There could be many factors that could be affecting your child’s reading level, memory, or attention abilities. It could be a factor of underlying auditory processing problems… or the brain not optimized for learning… or other cognitive issues.

Not being motivated or organized, inability to plan, and general inattentiveness could be a sign of underlying cognitive weaknesses. It’s not that your child is dumb; there are just gaps in their cognitive functioning. They can’t self-regulate because their brain circuitry isn’t wired properly.

Not all of us develop all the circuitry necessary to successfully accomplish every task early in life. Underlying problems don’t go away unless they’re specifically targeted.

Neuroplasticity research shows that the brain can and does change with focused effort and practice, and brain circuitry improves through challenge and stimulation. With improved brain circuitry, academic content becomes easier to learn. When a new learning challenge is encountered, the brain has the proper circuitry in place to accomplish the task. Information is retained, and students are able to build on prior knowledge. Problem-solving skills increase and confidence soars. This can give hope to those struggling with dyslexia or other learning challenges.
