The new year provides a great opportunity for us to evaluate the areas of our lives that we would like to improve. Getting organized is a common resolution and will do great things for both you and your child with an ADHD, visual thinking brain.
The holidays inevitably result in more stuff in your house that needs a new place to live. Tune in to Episode 19 of Living Life as a Visual Thinker as I share my best practices for getting your visual learner’s space organized and calm.
Every parent has experienced the frustration of trying to get their kid to listen and do what needs to be done. But when it’s a visual learner or kid with ADD, there are even more challenges. There’s a lot going on in their head, ALL the time.
It’s conference time at many of our schools and I want to encourage you to think of them in a new way, especially if you have a visual learner or child with ADD or ADHD.

I’ve compiled a list of things that your visual ADD/ADHD kid will do well. These will really boost their confidence in their awesomeness. So, try them out and have fun!
I think it is important for each and every one of us to understand how we think and learn in order to understand how those around us think and learn. And, how to best communicate with them and help them be more successful.
If your child has been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, you’ve already put some new things in place and their grades or behavior still hasn’t improved, you might be thinking…. NOW WHAT?!? If you have a child with ADD chances are they are also visual learners.
There are significant benefits to writing by hand; the better visual students write the better they learn. Regular practice helps young writers develop mastery and gain a level of unconscious competency that allows them to focus on their classroom work.
Many families turn to extra curricular activities to provide what their kids need more of. After school enrichment programs can give these learners the things they’re missing out on during regular school hours. But how do you choose the right one for your child?
Having the right school supplies at home for your visual learner is going to make everyone’s lives easier.
