Have you ever seen a dyslexic cat? Or a dyspraxic horse? Or a lion with ADHD? No. And the reason is, they spend their lives on all fours. Every step of their lives is spent on their fronts, not their backs like human babies.From newborn kittens and puppies that lay on their fronts, eyes tight shut, head to the side, or searching for milk, to foals and baby giraffes that are literally born able to walk, their lives are spent face down. Right from the earliest opportunity these four legged animals are establishing the correct nerve pathways needed for an optimally functioning brain.
Compare human babies: put to sleep on their backs, in a car seat, face up under an ‘exercise bar’, they spend much less time on their backs. Some of these children suffer as a result by not getting the amount of facedown movement they require. Then they don’t crawl, then they are dyslexic at school. So human babies miss opportunities to develop the proper nerve pathways by being in the wrong position.
Now, it will be obvious to you that learning difficulties are multifactorial; fevers during early life can cause breaks in the brain wiring, as can viruses the mother has while she is pregnant. Then there are hereditary tendencies.And so on.
So what can be done? Our brains learn by movement. Did you learn to drive by sitting at a desk being taught? Or learn dance from a book? No, you did it by doing. And if you have a learning issue then it can be helped by doing certain movements that a baby or infant would have done. Dyslexia is a sensory issue. Not an IQ one. The senses control our ability to read. Our vision and balance has to be working properly for us to scan a word, or a page. That’s how my programme works. It corrects problems in the senses.
When my son was diagnosed with dyslexia, my father told me that he was stuck with it, because that is what he had been taught. He is a dyslexia teacher and that is what they taught him, so many people believe that. I didn’t believe that. I wanted to understand what was going on for my son, then to find a way to help him.
When I discovered that dyslexia was a sensory issue, not a mystery, I knew I was on the right path to finding answers.
Sensory you ask? Yes. To be able to read you have to able to keep your head still and move your eyes to follow a moving object. This is called tracking. That is why children with dyslexia often can’t catch: they can’t follow the ball with their eyes.
Many dyslexic and dyspraxic children can’t ride a bike because their balance isn’t developed properly.
These are eyes and ears things (as well as cerebellum and other parts of the brain such as the pons): sensory.
Correcting the senses diminishes the problems encountered by these children. They are no longer dyslexic.
Movements that replicate the developmental stages, are repeated: knowledgeable intervention.
I show you how to do it. There is no equipment needed for most of the programme, it’s on the floor. I bought my spinning chair for £8 in a junk shop. It’s not expensive to do this programme but it is effective. And improvements happen fast.
