Bal-A-Vis-X is an acronym for Balance/Auditory/Vision eXercises, all of which are deeply rooted in rhythm. Using sand-filled bags and racquetballs, these exercises address visual tracking deficiency, auditory imprecision, impulsivity, balance and anxiety issues. Bag exercises are often combined with foot patterns; ball exercises are often done while standing on special balance boards. In partner/group settings, exercises demand cooperation, promote self-challenge, foster peer teaching. This book was originally published in 2001. Its content is all we knew, at that time, about the benefits of Bal-A-Vis-X for struggling students. If you teach students who, although struggling, are capable of mainstream instruction (they do not have severe special needs), the information in this book is as valid today as it was then. This Second Edition simply updates details and nuances. If, however, you are a therapist or if you teach those with severe special needs (autism, CP, MS, TBI, PTSD, etc.), you would be better served by RESONANCE, published in 2007. Any teacher or therapist might find value in CUES: FOR LEARNING AND TEACHING IN FLOW, published in 2014.

From the Author:

Do you teach?

Do you find that, no matter how much time and energy you expend, how many different approaches you employ, regardless of subject or grade level or class size, an all-too-familiar pattern prevails: many learn much, with modest effort
many learn some, with great effort
far too many learn little, no matter the effort?

Bal-A-Vis-X enables both students and teachers to break that pattern, to work together in such a way that many more learn much, with modest effort

very many more learn more, with new found focus of effort
only a few, those who refuse, learn little.

Bal-A-Vis-X is both a Destination and a Portal-To-Beyond for any student or teacher willing to go. You are invited.
