The method can be applied with clients with or without a diagnosis, including individuals with intellectual disabilities and gifted individuals, as long as they are capable of basic reflection. From approximately four years of age, this is possible, as children are then able to recognize themselves as an “I” with their own feelings and thoughts. Brain Blocks is less suitable for clients with severe cognitive or psychotic disorders or when working with visual material evokes resistance and hinders reflection.
