Lisa, herself, grew up struggling with the effects of dyslexia as did three of her five sisters. Her oldest son, Alex was diagnosed with orthographic dyslexia in 2005. Britton, Courtney and Darian later showed symptoms of Dyslexia and/or ADHD but with timely intervention they were able to avoid any serious problems in school.
Together, Lisa and Gerry researched and tried a number of tutoring approaches, phonics programs, therapies and other interventions. before finally combining several disciplines into a successful and integrated program for each of their children.
“Like many parents of children struggling with learning challenges, I investigated many of the purported treatments available and I tried several with limited success.”
“What I came to realize was that many well-meaning therapists, counselors and tutors simply did not understand the complexities of these learning challenges. They were seemingly unable to grasp the basic concept that different does not mean broken. Even the so-called ‘research-based programs’, seemed ineffective with the particular issues facing our children. ”
In 2006, after achieving success with his own children and several of their classmates, Gerald founded the Neuro-Linguistic Learning Center in El Dorado Hills, California. Since then, he has been assisting both children and adults in overcoming a variety of learning challenges.
The Neuro-Linguistic Learning Center helps children and adults overcome many of the symptoms associated with a variety of learning challenges, including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, Auditory Processing Disorder, SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) and Sensory Integration Disorder.
Clients of the Neuro-Linguistic Learning Center range in age from 2 years old to 54. Their challenges may include symptoms of Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, Sensory Integration Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, fears and phobias, procrastination and many other learning challenges.
About his experience as Director of the Learning Center, Gerald says, “Ultimately, it was my personal experience with the many children and adults who came to the Learning Center which helped provide a real understanding of these challenges and ultimately resulted in our ability to provide effective and life-changing solutions for our clients.”
Gerald is a frequent speaker/lecturer on education and learning disabilities. He is author of the book, "Gifted--Not Broken: Overcoming Dyslexia, ADD and other Learning Challenges." |
