I have noticed since having the MultiBall a lot of my special needs kids gravitate to the MultiBall. It’s immersive experience and hands on activities is very enticing to almost all kids. Sometimes the environment can be a little too much for some, but MultiBall’s customizable options can reduce noise, and the lights as well to make it fitting for all students. The kids really like the video game environment, they hardly even know they are practicing different PE skills while playing the games! Houston TX
