fquestion: Do your programs hone Auditory skills?

The short answer is, Yes, our long-term program DOES address the auditory skills, however, those skills may take months, or years or maybe never to fully develop. My philosophy is, Why hold up a child's entire education because they're lacking in one particular skill. We keep the child moving forward and learning with our "Visual Reading", "Visual" or "Active Listening", "visual Note-taking", and even "Visual Test-taking". Maybe that's why some educational professionals seem to have a hard time believing our results. They may think we're "fixing" the problem, be it dyslexia, ADHD, Autism or whatever. The truth is, we/I don't fix anything. It's like a cheat in a computer game. We just find a way around the problem. Many of my graduating students learn to process information so quickly, they are known for taking tests in 1/5th to 1/8th the amount of time allowed. Most finish their SAT's with time to spare. It's not magic--just the right technique for the right person. AND, (as an aside) every bit of research I have shows that ANYONE who has ever achieved an advanced degree relied primarily on their visual-spatial memory and visual-spatial cognitive abilities to succeed. Let's face it, if you were in medical school or law school and you were required to read 300-plus pages a week (about 150,000 words), would you rather read those pages auditorally at 180 words per minute, or visually at 600 words per minute. Auditorally, that's 14-15 hours of study per week. Visually, that's 4-5 hours of study. The truth is, for most students, processing information auditorally is a step backwards. It comes in handy for processing limited amounts of information, linearly, (and it comes in handy for poetry), but that's about it.
