ABL Spaces are designed for schools, early childhood centers, therapy programs, fitness centers and after-school initiatives that want to bring movement and learning together. They can be customized for pre-K through high school, supporting general education, special education, and intervention and fitness programs.

An ABL Space is a dynamic learning environment where students rotate through stations that integrate movement, academics, and brain-based activities. Each station is built around one of the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness, targeting skills like balance, coordination, rhythm, problem-solving, and cross-lateral movement—all while reinforcing core academics.

Unlike gyms or standard classrooms, ABL Spaces are purposefully designed with brain-based movement tools. Instead of focusing only on fitness or academics, they bridge both: students move while practicing math facts, literacy skills, or critical thinking. The result is a space that promotes whole child development—academic, physical, and social-emotional.

Each Space is customized, but may include:

• Pedal desks and active seating to keep students engaged
• Balance boards and stability equipment for focus and coordination
• Kinesthetic learning stations aligned with math, reading, and writing skills
• Gross motor stations like agility ladders, floor markers, and cardio-based tools

ABL provides a turnkey setup, including curriculum guides and teacher training.

ABL Spaces are scalable to fit your school’s needs. Some schools dedicate a full classroom, gym, or media center, while others create smaller “mini-spaces” in existing rooms. Our team works with you to design a layout that maximizes impact in the space you already have.

Yes. ABL Spaces are built on the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness, which target critical developmental skills often linked to academic struggles. By filling in gaps like cross-lateral movement, balance, or rhythm, ABL Spaces help students overcome barriers that may affect reading, writing, and classroom behavior.

Every ABL Space includes professional development for teachers and facilitators. Training covers how to run the stations, adapt activities for different grade levels, and measure outcomes. Staff leave with the confidence to use the space daily as a tool for student success.

Schools using ABL Spaces consistently report:

• Improved academic performance (higher test scores and comprehension)
• Better behavior and classroom engagement
• Increased physical fitness and coordination
• Stronger confidence and social-emotional skills in students

Many schools fund ABL Spaces through federal and state education grants, Title I/IV funding, ESSER funds, special education allocations, or local partnerships. ABL provides grant assistance and sample language to make the application process easier.
