Developmental NeuroPlay - NuBrix Games & Brain Evolution
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than a year of conversation.
~ Plato
130 Ron Bittner has created a game that brings family and brain injury victims together. His NuBrix game ‘construct’ is based on thirty years of construction experience, but has its motivation and mission to bring people together to more effectively connect for a variety of executive function recovery processes.

He's a board member of the American Combat Veterans of War [ACVOW] who counsels and mentors younger veterans dealing with PTS and stress. During development of the game, it became evident that the concept captured both cognitive and motor skills and proved a remarkable asset to multiple levels therapy.
For NuBrix Connections Matter
Family members can now feel empowered to help loved ones or friends rebuild their lives for greater potential while also receiving the neurological 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. A promising additional use: family gaming after dinner to develop both parents and children. And team competition can encourage a utilitarian yet a fun level of structure.
Bittner Brief Bio
As a young man, his younger brother Mark suffered a traumatic brain injury and Ron lived for years with his brother in the process of shuttling from facility to facility. Over time, his family soon found interaction was markedly limited with their stricken brother. Few options existed then to interact with Mark to encourage real connections or to rebuild a sense of purpose for him and his siblings. Now Ron's 90 yr. old father Charles has onset dementia.

Now Ron's 90 yr. old father Charles has experienced an onset of dementia. As a caregiver to both, it was evident that an interaction plan was needed to help both men become more cognitively and physically engaging. NuBrix helps solve that connection and rebuilding complexity for both men.
