Have we been overlooking a major direction?

· Thinking in Pictures
· Disorientation
· Struggling with traditional academic learning
· Self-Esteem fluctuating


Does the above sound a bell? These are some of the symptoms that effect people struggling with Dyslexia and yes, you’d be right in thinking that they are also symptoms that affect many Autistic learners.

Here’s some really exciting news that I’d like to share with you all and in turn if you could forward this knowledge on to your friends, that would be wonderful ..... Thank you.

Message From Richard Whitehead - Davis Learning Foundation Director

"How do you explain to others why dyslexia is a gift...
...and how do you explain to teachers how dyslexic thinkers learn best?"


"Why 'Tyrannosaurus' But Not 'If'?" is a new 15-part mentoring course, designed for anyone who is teaching a picture thinker.

The course is absolutely free of charge. Over 15 weeks, it delivers to teachers, tutors, lecturers and home educators incisive insights and strategies - insights and strategies which can be put to use straight away, empowering bright children who have struggled with traditional academic learning.

It would be truly wonderful if you would let any of your friends, contacts and colleagues know about the course who might be interested, or who might benefit from it.

I am a big fan of Ronald D. Davis (founder of Davis Dyslexia Association International, author of The Gift of Dyslexia and The Gift of Learning) and next week I will be posting some information regarding this remarkable man.

Keep It Short & Simple








I adore the word "Simplicity" it can mean freedom from confusion and offer clarity by breaking down a complex issue into short simple and clear information.

Many Special Needs Children and Adults suffer from disorientation and overload of sensors before they even sit down to try and learn something, so it will always help firstly to address the sensory issues and then proceed clearly with the task in hand, remembering the acronym K.I.S.S. Keep It Short & Simple.

MaxiSteps is focusing on K.I.S.S.
