Knowledge
Everybody learns, understands, processes and retains information from using either the right brain or left brain. In our mainstream educational environment, we teach children study methods using mainly left-brain techniques. This can contribute to the loss of the potential of right brain dominant children.
General Study Methods
The general methods used for studying focuses on left brain techniques such as sitting in quiet, at a desk, using key words and phrases or summarizing a body of work. These techniques don’t work for right brain dominant learners. Furthermore, learners with reading or learning even ADHD experience with left brain techniques or conventional study methods and programs.
Difficulties (in learning for right brain children)
- Most traditional methods rely on a certain level of reading proficiency and skills.
- They have greater skill with right brain activities such as shapes and colours than left brain activities such as key words, questions and paraphrasing.
- They experience greater difficulty with abstract language and concepts.
- They struggle with memory lapses and information recall, which poses a problem in performing Orals.
- They present with specific memory deficits such as recognising information and recall. Most existing study methods rely largely on the latter.
- They struggle with synthesis and therefore conceptualising a chapter which causes them to get lost in the detail of information. As a result they end up providing irrational answers.
Solution (for all learners)
The introduction of right brain study techniques as a learning skill can provide children who struggle to study in the conventional way, with an equal opportunity to achieve their potential in the mainstream educational environment.
- It takes the stress away from doing Orals and Speeches.
- This method works primarily with RECALL.
- It adjusts to and accommodates right brain orientated children through images rather than through words.
- Once the techniques are learned, the child can adapt the method to his own style of learning.
- The study time needed is reduced allowing for more time for repetition and enforcement.
- Abstract concepts are creatively entrenched in the memory.
- Spelling techniques are adopted.
- Once children experience success with this new technique, studying becomes less threatening and instils self confidence!
The course consists of:
- Two full consecutive days.
- Attention is given to association learning and not verbal techniques.
- A course overview will be provided at the end of the 2nd day.
- A follow up session will be arranged after three months to review learners performance.
- Traditional time planning, rosters and revision do not form part of this course.
Course Fees
Group R2500.00 per child
Individual R4250.00 per child

Benefits
- We adopt the course to the group or individual that attends it.
- It is suitable for children from grade 4 – 12.
- We use existing syllabus material for exercises and examples.
- Follow-up sessions allow for new skills to be reviewed and revised, creating maximum impact for the child in his/her new learning experience.
'THIS PROGRAM HAS PROVEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE RIGHT BRAIN ORIENTATED, HAVE READING DIFFICULTIES OR LEARNING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, LEARNERS WHO ARE LEFT BRAIN ORIENTATED ALSO BENEFIT FROM USING TECHNIQUES SET IN BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN SPHERES, GIVING THEM A GREATER SKILL PLATFORM.'
