This section contains an anthology of sorts of my most popular articles on subjects relating to struggling learners and right brain children. Many are based on my workshops that I offer while others are samples derived from the content containted in my books, DVDs, and CDs.

         If you don’t know where to begin and feel overwhelmed with your child’s problems, start off with: “The 4 Learning Gates: Identifying Your Child’s Learning Block”
