Hello list,
My son is 21 years old. He is a Junior in college and struggles
despite
working extremely hard. After years of trying to determine why
learning is
so difficult for him, a neuropsychologist discovered that he does not
visualize AT ALL when he reads or when he listens.
I have read The Mosaic of Thought and have followed the mailing
list for a
couple months now trying to figure out how to help him.
We tried IdeaChain by Mindprime over the Summer and had some
success but
the work he is doing in college is much too abstract for me to try the
methods used in that program.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can help him with subjects like
Biology/Physiology, Statistics, or any other college level material?
Thank you!
Karen

Check out mswinston.com. Go to "Teachers", then "Reading Trifolds".
I was
just looking at them today, but there's a note on that page saying
that her
website is under reconstruction. Keep checking back. I'm using her
nonfiction trifold during a biography unit. It incorporates: text
features,
questioning, determining important facts, making connections,
summarizing &
interesting information. I'm using them in small groups.
She also has a general fiction trifold, as well as ones that are
specific to
books (Ready Freddy, Magic Tree House, etc).

Karen,
Has your son spoke with the Office of Disabilities at the college?
They are most helpful and can recommend avenues to pursue. If he
has been legally disagnosed as having a learning disability, he can
receive services of OofD and because of their efforts, his work can
be modified and instructors must adhere to the guidelines/
requirements set forth.
Seek their help first; otherwise, the frustration you and your son
feel will only exacerbate.k
Mary
