If the US House soon passes the Senate's landmark climate change and health care bill, it will help validate the Democrats' monopoly on political power in Washington and hand Joe Biden a notable presidential legacy ahead of November's midterm elections.

An auditory processing disorder can significantly disrupt comprehension. People with an auditory processing disorder can have trouble processing speech in background noise, trouble processing high frequency sounds in speech, timing deficits, and/or auditory attention deficits. This link give us an idea of what people with an auditory processing disorder experience. Can you answer the comprehension questions at the end? There is a simple assessment tool if you or your child is struggling with any of the auditory processing symptoms. Please contact www.braintraining.com today.

If the brain’s auditory map of speech sounds is imprecise, processing blends together and is not discriminated resulting in perception that sounds the same. This difficulty processing the rapid blending of sounds holds a child back from developing phonological awareness, and impacts reading achievement.

We assume we choose things that we like, but research suggests that's sometimes backward: We like things because we choose them, and we dislike things that we don't choose

Many people have kids with Sensory Processing Disorder and don't know there's a reason for their behaviors (and believe it or not, many adults have it and don't know... that was me a few years ago! 🤯)

So... here's a post explaining it a little bit.

***SPD is complicated and can look different in every person who has it. This is a quick list of possible ways it can manifest... but it's important to note that the left/right sides are not mutually exclusive. Many people exhibit a mix of behaviors from both sides.***

Researchers at UCSF have found that boys and girls with sensory processing disorder (SPD) have altered pathways for brain connectivity when compared to typically developing children, and the difference predicts challenges with auditory and tactile processing.

Prewriting lines are the basis for forming letters or numbers. Children must be able to form these lines / shapes to be able to start to learn how to form letters. These lines also follow a developmental progression. Another tip: When you are working on prewriting lines with your child, make sure you draw the lines from top to bottom, and left to right to help start forming good formation habits! 😁 Ways to practice prewriting lines: draw dots for children to connect to form the line, use a highlighter for children to trace, children can form with crayons, play dough, paint, sidewalk chalk and more. Check out my store for some activities that use these strategies! 😁

Aphantasia can make reading unenjoyable and unfulfilling.

Some people find it impossible to imagine a friend’s face or their own apartment—a phenomenon named aphantasia. Scientists are beginning to tease out the brain features underlying the condition
