Kuczala is a leading authority on using movement and understanding the brain/body connection in both educational and corporate settings.

As stated in The Kinesthetic Classroom, “Teachers are already doing an outstanding job with developing children’s cognitive abilities; now is the time to focus on physical and social growth as well. After all, these three areas matter most in our lives!”

In a release district officials stated, "We expect the experience to result in a broader understanding of how (and why) movement may be incorporated in schools, homes, or workplaces, and an increased awareness of the benefits of exercise and movement in the general community."
