Here's the truth about an educational breakthrough many parents just like you have already experiencedIf your child struggles to learn or read, no doubt you have probably taken most of the common steps to help—steps like tutoring, extra time with homework, and perhaps even arranged IEPs or special classes through a teacher. Maybe you've felt compelled to try supplements or even medications.
If you are reading this article, it's safe to guess you found the results of your own e_orts a little disappointing. Don't despair. The fact is something is holding your child back.

Answers You Need Now
Every day, specialists use tests to spot medical problems before disaster strikes. Technology such as mammograms, heart scans, EKGs, cholesterol screenings, dental, hearing, and eye exams are commonly available and frequently used to uncover potential problems before they become more serious or untreatable.So why is the unseen cause behind your son's or daughter's frustration such a mystery to solve? Honestly, it isn't.
Every student's ability to learn easily and quickly and to read fluently and with great comprehension depends on a strong set of underlying mental skills—a specific set of skills new brain science has revealed, and, best of all, can accurately measure. During all learning and thinking these cognitive skills perform such tasks as processing new information, recalling previously learned information, creating logical relationships, reasoning out answers, sorting out sounds, recognizing and manipulating visual images, and more. If skills such as auditory processing, memory, or visual processing are not strong, students will struggle.
A simple and accurate cognitive skills test can measure and reveal underlying skills weakness that are often the cause of persistent learning problems.
A Real-World Example
Here is an example of what you could learn and how it could help your child in school: If your son excels at video games and sports but cannot, or will not, read well, testing may uncover specific auditory skill weaknesses that prevent him from recognizing and being able to distinguish individual letter sounds. If he is battling such a skill weakness he may try to guess at words, draw meaning from pictures and illustrations, and usually—sooner rather than later—just give up in frustration. As long as the auditory skill weakness remains undetected and untreated, your son will be denied the joys of reading. Once uncovered, skill weaknesses can be targeted and strengthened. When the speci_c auditory skill weakness is corrected, reading becomes a very real and likely possibility.A Valuable and Affordable Option
