A special developmental and play tool for children and adults, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
Main benefits:
- overcomes shyness and builds self-esteem
- develops motor coordination
- develops eye-hand-foot coordination
- synchronizes the work of the two brain hemispheres
- coordinates movement at a whole-body level
- can be used preventively and therapeutically to develop learning skills
- can reduce behavioral disorders
- develops attention, spatial awareness and sense of direction
- used in a group, it has a positive effect on adaptability
- great for strengthening the back, abdominal, thigh, glute and arm muscles, so it can even help prevent poor posture, or serve as a supportive tool in physiotherapy
- excellent for breaking down retained infant reflexes that have persisted abnormally
- develops bilateral motor coordination, helps establish laterality and resolve mixed laterality
- builds persistence, tolerance for monotony and rule-following
- can be combined with cognitive tasks, making it useful for treating and preventing learning disorders
- helps prevent dementia in older adults
- broadens and enriches the range of rehabilitation tools available after brain events
How it's used:
- individually
- with two people
- in a group
- lying down, sitting on the heels, on all fours, sitting, standing, kneeling
- actively and passively for the person sitting on the board
How it works:
- it's a primary tool in developmental gymnastics, since the board helps with a great many issues. For infants, even from just a few weeks old, it offers a pleasant balance stimulus that helps restore and support shifted muscle tone, and works well preventively too. For older children, specific tasks can be combined with the balance stimulus and cognitive tasks, which really activates every area of the brain, making it a great tool for speech problems and specific learning difficulties
- used independently, propelling it by yourself coordinates the movement of the trunk, arms and legs, which requires complex neurological work. This is why it's also suitable for development: children who can't propel the device at first learn to do so playfully, while the connection between their two brain hemispheres keeps maturing
- the balance stimulus also helps manage behavioral, conduct and attention disorders
- the coordinated action of the head, legs, arms and trunk matters in countless areas of life. It's what lets us correct dangerous situations, drive a car, avoid falls, or simply sit at a desk and write while paying attention to the teacher, listening to our boss, and carrying out our task at the same time
- used in a group, it forces us to react quickly and precisely, and to tune in to others both physically and emotionally. This cooperation is present in every area of our lives — we couldn't exist without it. The shared joyful experience enriches our days in ways that make body and mind healthier
- in a group setting, the child learns how to adapt and behave. They also learn empathy, patience, tolerance and cooperation
- it develops the perception of space, distance, depth and speed, which later helps the child find their way in the world, stay on their feet, and adapt in any situation — whether riding a bus, walking or traveling by car
- older children can use it while studying too, since the brain works more receptively while the body is moving, making it easier to memorize poems, foreign words and definitions
- it can help adults dealing with problems caused by brain injury, in re-tuning the body, building neural connections, and it's also an option for preventing dementia
- for those who have already automated propelling the device, it opens up the possibility of using their hands to perform various tasks at the same time. This creates even stronger brain activity and develops concentration, organizational skills, attention, task awareness and independent movements, all of which benefit learning skills and self-confidence
- it can also be used to travel along a pre-built course, which develops the skills mentioned above even more strongly
- it also supports the development of creativity and independent thinking, offering endless playful possibilities — all it takes is handing the tool to the child and letting them explore.
IMPORTANT: THIS DEVELOPMENTAL TOOL SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED IN THE PRESENCE OF A TEACHER, THERAPIST OR PARENT! SOME EXERCISES REQUIRE FALL PROTECTION!
