Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi , We are also using the balance board for attention deficit. So far, I have got my son who's 9 to stand on the board for 10 mins a day and do an activity ( some manual dexterity exercises that Dr Masgutova recommended for him). He's not hyper but has attention deficit. I hope you can share with us how you used the balance board to help children with similar problems. Also with regards to the weighted blanket, do you mean have the child lying under a weighted blanket while doing the Reflex Exercises?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hello Ladies: I have one of those circular balance things. It has a flat plastic top surface to stand on and a round half-sphere shaped bottom. It can wobble in any direction. Is this wobble thing like your balance boards or are they strictly left and right sides? Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
