The blockages can be so difficult to pinpoint that no-one is aware of the real problem. Consequently, the frustrated or withdrawn behaviour which results is often blamed as the problem itself.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a practical guide for parents of children who are experiencing learning difficulties \u0026amp; disabilities.

In 1987 she set up a specialised treatment centre in Manly, Australia, known as 'The Beach House'. This was a private centre for those with Learning Difficulties and Hyperactivity in which Teachers, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and a Physical Education Teacher worked together sharing their expertise. Barbara's team proved that by working together, starting with the professional who met the most basic needs of a particular child, results could be quick and permanent. The success of The Beach House also demonstrated that similar centres could be set up in any community and with a minimum of financial support. Barbara went on to become a pioneer in the field of learning difficulties; authoring four books, producing two educational DVDs and working with thousands of students, parents and teachers across the world. She and her associates refined and perfected a sequential movement program that can be done with an individual, a small group or with a whole class and requires little in terms of training or equipment. The movement sequences seem to act as a 'neurological kick-start', helping children to reach learning readiness and removing the obstacles that had blocked them in the past. In 2004 Barbara was nominated for Australian of the Year.","brand":"Jeanette Liljeqvist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50494513545490,"sku":"9780958160810","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_504c8824-8a1e-47a6-b655-f10a4812c82d.jpg?v=1730666069","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/help-your-child-to-learn-9780958160810","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
