Backed by 2 decades of research, proving increased scores in math, spelling, and reading when you use BRAINball™ two times a week with your students. Instructors and students use 100 soft mini balls and 100 lesson plans to develop math, reading, grammar, spelling, anatomy, and foreign language skills. In addition to the physical benefits, significant improvement will be seen in gross and fine motor skills, cooperative, and cognitive learning. BRAINball™ can be incorporated into Adapted Physical Education programs, as well as those teaching students with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia.
Why use BRAINball™?
Developed by the University School of Physical Education, in Wroclaw, Poland in 2002, BRAINball™ has almost two decades of proven research published in numerous books, research publications, and doctoral dissertations. Ask us how to set up a professional development workshop at your school.
BRAINball™ has been improved! It is now made with a lighter weight, soft foamed rubber that is less intimidating and easier to transport.*
