Kinesthetic Classroom Standing Balance Desk from KidsFit

This product is designed to help children practice and develop the important skill of crossing the midline, which is essential for a variety of everyday tasks. Midline crossing refers to the ability to reach across the body with one hand or foot to perform tasks such as writing, dressing, and playing sports.

When children avoid this action, they may struggle with developing fine motor skills, which are crucial for writing, dressing, or engaging in sports. Practicing midline crossing helps strengthen the dominant hand, promoting more coordinated and skilled hand use. Additionally, difficulties with midline crossing can interfere with reading skills, as children may have trouble tracking text from left to right or following a moving object across their field of vision.

This delay in tracking can significantly impact a child's ability to develop fluent reading and writing skills, making it harder to perform academic tasks. This product works by encouraging and guiding children to cross the midline naturally, promoting both physical and cognitive development. Designed for children in grades 2nd through high school, the product comes in various sizes, catering to different age groups and classroom settings. It can accommodate up to 250 lbs. and is available in configurations ranging from 1 to 6 users, making it ideal for both individual practice and group activities.

This tool not only helps children develop stronger fine motor skills but also improves coordination and cognitive functions such as reading, writing, and object tracking. By incorporating this tool into daily activities, children can gain the skills needed to navigate both academic and everyday tasks with greater ease. This versatile product is an effective solution for schools, therapy centers, and homes, helping children build the foundational skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
