you’ll see the entire Adaptive Bal-A-Vis-X process of “backing up in order to go forward”--the many and varied modifications of BAVX Level 1 exercises appropriate for the Very Young/Seniors/those with Severe Special Needs
AND
you’ll hear Jane Schlapp, of the Kansas Autism Society, speak of her son John’s five-year journey with BAVX, to the point that now he helps her teach BAVX to others (you’ll see him do a 3-Ball bounce)
AND
you’ll hear Becki Yoder speak of bringing BAVX to Seniors on a regular basis, such that a group in their 80’s now creates their own advanced BAVX exercises (they’ll demonstrate for you)
AND
you’ll see how academics and memorization can be “overlaid” onto the rhythmic framework of BAVX exercises--at any grade level
AND
you’ll see the BAVX Vision Tracking Scale demonstrated
AND
you’ll watch us assess a struggling student for a Learning Dominance
Profile . . . and more . . .
