James’ Success Story: Overcoming Challenges with the Barboleta Smart Balance Board

James is an energetic seven-year-old who struggles to sit still long enough to finish multi-step tasks. Traditional worksheets were a battle; movement helped, but he needed structure. The Smart Balance Board gave him both: movement that means something inside a learning activity.

We started with app games that target short memory sequences and attention shifting. Because the board translates body movement into game progress, James channels his energy into the task rather than away from it. He now completes multi-step directions—“tilt to select, hold steady to confirm, shift left to continue”—without frustration. The board and app are designed for quick calibration and easy daily use, so we fit two 10-minute sessions around school and dinner.

After three weeks, James’ teacher noted he raises his hand more and follows routines with fewer reminders. At home, we’ve added language games; he loves hearing immediate feedback while he balances. The combination of sensory input, balance training, and cognitive play is exactly the bridge he needed.
