What do you get when you integrate Bal-A-Vis-X in your school curriculum? How about energy, coordination, concentration, self-esteem and HUGE smiles. This year my children and I participated in the Bal-A-Vis-X program under the direction of Mrs. Cosgrove. From the start we enjoyed being up and about in our room using the sandbags or balls. Then we quickly realized much more. We had to synchronize our movements so they would sound as though one person was bouncing a ball. My children were developing their attention to details and gaining confidence in their ability to undertake any NEW task.

I have been carrying my racquetballs, Lazy 8s and Bal-A-Vis-X balance boards all over the Seacoast of NH. It's been great for helping my elderly patients get their balance back and the kids in all of the 5 schools magically get calm and more organized just by standing on the Bal-A-Vis-X balance board. We've even been able to make the sound of one ball in a few classes! Magic and miracles are happening all around and I thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.

Children in some Haverhill schools have been tossing bean bags to each other and bouncing rubber balls in class — all with their teachers' approval. What appeared to be games are instead a method to help children succeed academically and socially. Both teachers have been trying Bal-A-Vis-X and say it has had a positive effect on their students. 'I'm seeing amazing progress,' one teacher said.
