The level of the student’s motivation to achieve their goals is critical to the success of the programme. Your child will first be shown how to find the relaxed and focused state which is suitable for reading and other studies. Once this has been learned, they will be ready to build the skills that will allow them to overcome their difficulties. They are taught how to recognize and control the thought process that leads to distorted or confused perceptions. An understanding of how to achieve this focussed state makes it easier for the student to keep their attention on the task in hand.

A high-energy student is also shown how to be aware of their internal clock and energy level. This technique provides the student with an imagined regulator so that they gain personal control over the setting of their internal clock. This tool is particularly useful for hyperactive children. Distorted perceptions do more than just create symptoms of dyslexia.

The dyslexic or ADD child may be find it difficult to know if their memories came from real events or their imaginary world. This makes it difficult to learn basic lessons of life. Once they have been shown how to understand this, they will be less anxious and have a clearer understanding of appropriate behaviour.
