Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

The ability of the brain to learn and change even after significant damage is always worth remembering when dealing with dyslexics, autistics and other people with brains that are seen as not quite normal. Most people, most of the time can learn anything if the right way of teaching them is found and enough time is spent. Though the best way of teaching is not always obvious (e.g. cerebellum exercises help dyslexics to spell) and we may not yet know the best way to teach.
An example of this is a treatment called Vision Restoration Technology from a company called NovaVison Inc.. They have developed a technology to help people recover vision after a stroke and are claiming a 65% success rate. The treatment is a simple computer based system that helps the still heathy and damaged neurons in the visual system to compensate for those destroyed by the stroke. That it is possible to train up the visual system, just like any other part of the brain, is important for dyslexia / ADHD treatments such as light therapy. We each take for granted that we see and hear just as other people do. However it seems that there is as much variation as there is in people’s physical fitness and that like fitness, with the right training programme, it can be improved.
