A special developmental and play tool for children and adults, suitable for indoor and outdoor use
Key functions:
- overcomes shyness, develops self-esteem
- develops motor coordination
- develops eye-hand-foot coordination
- coordinates the function of the two brain hemispheres
- coordinates movement at a full body level
- can be used for preventive and therapeutic purposes to develop learning abilities
- can reduce behavioral disorders
- develops attention, spatial awareness, and sense of direction
- when used in groups, it has a positive effect on adaptability
- effectively strengthens back, abdominal, thigh, gluteal, and arm muscles, thus suitable for preventing poor posture, or as a complementary, assistive tool in physiotherapy
- exceptionally suitable for breaking down existing, abnormally persistent infantile reflexes
- develops bilateral motor coordination, assists in establishing laterality, and organizes mixed laterality
- strengthens perseverance, tolerance of monotony, and rule-following
- can be combined with cognitive tasks, making it suitable for treating and preventing learning disabilities
- helps prevent dementia in the elderly
- expands and diversifies rehabilitation options after brain incidents
Application:
- individually
- in pairs
- in groups
- lying down, sitting on heels, on all fours, sitting, standing, kneeling
- actively and passively for the person sitting on the board
How it works:
- it is a primary tool in developmental gymnastics, as the board is an assistive tool for many problems. For very young children, even from a few weeks old, it provides a pleasant equilibrium stimulus to restore and assist shifted muscle tone, but can also be used preventively. For older children, the equilibrium stimulus can be combined with specific tasks to perform cognitive tasks, which significantly engages all areas of the brain, making it an excellent tool for speech problems and helping with specific learning difficulties
- when operated independently, it coordinates the movement of the torso-arm-leg, which presupposes complex nervous system work. Therefore, it is also suitable for development, as children who are initially unable to operate the tool learn playfully, while their nervous system continuously matures in terms of the connection between their two brain hemispheres
- the equilibrium stimulus also helps in managing behavioral, conduct, and attention disorders.
- the coordinated function of the head, feet, arms, and torso is important in countless areas of our lives. This enables us to correct dangerous situations, drive a car, prevent falls, or simply sit in class and write while our attention is on the teacher, or our boss is talking to us while we perform our task.
- when used in groups, it forces us to react quickly and precisely; we need to tune into each other both physically and emotionally. This cooperation is present in all areas of our lives; we could not exist without it. The joyful experience gained together positively enriches our days, making our body and soul healthier.
- the child learns how to adapt and behave in group settings. They also learn empathy, patience, tolerance, and cooperation.
- it develops the judgment of space-distance-depth-speed, which later helps the child navigate the world, stay on their feet, and adapt to all circumstances. Be it traveling on a bus or during pedestrian or car traffic.
- older children can also use it while studying, because the brain works more receptively while the body is moving, making it easier to memorize poems, foreign words, and definitions.
- it can help in treating problems arising from brain injuries in adults, re-tuning the body, creating neural connections, and is also an opportunity to prevent dementias.
- for those for whom operating the tool has become automated, there is an opportunity to perform various tasks using their hands. This creates even stronger brain activity, develops concentration skills, organizational skills, attention, task awareness, and independent movements, all of which beneficially affect learning skills and self-confidence.
- it can also be used to navigate a pre-built course, which further strengthens the previously mentioned skills.
- it also promotes the development of creativity and independent thinking, providing an infinite number of playful possibilities, and for this, it is enough to simply give the tool to the child and let them unfold/develop.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE DEVELOPMENTAL TOOL IS ALWAYS USED IN THE PRESENCE OF A TEACHER, THERAPIST, OR PARENT! SOME TASKS REQUIRE SHOCK ABSORPTION!
