| Action Based Learning |
Station One: Building the Framework
for Learning
Bilateral movement; Opposition; Spatial Awareness; Movement
in different levels; Proprioception; Jumping and Landing; Dynamic balance;
Patterning; Spatial concepts of over and under
These concepts aid the brain in placing words on a page,
reading words from left to right, and writing patterns in sequence.
Station Two: Integrating the Senses
Coordination of the auditory, visual, and kinesthetic
senses; Eye tracking for visual-motor control; Development of core muscles to
strengthen neural pathways; Sequencing of complex motor skills; Patterning;
Problem solving; Transfer from three dimensional to two dimensional input; Directionality
These concepts aid the brain in following the flow of
words, sequencing patterns in math and reading, solving problems, and sorting
information.
Station Three: Vestibular Development
Development of inner ear to coordinate of the auditory,
visual, and kinesthetic senses; Spatial Awareness; Body control; Dynamic
balance; Locomotor skill development; High, medium, low levels; Joint
compression; Beat competency; Spatial concepts of around, up and down.
These concepts aid the brain in putting numbers or letters
in sequence, discriminating different sounds, placing letters and words in a
page, and writing letters in proper proportion.
Station Four: Visual-Motor Control
Development of visual fields including peripheral vision;
Transfer from three dimensional to two dimensional input; Form discrimination;
Beat competency; Dynamic balance; Directionality; Cross Lateralization;
Encoding symbols with the ABC Pathways Mat
These concepts aid the brain in encoding the stroke of each
symbol of letters and numbers, recognizing letters and numbers, writing letters
and numbers, following words from left to right, focusing on reading for longer
periods, discriminating sounds, and organizing information.
Station Five: Visual Tracking
Tracking of a moving object; Eye-hand and eye-foot
coordination; Development of visual fields; Cross lateralization; Patterning;
Targets; Joint compression; Beat competency; Dynamic balance; Sequencing of
patterns; Transition from novice to mastery stage; Skills of toss, catch,
throw, aim, strike, jump, juggle, kick, bounce, dribble
These concepts aid the brain in processing thought,
organizing thoughts in sequence, discriminating likenesses and differences,
discriminating sounds, and advancing to higher level thinking.
Station Six: Higher Level Thinking with
the Action Based Learning™ Ladder
Higher level of dynamic balance; Complex motor control;
Practice and reinforcement of academic content
Theses concepts aid the brain in anchoring information and
improved memory retrieval, preparing the brain to take a test, and combining
many skills for higher level thinking.
