Disc Oh!

I am working with several families this summer which I love. I provide educational consulting and advocacy, IEP/504 development and review, and dyslexia therapy for children with reading or other disabilities.  I began using these balance discs a few years ago with children and I have found them to really increase attention and availability for learning for the children with whom I work.  The balance discs provide movement for children who like to squirm in their seats and they also help kids who tend to zone out, to instead stay alert  They are epecially good for children with all types of ADHD, weak trunk strength, slumpers, or learning or attention issues. Sitting on balance discs helps children understand their space when boundaries are an issue. I have recommended them to some parents who are now using them in their homes with success at the dinner table, for bible studies, when crafting, when doing homework, or a myriad of other activities.  I think I got these discs at TJ MAXX for about 10 bucks a piece, but now Wal-Mart is carrying them as well in their fitness section. I love working with kids, especially those who learn differently or who have unfair obstacles to overcome, and I love finding things that help to make their lives easier.  I put no limitations on what children can achieve, no matter their diagnosis or its severity.  If when I die, I have spent all the days of my life helping another to live a better life, then my days have have been well spent.
