Promotes “Vision Hygiene” when reading and working An effective sloping work surface must be tilted at an angle between 20 and 23 degrees from the horizontal. The Visual Edge Slant Board rests at 22 degrees, the optimum angle. Reduce Stress The Visual Edge Slant Board in combination with the proper sitting height allows you to naturally move into a posture that is conducive to a better learning environment. You will naturally sit more upright and bend your head less. This will lead to a reduced heart rate, a more regular and deeper breathing pattern and reduced neck muscle and overall body tension. Improve Penmanship When you write on a flat surface you utilize only the muscles in your wrist. When you raise your arm up at an angle you incorporate the use of your forearm muscles. Thus giving you more control and having less fatigue. Read more Reduced Eye Fatigue When doing any visual task on a flat surface your brain has to work harder as it scans down the page because the angle at which your brain perceives the symbols and or images is changing. The angle of 22 degrees reduces strain on your eyes because the text remains in focus down the entire page. Lower Blood Pressure & Improve Heart Rate Due to your improved posture, less stress is placed on your body resulting in lower blood pressure. An additional benefit of your improved posture is the reduced effort required to get blood to your brain resulting in a lower heart rate. Improved Comprehension As shown by research, the appropriately slanted work surface will present all text characters and images at the same prospective. Because your brain is working less to interpret text, it is easier for you to understand what you have just read. Read more The Visual Edge Story: How It all Began Visual Edge started from an event that affected the life of one of my children. My daughter Delaney was first diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from an auto accident, resulting in a visual processing problem. As part of my daughter’s Individual Education Program (IEP) my wife and I were told we had to purchase a slant board to help Delaney cope with her processing issues. The only slant board available at that time was a large and bulky wooden board. We purchased this board and it became a permanent fixture on her school desk. The Big Problem My daughter was devastated by the presence of this large, obtrusive board. It was a constant reminder to her and the rest of her class of her learning disabilities. Since it was not portable and took up her entire desk space, accomplishing class projects became difficult. Her teacher had to find another work station to accommodate her, making Delaney feel even more of an outcast in her classroom. Visual Edge Slant Boards the Solution? I empathized with my daughter and wanted her to feel comfortable at school, thus starting my quest to find a more functional slant board. After extensive research, I could not find a single board that would fit her needs. I decided then and there to develop my own slant board. After thoroughly researching the fundamentals of a slant board, I designed my first prototype. Visual Edge a Success! My daughter was ecstatic, because she could now fold the legs of her Slant Board and place it in her school desk. Delaney’s teacher was ecstatic because she now had my daughter’s desk space back. Furthermore Jean her vision therapist, was ecstatic because she now had a much more compact, and versatile slant board. As the word spread about my VISUAL EDGE slant board, there were hundreds of requests to purchase my board from doctors, therapists and parents of children with reading and other processing problems.
