Empowering Learning : Visual Learning for Visual Children
OVERVIEW
The Empowering Learning programme has been designed to simply teach the brain effective skills
to overcome the symptoms of learning difficulties. It is a different approach to improving spelling and reading
and it dramatically reduces the challenges of Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, and Dyspraxia.
Children with learning difficulties are highly visual but they cannot control their visual field and are unable to
concentrate. The simple skills taught in this programme will allow you to work with children to:
• Become fluent at reading and spelling through developing the skill to ‘see’ words in their minds eye –
a skill all good readers and spellers have.
• Improve concentration and motor skills through learning to stabilise their visual memory.
• Become confident that they have the ability to spell.
HOW DOES IT WORK
• Empowering Learning teaches children how to use their visual skills to learn.
• Will show you how children learn visually
• Focuses on what the child can do rather than what they can’t do.
• Shows each child how to get into the best emotional state to learn
• Helps parents and teachers build the child’s confidence.
`
LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Parents and teachers will have the techniques to work with children who have learning difficulties
which will vastly improve their spelling and literacy.
• Classroom behaviour will improve and frustration will abate.
• You will have an understanding of how to support children’s learning needs.
THE COURSE
This one day course will take place from 10am-2pm. It is recommended that there is a parent or teacher in
attendance with each child one child as the majority of the course is based on the practical application of the
Empowering Learing techniques.
The skills and techniques work in any language and the improvement in the children’s spelling will
be apparent by the end of the day.
