Long Track GSA Lessons

Get Sensational Attention (GSA) Program

Testimonial from Principal Danny Garcia

Congratulations for picking the Long Track!

You just help your children for a lifetime.

Total time needed for the GSA Long Track?

We divided the course into seven weeks, but as you will see, you can complete the Teacher videos all at once and then proceed to the segments for the animation video section. For the Long Track, we estimate 15 to 20 minutes a day for seven weeks (5-6 hours total). 

The benefits will last for years even with the toughest kids if applied during your school days. The Principal at Kohala Elementary (Danny Garcia at our pilot school) reported six years later and the most challenged kids are still improving.

Note: To connect with the Sensory Body, do not engage in any movements if you feel discomfort in your body. In the Sensory Body, you should never experience pain, discomfort, or strain. Focus on doing less, feel pleasure.

Here are the Weekly Video Segments

The animation video, “Get Sensational Attention,” is divided into five segments. Be sure to review the User Guide and the video segment for that week before showing the children. Pause the video after each segment (to continue next week) and have the children answer the questions in the User Guide. The questions help the children to listen to the conversations in their Sensory Body.
