Sarah’s occupational therapist suggested adding graded balance tasks to support core strength and coordination. We wanted something engaging we could use between appointments. The Smart Balance Board’s wood design is lightweight yet sturdy, and the anti-slip zone made Sarah feel safe from the first try. We paired that with app games that gradually increase difficulty so she can practice timing, weight shift, and visual tracking.
We track progress through “milestone moments”: holding a steady stance for 30 seconds, then completing a full game level without stepping off. The app’s wide library—more than 500 activities—lets us rotate goals to prevent plateaus. After a month, Sarah can maintain balance while reading short word prompts on the screen, a skill that now transfers to classroom standing activities and PE warm-ups. The best part? She asks to “do her board” before homework because it helps her focus.
