REAL Changes for Struggling Students
Have you ever fallen short on a New Year’s resolution? Yep! I know I have. New Year’s resolutions usually fall by the wayside because we don’t have a strong enough reason to make the change, or we don’t have a plan to get us through the tough parts of creating a new habit.
Our students with learning and attention challenges have a very strong reason to make a change. They are smart, but struggling – working harder and longer than their peers day after day. It affects how they feel about themselves; it may affect friendships; and it affects their time, their future, and their families.
Learning and attention challenges can change, but it’s going to take more than a New Year’s Resolution.
Why Learning Challenges Can Change
When bright children and adults struggle with learning and attention, there are almost always weak underlying processing/learning skills that are not supporting them well enough. These are skills such as auditory and visual processing, memory, sensorimotor processing, processing speed, language comprehension, reasoning, and executive function.
If you have been told, as a parent or a struggling student, that learning challenges (including dyslexia and learning disabilities) are permanent and you just have to learn to get around them, you have been told wrong.
Most Challenges Can Be Corrected
Most learning and attention challenges can be dramatically improved or completely corrected. Is it easy? No. Is it quick? Not necessarily. But it is possible and permanent!
