Learning and reading difficulties are considered a global problem, affecting a significant portion of the population across various countries and impacting individuals of all ages.
These problems can stem from various factors, including neurological differences, socio-economic situations, language development issues, environmental factors and inadequate instruction.
Very few studies mention an ineffective visual system as a possible cause, notwithstanding the fact that 80% of learning takes place through vision. What is obvious is the deep concern regarding the meteoric rise in the number of children who are now been diagnosed with learning and reading disorders such as ADHD and dyslexia.
The answer is certainly multifactorial in nature, but Prof. Jannie Ferreira is sure that most of these problems can be overcome. In this book, he attempts to provide a synopsis of the different views as background to his ultimate goal, which is to show that, if all the pieces of the puzzle are put together, we are dealing with normal people presenting with abnormal behaviour. If we address the right cause these problems disappear like mist before the sun.
