BrainWorks!

What is a Sensory Diet? A sensory diet is the strategic use of sensory
activities. While most of us use sensory strategies without really
thinking about it (drinking coffee to stay alert, listening to soothing
music to unwind, jogging to release tension, etc.), some children and
adults have sensory needs that require a more intentional approach. A
sensory diet is a plan, usually established by an Occupational
Therapist, to meet the needs of people with sensory processing
disorders so they will be able to engage in social interactions, focus
on their education, self-soothe, and sustain attention to task more
effectively. BrainWorks simplifies the process of creating sensory
diets and teaches self-modulation through its use.

BrainWorks offers two convenient options: Physical Products or Digital
Access:

Find other ZORGIUM pages using your favorite search engine:

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
