What is an Indo Board?
The original Indo Board package
includes:
-Indo Board (18”x30” oval ply-wood).
Textured on the top side, smooth on
the bottom with slates on the ends
used for keeping the roller under the
Indo Board.
-IndoFlo cushion (14” round nylon).
Textured on bottom, adjustable
inflation to meet the needs of all
students. Less air, more stable. More
air, less stable.
-Roller (6.5”x19” hard plastic cylinder).
The roller has 3 sections of grip tape
to help keep the Indo Board from
rotating off the roller.
Indo Board Set-Up
-Have mat, carpet, or padding at each
station. The thicker the material, the
slower the roller moves.
-Make sure Indo Boards are not in line with
other stations.
-Have IndoFlo cushion and/or rollers at each
station depending on activities.
-Have supplemental equipment at each
station depending on activities. (Beanbags,
balls, or juggling cubes)
IndoFlo Cushion
-Start with 1 breath of air in cushion.
-Reduce air to make more stabile.
-Increase air to make less stabile.
-Easy to adjust for all ability levels.
-Limit adjustments if it becomes
problematic.
