Question: What are some things to consider when using the resonance board with a child?
- Depending on how you use the board, you'll see different responses from the child. Use the Look For Checklist to increase the child's opportunities to explore and learn.
Question: Can this board be used with older students as well, or just little kids?
- The resonance board can be used with students of any age. The size of the board has to be designed for the length and width of the student with arms extended if that is typical for the student.
Question: If a child has very limited mobility...for example, he can only move one foot...would this still be a useful tool?
- Yes. The resonance board provides feedback for even the smallest movement to the whole body. It can give a child who is often in a wheelchair a chance to become aware of where his body is in space and how it can move. Decide which items are most motivating to the child and where the items can be placed so the child can access them and move purposefully.
