TAG is Movement with Meaning

Who does TAG help?

TAG is designed for students who learn differently—especially those with:

​

   • ADHD: who benefit from physical activation and structured engagement
   • Dyslexia: who need explicit, multisensory instruction to build decoding skills
   • Executive Function Challenges: who struggle with attention, working memory, and task initiation
   • Language-Based Learning Differences: who require repetition, movement, and visual scaffolds

​​


Why It Works:
   • Movement regulates attention and emotion
   • Multisensory input strengthens memory and mastery
   • Structured routines reduce cognitive overload
   • Students feel seen, supported, and successful
