Purely by chance we discovered that our daughter was very apt at finding her own way in her new classroom environment; Getting a child to use their visual strengths can help them immensely to fit in and boost their confidence

- get your child to sketch things they�re trying to explain;

When our daughter couldn�t recall names of her new class mates, I asked her to draw her part of the classroom and her �new� friends. Once she�d done that she recalled 2-3 out of the 6 at the table, we then asked the teacher who was missing in action and we now have more friends! We have to keep repeating and using the new names but we think we're there now. It just goes to show the power of multi sensory learning.
