Notes de l'éditeur
1) Through assessments, we find that these are very bright students. 2) And yet their brains processes information differently. These are not defective brains in any way, but of they will come at information in a way that may not match the main stream learner. 3) The result is difficulties in these areas as they all require that a person be good at processing huge amounts of information. They may have difficulty with just one, or some, or all of these areas. 4) And yet these individuals have great abilities. They may just not be able to prove it on paper. What they are good at may not show up in these areas. Their type of intelligence may not be evident or valued in the academic forum. Example: Standardized Tests do not test for creativity and yet it is vital to have this skill to be successful in the business field, as well as many other fields. 5) It is very common. 1 – 10 Canadians have these wonderfully unique brains and that is due to the strong hereditary factor… 6) If a person has difficulty with processing information there is a 50-50 chance that so did one of their parents. 7)It is lifelong, but not a life sentence. The way it impacts on a persons life is directly related to how many supports and strategies that they have in place. 8) We do acknowledge that there is a wide range, the more severe, the more areas of learning it is going to impact on a person throughout their life. Schools are geared to teach the majority of students in a specific way, not for the child with a learning variance.

This is an excellent example of the different way that our brains can process visual information. We are looking at exactly the same image, but our brain will work out the best way to process the information. The sharp image of Einstein is dominant in our vision close up, but then the blurred image of Monroe takes dominance at a distance.
