Learning Difficulties can be a challenge, but there are effective strategies that can assist the individual better learn and retain information. Consider the Orthon Gillingham Therapeutic Tutoring approach. A multisensory approach to learning that stimulates a range of sensory approaches including kinesthetic, auditory, and visual to maximise learning.

Level 3 Efficacy- Probably Efficacious



EEG biofeedback appears to improve memory in brain injured people (Thornton, 2000). It also improves attention and response accuracy of a performance task and decreases errors in a problem solving task (Tinius & Tinius, 2000). Walker, Norman, & Weber (2002) found 88% of mild head injured patients showed more than 50% improvement in Quantitative EEG coherence scores.
