Balance Trainer and Cards

Balance Half Ball

A versatile sensory tool that offers an endless number of safe, fun activities for balance that provide vestibular input through play. Helps children build control and awareness of where their body is in space. Sit, stand, squat and bounce on the dome to challenge strength and balance. Offers more stability than an exercise ball for children with low tone, and low-to-the ground design appeals to kids who may be reluctant to try other activities. Use the exercises illustrated on the Balance Trainer Cards for a fun, engaging, full-body workout. The movement activities are suitable for different levels of challenge and can be modified depending on ability. These exercises can help kids increase their attention span and focus, develop postural control, and so much more. Use during recess at school, therapy sessions or at home.
