One great challenge for our educators...

... attending to the ADHD child or those with less than acute auditory cognitive skills in the classroom. I believe we must challenge ourselves as educators to treat this condition as evidence of a strength; and correctly classify the visual field not as a distraction but a place of discovery... Let's further challenge ourselves to accept it as an opportunity to apply greater and swifter visual stimuli for him/her so as not to lose this likely very capable child. The ADHD child may in fact be a pool of strength yet tapped, and the undeservedly disempowered "below norm" which now demands of us a new approach to learning. Our culture as a whole is not going to slow down, either. Therefore it may behoove us to find quicker pathways to comprehension for the majority of our "average" students, and not just access for those with "syndromes" and "Learning Disabilities." I suggest this pathway is through applied visual thinking and interdisciplinary academic study...
