1 in 6 have a learning disability.
A free information evening is available to anyone interested in finding out about a program that has been developed internationally to help anyone of any age who has difficulty learning.
The program is offered by Dore. Your brain can be divided into distinct areas. Dore works on two of them – the ‘thinking centre’ (cerebrum) and the ‘skill development centre’ (cerebellum). Although the cerebellum is only the size of a small orange, it’s very important, containing half of our brain cells.
Scientific research has recently identified that the cerebellum plays a major role in the process of learning and automating of skills. However, the efficiency of the cerebellum varies between individuals, which mean some people find it easier to learn skills than others.
When the ‘skill centre’ is not working as efficiently as it should, it does not communicate adequately with the ‘thinking centre’. Result – problems in making a whole range of skills automatic, like riding a bike, playing an instrument or typing.
Peter Sargent, General Manager for New Zealand spoke to John Grant about the program being offered and why it is a good idea to come to the free information evening.
