At one time\, Visual Spa tial Learning was defined as a deficiency in brain function – a disabili ty. We now know\, however\, that Visual Spatial Learning is not a result of a genetic flaw – or brain\, eye\, or ear malfunction – it is a diffe rence in thinking and learning style that can cause confusion when deali ng with symbols or understanding of social norms. In fact\, some of our culture’s most talented people are Visual-Spatial Learners – as is true for many of the pioneers in technology\, physics\, and art. \;\n \ ;\nMany individuals who exhibit learning disability symptoms and anxiety in social settings have a natural and innate ability to shift or alter their mental and physical perceptions. They can use this perceptual abil ity to facilitate creativity\, improve physical performance\, enhance th inking\, or resolve confusions. However\, when they use this same abilit y to resolve confusions with language or math symbols\, or in interpreti ng social clues\, it causes unwanted perceptual distortions and noticeab le disorientation that affect vision\, hearing\, balance\, energy levels \, focus\, motor skill\, time sense and/or speech. \;\n \;\nIndivi duals who process and use this thinking style can be shown how to contro l their perceptions so disorientation no longer interferes with their ab ility to learn and socialize successfully. They minimize their challenge s while maximizing their brilliance. \;\n \;\n***ALL WELCOME*** 3\;\n \;\nIf you cannot join in person\, join us with mobile or deskt op with Zoom https://zoom.us/j/7891236789. \;\n \;\nThe first half of the Meetup is a "\;Show'N'Tell"\;.
