Learning is a combination of abilities such as visual and auditory processing, attention, memory and problem-solving, all correlated with different regions of the brain.
Learning Disorders are named according to the type(s) of difficulty(ies) presented by the child, which may include difficulties in reading, writing, and/or arithmetic. These disorders highlight difficulties in the learning process but also lead to emotional problems.
Children with Learning Disorders tend to have low self-esteem, anxiety, and little persistence in academic activities, which can result in resistance behaviors or even avoidance of tasks that confront them with difficulties. However, it should be noted that children do not differ from their peers in the desire to study and learn, but they have different needs that must be addressed.
Difficulties in learning vary among individuals, and therefore, diagnosis and treatment should be tailored to meet idiosyncratic characteristics.
At NeuroImprove Clinic, in addition to the neuropsychological assessment that evaluates the presence and severity of learning difficulties, we also assess brain activity through Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG). With the combination of all of the obtained information, we develop a personalized treatment plan focused on the needs and abilities of each child/young person.
Neurofeedback therapy will reduce not only stress and anxiety, leading to an improvement in oral and written comprehension, but will also promote attentional capacity, fostering significant improvements, including in the child/young person's self-esteem. Meanwhile, Psychology sessions will allow the re-education of areas in difficulty and the promotion of emotional balance. The ultimate goal is a significant improvement in difficulties in the academic, social, and family spheres.
