Education – Celebrate Cerebrodiversity
I discovered this as a result of a connection made after posting on rebranding Dyslexia (http://simbeckhampson.com/2012/02/10/dyslexia-rebranded/), it all makes perfect brain sense to me; we all learn differently – perhaps those in the echelons of Education need to better understand that… and so the serendipitous journey continues.
"If your child is a different kind of learner, consider these points:
1. Don't panic or fret. Weaknesses in one area are often counterbalanced by strengths in another area. Do what you need to strengthen the weakness, and celebrate and honor the strengths.
2. Recognize that assembly line learning, common standards and evaluating success by traditional testing may not be the best choice for your child.
3. Educate yourself on your child's differences. You are their champion and their advocate. The more you know about your situation, whether it's dyslexia or ADHD, the better position you are in to reach them.
4. Finally, celebrate cerebrodiversity!
In homeschooling, there is no failure – only progress in the direction of their path."
