Helping children with learning difficulties.
On the Morning Mix Ellen Doherty from Foulksmills spoke about the 'Raviv' method of helping children and adults with learning difficulties. Ellen read about the method in a Sunday newspaper and decided to find out more for herself. She attended a workshop and began putting the techniques in practice to help her son. She says the method worked for him and so she decided to train as a practitioner of the Raviv method.
Ellen says that reading and writing are 2D skills which need to be learned and 15% of children aren't able to learn in the usual way.
Ellen can be contacted on 051 565780 or she can be e-mailed at edoherty@eircom.net.
