Bal-A-Vis-X and Latchkey
Bal-A-Vis-X
Bal-A-Vis-X is a series of Balance / Auditory / Vision eXercises, of varied complexity, most of which are deeply rooted in rhythm. These exercises require full-body coordination and focused attention. The program utilizes beanbags, racquetballs, balance boards, and multiple principles and activities from Educational Kinesiology. It demands cooperation, promotes self-challenge, and fosters peer teaching. It is school friendly and just plain fun.
Bal-A-Vis-X is for every student. It is effective for students who are labeled:
their academic success improve
learning disabled - their cognitive integration improves
behaviorally disordered - their behavior "settles"
attention deficit disordered / attention deficit hyperactive disordered - their impulsivity decreases and attention span increases
gifted - their physical coordination improves and stress headaches diminish
regular - their academic success improves yet requires less effort
For all students the gains in eye-hand coordination and subsequent growth in overall confidence, hence, self-esteem, are readily observable.
