The DynaVision helps with:
- Sensory-Motor Integration
- Brain Injury and Stroke Rehabilitation

- Reaction Time
- High performance athletic activities

Play Attention is the #1 computer-based program for children and adults with attention problems. It is designed to improve attention and teach skills necessary for success in the classroom, at work, and with friends.
Benefits may include improved focus, improved behavior, improved academics, improved social interaction.
Learning Breakthrough Program (LBP) is a unique home program designed for improving balance in upright position, developing coordination of eyes and hands, integrating right/left brain and body, improving reaction time, precisely calibrated performance, and enhancing visual-vestibular coordination.
This program can be used by children and adults, for graded progressive coordination activities, to increase the challenge to top athletic performance, to provide repetition necessary for skill refinement and to integrate vision and balance with movement.
This system contains a balance board with a calibration grid and adjustable rockers, beanbags, apendulum ball, a T-stand and a bounce backboard. The daily activities are followed on a DVD or from the manual. The full program involves a daily routine for 12 weeks. Repeat as desired.
LBP will increase the reaction time of persons with attention deficit, improve performance of athletes’ non-dominant side, clumsiness, improve fluidity and rhythm for persons with stiff or jerky movements. For artists, mathematicians and musicians LBP will actually tune your brain to work more efficiently, to process information faster and to push you to optimum cognitive function.
