The ability to write neatly and quickly is crucial to success in school and in life. If your child needs to improve handwriting skill, you know the frustrations that he or she can have, and you know that these problems are holding your child back from full academic success.

There are several basic brain processes involved in handwriting. Binocular teaming, or the proper focusing of the eyes, requires integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. Writing neatly on the paper is a fine motor activity which requires good hand eye coordination and good fine motor skill. Most handwriting problems are caused by a sensory integration disorder which inhibits coordination and integration between the many brain structures and systems involved in the writing process. The question for the parent is simply this: how can I begin to address the brain processing problems that are making it difficult for my child to write neatly and quickly?

Balametrics has developed products and therapies that use balance as the central component to addressing brain-processing disorders. Activities on the Belgau Balance Board can help your child to achieve greater integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. Learning Breakthrough Program activities using the Bean Bags or Pendulum Ball stimulate the eyes’ binocular teaming, and improve hand eye coordination.

The question you have to ask yourself is: Why keep applying band-aids to symptoms when I can start addressing the foundational problems which are keeping my child from academic success?
