A balance board is one of the sensory tools we use in pediatric occupational therapy to work on whole body sensory motor skills.
As a child shifts their weight to stay balanced, they are getting vestibular and proprioceptive input while working on postural control, body awareness, coordination, and balance.
Sometimes we keep it simple and just stand. Other times we add reaching, catching, or another activity to make the body and brain work together.
