Many right-brained learners are diagnosed with a Learning Disability, a Reading Disability, Dyslexia or ADHD --their biggest challenge is that right-brained learners often have a complex set of challenges, including:
- Problems with sight word vocabulary and pattern recognition
- Tracking issues - right-brained learners often have tracking issues -- see this Gemstone Foundation video
- They are slow readers and behind in reading comprehension
A study of Secondary School Special Education Students found that:
- 41% are reading 3 to 4.9 years below grade level
- An additional 26% are reading 5 or more years below grade level
What's worse is that another study found that 55% of the children of college graduates are reading below grade level.
A study of 6000 students done by Dr. Paul Harris showed that 93% of the students in special education have a vision related issue. At 3D Learner, we have found that 72% of our clients have significant vision issues.
Visual perception issues cause students to skip words and lines when reading.
We have found that most of our students:
- Read slowly - often at half the speed of their peers, or worse
- Are 2, 3 or even 4 years below grade level
- Have a vision related issue that makes reading more difficult
Do best when you address both their reading and visual perception issues.
What surprises us the most is that:
- These problems occur frequently in the best families, where the kids go to excellent schools and have gotten extra help
- The visual perception issues are not often identified or addressed
- Most programs try to address either the visual perception or reading issue, when in fact we see ...The best results is a combination of the right reading and vision programs.
Depending on the student's profile, we offer either the Taylor Reading Plus® and/or the Gemstone Vision Skills Training Program®.
