Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

Stress is a major factor in many dyslexics’ school life due to the noisy, busy environment, bullying or struggling to keep up with the lessons. The importance of stress to a child’s learning is highlight by a new study by Dr Shari Birnbaum and colleagues at Yale Medical School that demonstrates that stress effects short term memory. The short term memory is vital for concentration and as part of the process of storing long term memories. The impact of this is to make it even harder for the child to learn, so they fall further behind and they spiral into educational failure.
