ABL Roll & Crawl Mat  

Brain Based Component:
 
There are three basic human motor movements: rolling, crawling/walking, and jumping. These directly correspond with the way that information travels in the brain: side to side across the corpus callosum, back to front across the motor cortex and up and down from the bottom to the top of the brain. The brain uses its motor patterns as the framework for other learning. 
 
The body’s motor, balance and vestibular systems must be developed properly in order for the brain  to process information efficiently. If a child did not crawl or roll enough, for example, the brain may have missed a step in developing and/or practicing processing information and the brain will struggle to learn. Physical education gives the student the opportunity to practice and rewire those systems to give the brain needed processing mechanisms
