Booth Learning Development Centre offers comprehensive
assessments and individualised programs for learning difficulties and performance enhancement including: iLs sensory integration,
one-on-one tutoring, study skills and cognitive development.
Learning can be easier
If
you or your child has a difficulty with learning, you want to improve your learning or communication skills or feel that you
are not performing to your potential in your studies or work, contact me and I will happily discuss your needs.
How does iLs work?
For most of us, when someone talks about hearing abilities, we think primarily
of the processing that occurs in the ear, the ability to detect the presence of sound. However, auditory processing “what
we do with what we hear” is the ability of the brain to process incoming auditory signals.
An
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) can affect an individual’s ability to develop normal language skills, succeed academically
or communicate effectively.
iLs programs effectively “re-train” parts of the brain involved in auditory
processing, learning, communication and moving by combining specific auditory stimulation with specific visual and balance
stimulation to strengthen neurological pathways and improve the ability to learn and to process information.
Why use a multi-sensory program?
The vestibular (balance), cochlear (hearing)
and visual are our three main systems for organising sensory input, and they are very interrelated. Stimulating all three
simultaneously is a holistic approach which requires the brain to become better at processing multi-sensory input. This capacity
is needed if you are to perform well at school or work.
Who can benefit?
iLs programs can be used to improve the following situations:·
Learning difficulties
Reading, writing, phonemic awareness
Auditory processing and Language Skills
Concentration and attention
Balance and motor
coordination
High functioning autism
iLs
can also help children and adults who are clumsy, poorly coordinated, over-emotional, disorganised or those who behave poorly.The efficiency
of any program depends on the person’s motivation, persistence, support and willingness to follow directions.
Tutoring
One-on-one tutoring
programs are individualised to focus on the learner’s needs. School Student’s programs are NSW Board of Studies
curriculum based to help the student work through concepts and topics that may have been missed or struggled with at school.
Programs can also be designed to help develop effective study skills through learning planning strategies and organisational
skills for exams and assessments. These programs are individualised to the student’s needs and are suitable for primary,
secondary and tertiary students.
Often difficulties in classroom learning and exam performance are related to an
underlying sensory processing deficit effecting language skills. To help student’s perform to their potential,
tutoring and study skills programs can be run simultaneously to an iLs program.
Early intervention is best but it’s
never too late to discover your potential.
