Tactile Stepping Pathway

Children work on balance while walking on the raised and rigid tactile pathway.

Benefits:

Improve spatial awareness while balancing

Balancing activities challenge the brain to adjust its spatial orientation using the proprioceptive system.

Balancing helps aid the brain to place words on a page, to read from left to right and to write patterns in sequence.

Activities that involve balancing help the brain to anchor information and improve memory retrieval.

Rhythm Drums

Hearing a steady beat and keeping a steady beat develops the internal dialogue, that little voice inside your head.  This inner dialogue starts around 3-5 years old by hearing/listening to human voices (talk, sing, pitch).  Internal dialogue is necessary for acquiring receptive and expressive language. 

These concepts aid the brain in auditory discrimination by sounding out letter sounds and words in a receptive language and discriminating words in spoken language.
