Course Description - Brain Gym in Action: Canadian International Summer Institute

Multiple Streams of Learning Workshop

With Maurine Maslen
Monday, August 1 and Tuesday, August 2

Course description: So many learning styles; so many levels of abilities; so many variations in learning difficulties. Left brain; right brain. Maybe the words "difficult, picky, oversensitive, clumsy, inattentive" can be used to describe some of these children. Maybe they are very artistic and creative. Maybe they cannot sit still. Maybe they have very messy writing, very poor spelling, and have difficulty reading and writing. Maybe they can read and write but do very little of either. No matter what the reason for any of these difficulties and/or differences, it is imperative to get the learner moving forward and to be making progress.
