Bill Hubert, an English teacher in Kansas, has created a series of 300 balance, auditory, and visual exercises – Bal-A-Vis-X. In the article from the NewStraitsTimes in Malaysia, the reporter explains how Bal-A-Vis-X works with kids with autism and other learning difficulties. She interviews parents and teachers who have tried the process. Bal-A-Vis-X exercises use sandbags or racquet balls to improve upon a child’s natural rhythm and balance, by focusing on touch, sound, and sight. The rhythm of exercises is steady and increases in complexity. Hasanah Hassan, a Malaysian kinesiologist, explained, “Two children partner each other. Here they learn to coordinate the hands and feet movements while watching the sandbags being passed from one to another. We start with a pattern that ensures success because that will result in good self-esteem and the desire to do more.” Any teacher or parent can be trained in the Bal-A-Vis-X program.
