BAL-A-VIS-X an outstanding way of helping coordination and focused attention in children and adults.

BAL-A-VIS-X

Rhythmic

Balance/Auditory/Vision/eXercises

The First Ever SCOTLAND Training in Bal-A-Vis-X is on

22^nd – 24^th June 2012

Bal-A-Vis-Xis a series of Balance/Auditory/Vision eXercises of varied complexity, all of which are deeply rooted in rhythm.

These exercises require full-body coordination and focused attention. The programme utilizes beanbags, racquet balls, balance boards and multiple principles and activities from Educational Kinesiology. The exercises have been developed over 30 years by Bill Hubert of Wichita, Kansas, USA and are used by a large number of educational institutes throughout America.

The Scotland training is being organised by Jane Oliver at RAVIVWORKS and will be delivered by Bill Hubert, the founder and creator of Bal-A–Vis–X.

Bill Hubert taught first grade through to university levels for nearly 40 years. Much of that time was spent researching for answers to two questions:

Why do so many students struggle to learn?

What might enable them to function at their best rather than compensatorily?

The Bal-A-Vis-X programme answers both questions.

In 2005 Bill left the classroom to focus fulltime on Bal-A-Vis-X, training teachers,parents,occupational and physical therapists across the world to use with their students and children.

Bal-A-Vis-X (BAVX) was originally developed for regular and special education students in Nursery to Year 10 school setting, where the following benefits have been consistent:

For learning disabled students – cognitive integration improves
For behaviourally disordered students – behaviour “settles”
For attention deficit disordered/attention deficit hyperactive disordered students – impulsivity decreases and ability to focus increases
For gifted students – physical coordination improves and stress headaches diminish
For regular education students – academic success requires less effort
For students with inadequate auditory skills who “hear” but don’t attend to the precise details of:
Pronunciation: they can/do not distinguish among initial consonant sounds or digraphs, between one word’s ending and the next word’s beginning, among vowel sounds
Verbal instructions: they grasp random pieces, seemingly by chance
Discussion: they rarely follow the flow and often interrupt to make unrelated comments or superfluous questions

THE RYTHMIC PATTERNS OF BAL-A-VIS-X CREATE A NEW AWARENESS OF THE NUANCES OF SOUND.

For students whose visual acuity may be 20/20 yet whose vision is deficient in:
Ocular Motility (tracking)- eyes that float,stick,skip,stutter or dart - will FLOW
Binocularity (teaming)- eyes that squint, blink excessively, or produce extreme head/neck postures for near vision tasks -WORK TOGETHER
Visual Form Perception (discrimination of details)- eyes that are careless about, forgetful of, or inattentive to differences and similarities -NOTICE

For ALL STUDENTS - gains in hand-eye coordination and subsequent growth in confidence, hence, in earned self-esteem are readily observable.
