Day 1
Learning Interventions and Strategies for
Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and
Right-Brain Thinkers
Visual-spatial learners have powerful right brain hemispheres, thinking and
learning in pictures as opposed to a step-by-step presentation of information. They
tend to grasp ideas as a complete whole, or big picture, and do not learn in smaller
steps of drill, practice or repetition. This innovative, new workshop takes you inside
the mind of the visual-spatial learner to view the classroom, and home through the
child’s eyes of complete concepts and pictures instead of words. Comprehensive
assessment tools will be outlined to identify the characteristics of the visual spatial
learner. Participants will learn methods to build auditory skills while teaching to the
visual strengths of the child.
