Everyone is learning-able, however, different learners are often labelled learning-disabled, when nothing could be further from the truth! Author and Facilitator, Sue Blyth Hall is the mother of a son who loved learning, until he went to school. She questioned the ‘give him more of what he couldn’t do already’ approach, and uncovered a very simple alternative. Every child entering school is entitled to a Cognitive Equal Opportunity, so let’s shift our approach to enable those who learn differently!
Sue is dyslexic and for the past 22 years has enjoyed working with wonderful individuals who have attracted a so-called learning disability label. Knowing them to be learning-able, she is now dedicated to initiating changes that will ensure all our children have a cognitive equal opportunity as they enter school. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
