Help Your Child to Learn Sometimes there are apparently inexpiable blocks to learning which prevent intelligent children from reaching their potential. The blockages can be so difficult to pinpoint that no-one is aware of the real problem. Consequently, the frustrated or withdrawn behaviour which results is often blamed as the problem itself.
This is a practical guide for parents of children who are experiencing learning difficulties & disabilities. It contains:Information on where and how to find help that suits your child.

Mothers' stories of 9 children.
Barbara went on to become a pioneer in the field of learning difficulties; authoring four books, producing two educational DVDs and working with thousands of students, parents and teachers across the world. She and her associates refined and perfected a sequential movement program that can be done with an individual, a small group or with a whole class and requires little in terms of training or equipment. The movement sequences seem to act as a 'neurological kick-start', helping children to reach learning readiness and removing the obstacles that had blocked them in the past.
In 2004 Barbara was nominated for Australian of the Year.
