The 3D Learner Program ® for Neurodivergent, Right Brain and Kinesthetic Learners From All Over the US and Beyond

The 3D Learner Program ® for Neurodivergent, Right Brain and Kinesthetic Learners From All Over the US and Beyond

(Often Students Have Been Diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADHD and/or Executive Function Challenges)

3D Learner has helped hundreds of students from 40 different states and 12 foreign countries.  These students often were identified with dyslexia, ADHD or executive function issues.  Their parents were delighted to find a strength-based program that could teach to their child’s strengths, engage their child and result in significant gains in months.

Within our practice, we call these students a 3D Learner, that is they think in pictures and often in 3 dimensions.  From a diagnostic standpoint, one might call them neurodivergent, right brain or kinesthetic learners.

 

7 Keys to the Success of our 3D Learner Students From Outside Our Area

  • Very few programs focus on the strengths of these students.  Note, while we might use more common terms like neurodivergent, right brain or kinesthetic learners in describing these kids, when they are here we use the term GOLD Student — Gifted Operating with a Learning Difference.  Their gift is they learn differently and can do far better with a hands-on visual approach
  • We assess for and address dyslexia, attention and executive function challenges
  • We also assess for and address visual processing issues that are often present.  These students often have excellent peripheral vision, but their eyes do not converge when reading
  • We have 26 years of successes with these students and an excellent team.  Note, the 3D Learner Program was developed by Mira Halpert for our daughter.  Mira is an experienced educator, a mom who cares and a professional who is committed to helping our students succeed
  • The parents really like the concept of an intensive effort that will help their child and them with follow up support.
  • We help parents get the help their child needs at school
  • The quality of the parents who show up.  The students we see are often much smarter than present results would indicate, the parents want their child to succeed and together, we make it happen.

If you suspect this might be your child, we recommend downloading our Is my child a neurodivergent, right brain or kinesthetic learner screening tool.  Then sit down with your child and ask them the questions.  Their answers may surprise you.

 

3D Learner — Intensive Live Training With On-Going Support Via Zoom

Note, initially we did the program in 5 days, with ongoing support.  The results were very good.

Then, for clients east of the Mississippi, we started offering three days one week and two days 4 to 6 weeks later, with ongoing support.  This resulted in even greater gains.

Now we offer both options, with ongoing support via zoom.

The intensive training with ongoing support works quite well, because:

  • Intensive and integrated training works well for these students
  • The parents are immersed in the process, too
  • Family bonding is fun to watch and very helpful
  • The on-gong support maximizes the benefits of the effort

How this works.

Parents often realize they have a child who is a lot smarter than present results would indicate.  Parents also recognize that they want a transformational program that:

  • Engages their child in the process with a strength-based approach
  • Can generate significant results in months
  • Addresses dyslexia, attention, visual processing and anxiety challenges
  • Helps them to be even more effective coaches and advocates
  • Can transform their child into a much more successful student, while improving their confidence, their sports ability and their attitude towards learning and their own talent

 

Three ways to get started with 3D Learner

Parents give us a call at 561-361-7495 for a no cost conversation on how we might be able to help their child succeed.

  • The conversation is often helpful, even if the parents do not become clients.  What happens with interested parents is we often hear:
    • You really understand my child and me
    • I now understand how you can help my child succeed
  • If the parents want to move forward, we can do an online assessment and debrief, without their having to leave home
  • If the parents want to pursue the program, we find A mutually agreeable time.

 

Example of our successes:

  • A third grader was diagnosed with learning disabilities, ADHD and anxiety challenges.  The initial conversation convinced mom we were the right answer.   When talking with another mom, she was even more convinced.  Her daughter was able to:
    • Go from the lowest reading group in third grade to become the best reader in her fourth grade class
    • Get homework done in less than half the time
    • Flourish as a student and become both more successful and outgoing

They did the program in two parts.

 

  • A 5th grader from Texas had been through a very expensive dyslexia treatment (i.e. $34000 worth) but her comprehension was still at the first grade level.   With our help, she was able to:
    • Improve her reading comprehension 4 grade levels in 6 months
    • Decrease her homework time from 2.5 hours to 1.25 hours, and do it independently, for the first time
    • Blossom as a person

They did the program in 1 week.

 

  • More recently, a 7th grader from the State of Washington came to South Florida. With our help, he was able to:
    • Improve his reading comprehension 4 grade levels in 6 months
    • Become a star student
    • Do his work independently.

They did the program in a week, with on-gong support via zoom.

 

For all our out of area clients, we now recommend blending in person work with on-going support via zoom.

How to Improve Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension Leveraging the Florida Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities or the Personalized Education Program+++

(call us at 561-361-7495 and ask about our assessment special)

(Especially for right brain, kinesthetic and neurodivergent learners)

How to improve reading fluency and reading comprehension is a goal for many students who qualify for the Florida Empowerment Scholarship and the Personalized Education Program.

