Beyond Tutoring: Tools for Overcoming ADHD |
|
Over the years, several methods have evolved which enable us through competent and patient coaching to alter the way a person processes information, thereby changing their personal experience of the world and effectively modifying their behavior. This “behavior modification” can be seen in the form of stress reduction, increased focus and attention, organization and increased memorization, to name just a few.
Most importantly, these methods allow us to embrace the paradigm that non-verbal (ADHD) children are gifted, rather than broken. These methods, by their very nature, work with, rather than against, the child’s natural abilities. In order to achieve a basic understanding of these methods, we will provide a brief history and explanation of these methods. _____________________________________
Transformational Grammar In this model, Professor Chomsky proposed that our language patterns were correlated to our subjective experience of the world rather than our objective experience. This subjective experience was shown to be directly related to identifiable and predictable thought processes whereby the sensory information of an objective experience is systematically deleted, distorted and/or generalized to create our subjective experience of ourselves and our world. _____________________________________
Neuro-Kinesis Neuro-Kinesis includes a variety of diagnostic tools as well as practical techniques to help alleviate some symptoms of ADHD, Dyslexia and other sensory-based learning challenges. If the child exhibits certain sensory integration issues or difficulties processing information across the midline, Neuro-Kinesis can be helpful.
Again, these general descriptions are not intended to fully explain the complexities of the various learning challenges or their respective treatments. Rather they are intended to help make the reader aware of at least some of the complexities in dealing with the various learning challenges and need for personalized, rather than “off-the-rack” learning programs. |

Neuro-Linguistics
Neuro-Linguistics, as a model, describes how we, as human beings, process, store and retrieve sensory input. Via the five senses, the human body receives over two million bits of information per second. Out of those two million bits, the human brain can consciously process only about 137 bits of information per second.
In order to process and condense that massive amount of information, the mind has evolved sophisticated mechanisms, or strategies, to delete, distort and generalize that input until it arrives at the 125 bits of information that is consciously processed and stored “in mind”. It is this small portion of the total experience that provides the basis for our subjective experience of the world and it is this subjective experience that determines our behaviors and responses.
Because many of the symptoms of ADHD and sensory-based learning challenges are the result of inappropriate strategies for selecting and storing information, Neuro-Linguistics provides powerful tools for overcoming many sensory-based learning challenges. _____________________________________
Neuro-Sensory Instruction In Neuro-Sensory Instruction one or more elements of a person’s sensory experience are fed back to him as a conscious awareness. As the person changes or adjusts his behavior, these adjustments are fed back to the person as they occur.
In working with ADD and ADHD, Neuro-Sensory Instruction can quickly help a child to modify his behavior, mitigate his stress response and improve his ability to focus.
