How To Tell the Difference Between AD/HD and Dyslexia (Part 1)

Time: Part 1 – 30 Minutes

Audience: Parents, specialists, tutors, and educators

Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Being able to differentiate between AD/HD and dyslexia is a critical skill for parents, specialists, tutors and educators. Because of what we now have confirmed through fMRI studies (brain studies), we know that each learning challenge must be treated differently…and effective planning is necessary whether your child or student is at school, home or with their tutor.

Because of what we know about how our brains are wired, we can make very powerful choices about how to support our kids very early on in their school years. Issues with AD/HD and/or dyslexia are clearly a result of specific, different neural pathways in the brain. That means we are better equipped to tailor our remediation plans directly to the issues your child or student is exhibiting.

It ends up being an act of kindness as well… because we can save our children from years of frustration, pain and confusion.

In Part One of this course, you will learn:
