Coordination / Balance / Motor Planning
Are you able to perform a new motor activity easily? In the right order? Or, do you have to do it over and over again from beginning to end until it is no longer ‘new’? Are you clumsy? Drop or bump into things? Our sense of balance and where we are in space are important to our ability to coordinate our actions to perform them with ease.
Children and Coordination/Balance Issues
Poor motor planning and coordination often result in being the last one to be picked for the team, late to ride a bicycle, poor/messy handwriting. These struggles can shatter a child’s confidence.
Adults and Coordination/Balance Issues
Our balance and coordination are extremely important for our health and safety throughout the lifespan. As we age, steps become obstacles, picking things up is difficult, getting out of bed can even become dangerous. The good news is the system governing the mechanisms associated with balance can be improved at any age.
How does iLs help Coordination/Balance/Motor Planning?
Dreampad
The Dreampad induces a more restful sleep, providing the necessary foundation for balance and coordination.
Focus System
The multisensory, bottom-up input of the Focus System improves balance, coordination, and awareness of the body in space. Combining these with increased joint awareness – proprioception – the foundation for motor planning is in place. Now, the only thing required is practice.
HOW IT WORKS

My Best Self
All iLs systems come with supervision, either from your current iLs-trained therapist or from an iLs-employed coach who can work remotely with clients who don’t have an iLs provider in their area. You can find an iLs Provider here or contact us to locate someone in your area.
The goal is not a quick fix; it’s lasting change.
Case Studies
Fine Motor Developmental Delay
“When I first began seeing Grayson, he was easily frustrated. He gave up on a task before even trying it. He would say, “It is too hard!” and walk away. After using iLs, Grayson’s behavior and his ability to regulate his emotions significantly improved. With consistent listening, his writing evolved to include correct grammar and punctuation. It was exciting to experience these changes with him and watch his confidence soar.”
We transform lives of children and adults everyday.

I did iLs with my son this last year through our school. He has improved in motor, writing, sensory integration, fine motor skills, speech delay and self-esteem. He still has some attention issues but we’re so glad we did it. Great program!
