Learning Problems and Dyslexia.
 Not a Life Sentence
 
Dyslexia and related learning issues are complex problems, sometimes hereditory, but often being developmental in nature building from some form of trauma.
 
Dyslexia is not an issue of low IQ, rather the oposite, many dyslectic learners have very high IQs but operate well below their potential in many importent school and work tasks, especially those involving Reading linked tasks.
 
The term Dyslexia covers a wide range of inappropriate learning patterns, some people exibit many of these indicators, some only a few.
Many dyslectic learners can in fact read, but usually the task of reading is so much harder than it should be  that Comprehension is very poor.
Many dyslectics would have to put in up to 10 times the effort to read a book, remember it or complete many related tasks than peers.
One of my key indicators is High IQ but poor Reading and Comprehension.
Many more boys than girls seem to have Dyslectic Learning patterns, but it is also true that girls tend to hide it better by using advanced social peer support groups.
Boys also tend to be more angry about their difficulty and will show it by their class mis behaviour, often showing ADHD type behaviours.
 
Most Dyslectic Learners will have a wide range of emotional issues tied into their long term failure at tasks others find easy. Their Self Esteem is usually low and they tend to have a poor opinions of themselves.
 
 
Whilst there is seldom a quick fix, positive learning change is possible, EFT, Cognitive Refocus and Brain Gym can reset Learning Skills and remove many barriers to Learning well. It is also possible to remove the emotional blocks and build self esteem.
 
 
My consultations using Brain Gym, Cognitive Refocus and EFT are usually fun sessions with most students noting change very quickly.
I also spend some time in each session teaching Self Help Skills so that the client can boost their own learning and reduce negative Emotional issues.
In between sessions the client has a series of both Physical and Mind exercises to keep up the momentum for change, these rarely take more than 15 minutes a day.
 
I assess each student, both for IQ, Learning Styles and often Reading Comprehension, then move into the Learning Change by using Brain Gym exercises, balances and EFT tapping. Parent are asked to complete an information survey on child clients.
I will only work with children who are happy to work with me. A parent or other adult must be present in all sessions.
