Learning Solutions for a Comprehension Disability

Comprehension Disability

Your child may miss key details, lose track of the topic, or misunderstand the point of the conversation. This is due to a difficulty in processing and maintaining stable pictures in their mind.

Is there a Comprehension Disorder?

In the classroom, it’s often assumed that students naturally possess the skills needed to comprehend what they read and hear, visualize concepts, and think critically. But not every student arrives with these skills fully developed. Without the capacity to create sufficient mental imagery, they may struggle—not because they lack intelligence, but because they haven’t yet developed the skills to create and sustain clear mental pictures, which are essential for learning and success.

Markus Found More Than Help — He Found Confidence

My name is Markus and I go to Hands On Learning Solutions. I had to write about a person who has had significant impact on my life for a school assignment and decided to write about Mr. Jeff. Mr. Jeff works at Hands On Learning Solutions. HOLS is a place where you come to fix your learning disabilities. Mr. Jeff is my teacher and has helped me with my learning disabilities. The kind of things I do there are very simple tasks that connect neural pathways and teach my brain to work better. Some of the tasks are describing objects without hand movements like if you were talking on the phone or reading words printed in different colors. Then Mr. Jeff makes it even harder by making me to it on beat of a metronome. The results of this learning is not just fixing disabilities, it also makes me more confident, energetic (in a good way) and happy. The way he makes rules fair and explains things is so helpful especially when my sessions are long. He does a great job of keeping things interesting. Hands On Learning Solutions and Mr. Jeff especially have helped me so much and I am so glad I met him.
