Do you know exactly what support your child needs?

This morning I read two sales pitches each describing a miracle cure for learning difficulties.

The first suggested that learning difficulties resulted from disorders in how the brain worked, and presented a program that could retrain the brain to work in better and more efficient ways.

The second stated (note the word ’stated’ rather than ’suggested’!) that learning difficulties were not caused by brain disorders but by poor diet (eat more fish!) and visual processing problems.

Why did these statements grab my attention? Well, I think that they both might be right – learning problems are caused by a whole variety of things among which can be brain ‘disorders’ and lack of visual processing skills. And just for the record, I have always believed in eating more fish as a way of boosting brain power and ate sushi nearly everyday while writing my thesis!

So, if they both have good ideas about the causes of learning difficulties, and they both have good programs that support their beliefs (I assume they are good,but I have not used them), how are you, the parent, going to decide which program can help your child?

You need more information.

You need to know WHY your child is struggling to learn before you can decide WHAT to do about it. Once you know why your child has a learning difficulty, and it can be for one or more of a hundred reasons, then you can decide which approach will work best. That way you are not wasting money purchasing the wrong program. You will also be saved the frustration of trying to help your child in a way that does not work well.
