Description

Unique learners struggle to do what others find simple. Their efforts to “try harder” don’t help. That’s because their struggle isn’t a result of laziness or lack of trying. Rather, their struggle is literally inside their own brains and bodies.

When children struggle in school they often feel shame that they are not what they “should” be; not “normal.” In fact, the term learning disability seems to reinforce their belief and suggests that they are unable to learn. Nothing could be further from the truth. They just learn in unique ways. The capabilities and talents of this population are frequently overlooked because their skills and abilities are often not relevant to the requirements of traditional education.

Unique Learner Solutions provides strategies that are targeted to what is really happening in the brains and bodies of unique learners. Parents and teachers can use these solutions to help their unique learner make significant improvement and help them understand the “why” behind the child’s behaviors and attitudes. Knowledge is power, and when you know what is really going on with your child and what you can do to help, it makes a huge difference. This will not only make a difference in their scholastic world but also in their family life both now and in the future.