The term dyslexia has attracted a great deal of information.  Many parents invest in a dyslexia treatment.  Frequently this will improve a child’s reading fluency (i.e. how fluently a child reads out loud), but reading comprehension challenge persists.  At 3D Learner, we focus on how to improve reading fluency and reading comprehension with an integrated, engaging and effective program.  We also address executive function, visual processing and anxiety challenges.

3D Learner offers a focused assessment that can be done in person or online, that addresses the following questions:

  • Whether your child is a right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner.  For the child who learns differently, it really helps to know that and to find a program that leverages their strengths, identifies and addresses their challenges and helps your child to improve both their reading fluency and reading comprehension.
  • Whether your child has dyslexia — and where their reading fluency is strong and where they struggle.
  • What your child’s present level of reading comprehension is
  • Whether your child has a visual processing challenge — over 74% of the students we see either skip words and/or lines when reading
  • How to improve your child’s reading fluency and reading comprehension

To discuss how to improve your child’s reading fluency and reading comprehension call us at 561-361-7495 to discuss your specific situation.

3D Learner Results for Right Brain, Kinesthetic and Neurodivergent Students

We have helped a second grader to improve her reading comprehension 3 grade levels in 7 months
and a 9th grader to improve her reding comprehension 4 grade levels in 6 months.

 

A homeschool student had been through 2 years of dyslexia treatments, but her comprehension was still at the kindergarten level, even though she was in 2nd grade.

With our help, she was able to:

  • Significantly improve her reading fluency
  • Improve her reading comprehension by 2 grade levels in 4 months and by 3 grade levels in 7 months
  • Significantly improve her attention, visual processing, and confidence
  • Read 23-chapter books on her own, after not having read one previously
  • Go from a struggling dancer to the top group, because of their improved neural timing, working memory and confidence
A 9th grader improved her reading comprehension by 4 grade levels in 6 months.

Her mother commented: “Her reading comprehension has increased four grade levels, and she has increased her rate of reading by 100 words per minute. Her ability to comprehend what she is reading has also improved and she doesn’t hate reading for the first time in her life”.

 


For voucher students, we are offering the assessment – tutoring session with a separate parent consult, if you purchase one hour from 3D Learner through the Florida Empowerment Scholarship or the Personalized Education Program.  You can either:

Twice Exceptional Neurodivergent Learners are Often Right Brain Kinesthetic Learners with Executive Function Challenges

Twice Exceptional Neurodivergent Learners are Often Right Brain Kinesthetic Learners with Executive Function Challenges

(Call 3D Learner at 561-361-7495 to put your Twice Exceptional Student on Their Pathway to Success)

Twice exceptional” (2e) students refer to individuals who are both intellectually gifted or talented and may be neurodivergent learners with related challenges. This combination can present unique challenges and strengths in their learning experience. Twice exceptional neurodivergent learners may include those with conditions such as Executive Function issues, dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or other learning disabilities.

 

I am Mira Halpert.  I have my Master’s in Teaching the Gifted and Talented from the University of Michigan.  I also have two twice exceptional children.  After years of frustration with dyslexia treatments, learning centers and reading programs, I discovered both my kids were right brain kinesthetic learners.  With the 3D Learner Program I developed, my daughter was able to improve her reading comprehension 4.2 grade levels in 7 months, improve her GPA from a 2.7 to a 4.4 and later earn her Master’s in Education from the University of Florida. My son improved his reading scores in elementary school, so that no more school remediation was needed, and he was able to participate in the highly gifted math program.

 

Over the last 26 years, 3D Learner has helped many twice exceptional students to succeed.  Two examples include:

A student whose parents were told not to even apply to a rigorous college prep school, because if he got in he would not succeed. With our help, he was accepted by the school, became the valedictorian and later graduated from MIT.
While another student could solve high level math problems and was incredibly creative, he really struggled with the basics. We were able to improve his foundational skills and his confidence. He was able to succeed in school and is now thriving at the University of Chicago.

 

5 Things We Have Come to Learn About Twice Exceptional Neurodivergent Learners

 

1- Most of them are right brain kinesthetic learners, who learn best when they see and experience information

2- Many have significant executive function challenges.  Some with working memory and processing speed scores that are far below what their intelligence potential is (these scores often impact their IQ score!).

3- Visual processing issues are quite common.  They may have good peripheral vision, but they often skip words and lines when reading and make what appear to be “stupid” mistakes when doing math problems because their eyes do not work together.

4- Their academic performance is often far below their potential.  In some cases, dyslexia, dysgraphia or other conditions may have them performing below grade level.  In other cases, they may be performing at or above grade level, but they have the potential to do far better than that with the right help.

5- Schools or traditional programs often do not result in significant gains.  The twice exceptional neurodivergent learner can benefit most from a program that plays to their strengths, identifies and addresses their challenges and boosts their self-esteem,

As the mom of the student who went to MIT said, “You changed his attitude and that was 90 percent of the battle”.

Improve Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension for Your Right Brain, Kinesthetic or Neurodivergent Learner

Improve Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension for Your Right Brain, Kinesthetic or Neurodivergent Learner

At 3D Learner, we focus on Getting It Right for students who are right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learners, who often struggle with reading fluency and reading comprehension.  Note, math and anxiety are often challenges, too.

