A resonance board gives a child more feedback, which facilitates his development of spatial and auditory awareness and helps him become a more active learner.
"The special quality of the board is that any movement on its surface will produce amplified sound and matching vibration, and it will vibrate to music or voices aimed at it even if the sound-maker is not in direct contact with the wood. If you have a board, [other] professionals can be brought in to explore it, to experiment with it, and to collaborate in developing ideas to help individual children. Above all, let the children you know show you how to use the board, and let your imaginations and creative impulses run free together. Discovering these boards almost twenty years ago changed my life in the most positive ways, and I hope the discovery changes your life too." David Brown, a specialist in Deaf-Blindness from California Deaf-Blind Services, has elaborated on the use of resonance boards in an article located on the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness website: |
