How does this correction program work? First a tool is given allowing the person to recognize and to control the mental state that results in distorted perceptions, thus eliminating this problem. Once perception is accurate, the symbols and words that cause confusion and disorientation can be confronted and mastered with specific exercises that use the strengths of the right brained individual.
Other tools help the person to control energy level to correspond with the activity at hand and focus more effectively. Multi-sensory techniques that rely on the inherent gifts of the person are used to start to master the basic symbols of reading and writing that cause the confusion and disorientation in the first place.
