What if we taught children the way the brain actually learns?
The days of a one size fits all model in education are OVER, and it is time that we started to really understand the importance of adapting our educational practices to be more aligned with a child's actual neurotype.
We have go to work with them - NOT against them.
In fact, the more we try to go against a child's natural wiring - the more we risk the change of damaging their self esteem and love for learning.
Dyslexia is a neurotype - one to be celebrated and embraced- and today we learn more about we can support kids with their learning and use a multi sensory approach. The more lines of sensory input we can inject into an activity, the more chance a dyslexic child has of retaining that knowledge.
And can we all just remember, that being neurodivergent has got nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with how we receive, process and retain information.
