Partnering with communities and organizations to radically improve children’s health, wellness and education through movement-based learning solutions rooted in neuroscience. How can we teach reading, math, social studies, and science while standing up? ABL uses kinesthetic teaching strategies that teach specific academic concepts in a teacher friendly, time efficient, fun way that has proven results for a positive learning experience. Students engaged in Action Based Learning™ improve memory retention, reinforce academic concepts, balance brain chemicals while experiencing whole-brain, whole-body learning. Educational research suggests that about 85% of school age students are predominantly kinesthetic learners. The concepts in the Action Based Learning™ Lab are based on the brain research that supports the link of movement and physical activity to increased academic performance. The Action Based Learning™ Primary Lab targets the young developing brain ages 4-7 years. However, the Action Based Learning™ Lab benefits all students for remediation and enrichment. Brain science strongly supports the link of movement to learning. The brain and body’s movement and learning systems are interdependent and interactive. For example, motor development provides the framework that the brain uses to sequence the patterns needed for academic concepts. The body’s vestibular system controls balance and spatial awareness and facilitates the student's ability to place words and letters on a page. When a student walks or crawls on the ABC Pathways mat in specific patterns, the brain’s ability to encode symbols is increased. The four visuals fields needed for eye tracking is strengthened. Proper development and remediation of these systems are critical to a child's’ ability to learn. As of August 2016, Kidsfit and Action Based Learning merged. Kidsfit has developed more than 200 different types of fitness products for children, selling direct nationwide and providing distributors in 5 continents. By sticking close to our mission, Kidsfit has become the leading developer and manufacturer of youth fitness equipment in the United States! We are proud to be a MADE IN THE USA manufacturer, which allows our team to continually develop new products and transform to meet the needs of children across the world. Kidsfit and Action Based Learning is continuing the training division. Kidsfit's training division has developed a team of Master Presenters, providing workshops worldwide, for teachers of all levels, nurses, OTs, PTs, parents, administrators, curriculum developers, and youth program coordinators.
