Resonance board

  

Use your imagination and the sky is the limit! You can work on an amazing range and variety of skills and activities using a board, including maths, communication, large motor skills and mobility, fine motor manipulation, use of vision and hearing, tactile and visual search, turn-taking, anticipation, encouraging vocalizations and speech, problem-solving, sequencing, cause and effect, rhythm, and on and on. 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. For some students the amplified sound coming through the board might be important, but the vibration that accompanies the sounds will have an immense impact if the student is in direct contact with the board’s surface, and this might be very motivating for them. Sometimes using a board can produce very interesting and surprising outcomes.​
