The NEURO DYNAMIX Steppers consist of 2 solid wooden blocks with holes and are managed with 2 ropes that are thread through the holes with hand support for each hand.

Steppers develop eye-hand-foot coordination while improving balance and the learner’s feeling of confidence as they feel taller, bigger and stronger.

In the NEURO DYNAMIX programme the main purpose of the steppers is to:

Spatial and environmental awareness are not important for literacy, mathematics, life orientation and sciences.

The NEURO DYNAMIX Steppers promote laterality because:

To function effectively across the environment and tasks at hand, learners need the ability to maintain controlled postures during both static (still) and dynamic (moving) activities.

Static balance is the ability to hold a position e.g. “freeze” or “statue” games.

Dynamic balance is the ability to remain balanced while moving e.g. walking, running or riding a bike.

Additional skills developed by Steppers are homolateral body awareness, static balance, dynamic balance, directionality and decision making.
