Right Brained Leaners

The mental/cognitive learning style of children diagnosed with autism is primarily through the senses and involves learning through experience and awareness. For these highly visual kids, picture cues and gestural cues are often very helpful in following structured linear directions. Traditional educational approaches primarily focus on the development of left brained skills, which can be very frustrating to this right- brained population. This form of education also has a tendency to focus on the mind and the body with no attention at all placed in the realm of spirit or energy. – excerpt from “Understanding the Mental/Cognitive Experience of Awesome Kids” by Suzy Miller.
