“We use Gymtrix activities for the Family Literacy School where I work. Our babies (8-11 months old) loved the bubble eye-tracking activity! The batting balloons hand-eye coordination session was a great way for our parents and kids (age 2-5) to have fun together one-on-one while gaining valuable physical skills! My 8-month old daughter, Kaylee, loves doing a backward “roll” down my legs and off my lap. She also loves “flying” on her back (or however). I can’t wait to try the other activities on the videos!”

“Over the past semester, some innovative young people from Paidia International Development have been using the GymTrix curriculum to benefit children with disabilities in the city of Bethlehem, in the West Bank.

Once a week, 30 kids from the House of Hope (a school for special education in Bethlehem) look forward to the chance to spend time playing games, exercising and working together, without even realizing that they are also learning. Teachers from the school have commented on the efficacy of the program, and have noticed improvements in areas such as motor skills, listening ability, peer cooperation, and cognitive ability. They also know that the children love the program.

In fact, the House of Hope has agreed to continue the program for the upcoming year, and other special education centers in the area have signed on as well. It appears that the GymTrix curriculum will continue to have a positive impact on the young people in this historic city.”