In this post pandemic period, reading fluency and reading comprehension are major issues for many students.  Math has become an even bigger problem, as reading comprehension issues are compounded by their lack of foundational skills.

As one parent commented, “The best time to intervene was a couple of years ago, the second best time is today”.  

While the risks and opportunities are greater than ever, the key point is that it is 

Up to Parents to Make The Difference

Is your child a bright right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner?  Does this describe your child:

  • Does your child remember places visited, even from years ago?
  • Does your child learn best when he or she sees and experiences information?
  • Is your child a lot smarter than present results would indicate?
  • Does your child struggling with reading fluency, reading comprehension, math and/or anxiety
  • Would you like to know how you can help your child to be far more successful, within months

 

This is the first in a 5-part series to Get It Right For Your Right Brain, Kinesthetic or Neurodivergent Learner.

This blog post will focus on the risks and opportunities facing parents and kids, and the unique role parents play in making the difference.

For the right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner,
it is up to the parents to make the difference

 

The second blog post will focus on the key Insights about these kids.  Their unique strengths, challenges and their present level of performance — with a focus on both reading fluency and reading comprehension.

 

The third blog post will focus on Setting BOLD Goals for your bright right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner.

 

The fourth blog post will focus on Getting the Right Help to Get It Right for your bright right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner.

 

The last blog post will focus on the benefits of Taking Massive Action to Get It Right for your bright right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner.

 

The 7 biggest risks the right brain, kinesthetic and neurodivergent learners face are:

  • They avoid silent reading and their reading fluency and reading comprehension gaps widen.
  • Parents invest in a dyslexia treatment, which may be needed, but they do not realize these programs often do not address reading comprehension, visual processing and related skills.
  • The right brain, kinesthetic and neurodivergent learners learn best when they see and experience information.  These students often do not make the desired progress with traditional tutoring and other interventions that do not leverage their skills.
  • These students often have visual processing, auditory processing and/or executive function issues (e.g. attention, working memory and processing speed) that are often not identified or addressed.
  • Anxiety and frustration increase each year and their self-esteem and confidence declines.
  • Reading fluency and reading comprehension issues start to impact a student’s performance in all other subjects.
  • Parents change schools – often moving their child to a charter or private school.  While these settings may help, they rarely address the reading fluency and reading comprehension issues. 

 

3D Learner has been helping students to improve their reading fluency and reading comprehension for 28 years.  We have also been working with prior voucher programs for close to 10 years.

 

Opportunities for Right brain, Kinesthetic or Neurodivergent Learners with Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension Issues

  • The right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner can often increase their reading comprehension by 2 or 3 grade levels within months
  • Reading fluency gains can be significant
  • Improvements in attention, visual processing and working memory can improve academic, athletic and related skills
  • Anxiety and frustration can often be reduced, and the students can become far more confident and resilient

 

An Example Where a Student Needed far More Than a Dyslexia Treatment

Maria had been through two years of dyslexia treatments but was still struggling with reading fluency; her reading comprehension was two years below grade level, and she avoided reading.

Mom called us and in the first few minutes, we realized her daughter was a right brain learner, who learned best when she saw and experienced information and that she appeared to have a visual processing issue.

Further testing confirmed the learning difference and visual processing issue and revealed this second grade had some reading fluency issues and her reading comprehension was at the kindergartener level.

With our help, her reading fluency improved, her reading comprehension improved 2 grade levels in 4 months and 3 grade levels in 7 months, and she read 23-chapter books over this period.

 

Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension Gaps Can Be Larger for Older Student

Gina had a significant reading fluency and reading comprehension issue. It turned out her reading comprehension was 5 years below grade level, and she was struggling with her homeschool curriculum.

With our help, her reading fluency improved, her reading speed doubled, she improved her reading comprehension 4 grade levels in 6 months, and she was able to do all her schoolwork.

 

The Path to Improving Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension Starts with Asking the Right Questions

We often start with 5 key questions:

  1. Is reading fluency an issue for your child?
  2. What is your child’s present level of reading comprehension?
  3. Is your child a right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner?  Note, many students who struggle with reading fluency and reading comprehension are a right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner, who learn best when they see and experience information.
  4. Does your child have a visual processing issue?  74 percent of our students skip words and lines when reading.  People will argue that visual processing does not cause dyslexia — that is true.  However, a visual processing issue makes reading very difficult and often leads to students avoiding silent reading.   
  5. Did you realize that you can leverage the Florida Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities to help your child to significantly improve his or her reading fluency and reading comprehension in months?


We are offering a focused assessment that addresses the following.  

  • Your child’s reading fluency strengths and challenges, using the UFLI Core Assessment ®- the University of Florida’s Literacy Institute’s Assessment

  • Your child’s present level of reading comprehension

  • Whether your child appears to be a right brain, kinesthetic or neurodivergent learner

  • Whether your child appears to have a visual processing issue

  • How you might can capitalize on your child’s strengths and address their challenges to significantly improve your child’s reading fluency and reading comprehension issues in months
