[senco-forum] Here's a Question

Thanks Aly. This is all useful stuff but I still don't know if all
children with weak ASM also have weak auditory PROCESSING necessarily.
You sent me in the last e-mail some ideas for training ASM, the sort of
thing I'm used to using to help children with the weak ASM that
characterises dyslexia and other familiar learning difficulties, but
what about processing? How closely are the two tied? That's my real
question. Do any of the EPs who listen in have anything to say on this
please? I'd be very grateful, because as a teacher sometimes one has to
work on skills that we cannot empirically measure, and I prefer to have
some basis in scientific theory otherwise I fear there may be a better
way to use the child's time.
With thanks,
Mary

This may help to explain the difficulties children with auditory
processing  
may have because many of them are right brain dominant visual spatial 
learners.  It also explains why the strategies mentioned here are
similar to those I  
have found successful. In addition to auditory sequential teaching not
suiting 
 these children, it would seem that left brain teaching methods are also

difficult for them to understand. Whether or not you believe in learning
styles, 
this approach does work.
