NDIS Goals & Independence
- Graded Dual-Height Design: Includes 3 large high-angle stones and 3 small low-angle stones to progressively challenge balance and coordination.
- Integrated Anti-Slip Rubber Rim: Continuous rubber base edging grips securely to carpet, timber, tiles, and grass while protecting indoor floors.
- Promotes Motor Planning & Spatial Awareness: Encourages deliberate foot placement, distance estimation, and joint stability across custom pathways.
- Sensorimotor & Proprioceptive Input: Provides essential vestibular and deep pressure feedback through stepping, jumping, and weight shifting.
- Nestable Stackable Storage: Compact design allows all 6 stones to nest together for neat storage and easy clinic or school transport.
Supports That Work Together
The GONGE River Stones Set is an occupational therapy and physiotherapy-grade assistive gross motor tool designed to support dynamic balance, postural control, motor planning (praxis), and spatial orientation. For NDIS participants living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, sensory processing differences, Developmental Coordination Disorder (dyspraxia), or lower-limb stability challenges, estimating distances, coordinating weight transfer, and navigating variable terrain can be difficult. Widely utilized in paediatric clinics and school sensory programs, this 6-piece balance system provides a structured, progressive framework for balance rehabilitation, sensory diets, and physical therapy in home and clinic environments.
Engineered with varied triangular slopes and two distinct heights, the stones alter the angle of foot placement with every step, activating the body's natural balance and righting reflexes. The set features three large stones (approx. 38 x 37 x 8.5 cm) and three small stones (approx. 26 x 26 x 4.5 cm) in six vibrant colours. Each stone is fitted with an integrated anti-slip rubber rim along its base, ensuring stability on timber, tile, carpet, or outdoor turf while preventing indoor floor scuffing. The durable, stackable design allows easy nesting and transport, enabling therapists, educators, and families to design tailored obstacle courses that develop sensorimotor abilities, motor confidence, and proprioceptive awareness.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
- Dynamic Balance & Joint Stability: Stepping across sloping triangular surfaces engages ankle, knee, and hip stabilisers, helping participants develop postural stability and safe walking patterns.
- Motor Planning & Spatial Awareness: Navigating variable stone heights and distances requires participants with dyspraxia to visually judge space, plan body movements sequentially, and coordinate foot placement.
- Sensorimotor & Proprioceptive Regulation: Stepping, jumping, and weight shifting deliver essential proprioceptive and vestibular input, assisting participants with sensory processing needs to self-regulate.
- Confidence & Emotional Robustness: Mastering progressive physical challenges in a structured, safe layout fosters personal self-confidence and reduces physical hesitation in daily living.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two Graded Stone Elevations: Includes 3 large high-angle stones and 3 small low-angle stones to vary elevation, challenge levels, and stepping distances.
- Continuous Anti-Slip Rubber Rim: Full perimeter rubber base grips securely to indoor floors and outdoor surfaces to eliminate slipping and protect flooring.
- Sloped Triangular Design: Varying angles challenge foot articulation and ankle strength, simulating uneven outdoor ground.
- Durable Commercial-Grade Build: Constructed from impact-resistant plastic engineered to withstand rigorous daily clinic, school, and home use.
- Nestable Stackable Storage: Stones nest neatly inside one another for space-efficient storage in cupboards or easy transport between therapy sessions.
- 6 Distinct Vibrant Colours: High-contrast colours support visual tracking, colour-coded jumping exercises, and cognitive sequencing activities.
