  • Ron Bittner, Inventer of a Fun and Healing Game for PTSD, TBI, Brain Injury, etc
    During development of the game it became evident that the concept captured both cognitive and motor skills and was inherent to therapy. It addresses three basic concepts for the brain to identify - shapes, color and numbers. Successful activity in the local VA spinal injury ward, brain injury rehab units and mentally challenged homes is the basis for our company motto - a focused connectivity experience. 
    NuBrix is a hands on organic neuro building activity.  All people benefit from this type of game whether young or old. Family members feel empowered to help loved ones or friends rebuild their lives for greater potential while also receiving the neuro and stress reducing benefits . Therapeutic staff can use NuBrix to assess in a recreational setting and escalate the level of play by introducing advanced concepts and game design.
