"Smart but Struggling" - What Does it Mean? - Jessyka Coulter, Love to Learn 2023
"I just really want the world to know that the struggles associated with learning disabilities and dyslexia do not have to be permanent. They really can change. The brain is amazing!"
- Jill Stowell
In this episode, Jessyka Coulter interviews Jill Stowell for the "Love to Learn 2023" virtual event.
Jill uses Stowell Learning Center's Learning Skills Continuum to explain why some students struggle in school.
There are whole sets of underlying skills that need to be in place for optimal learning. If any of these skills are weak or inefficient, the attention system is going to be stressed, and the student will struggle.
Jill also explains why the vast majority of the students who are reported to have attention issues, do not actually have ADHD, but that most attention challenges are just a symptom of a weak underlying skills.

Communication challenges can have many underlying skill roots and it is important to understand what skills are getting in his way to best help him. We recommend a Functional and Academic Skills Assessment to really pinpoint the weak underlying skills. If he is struggling with auditory processing, provide directions in short phrases by having him look at your mouth and repeat. If he is struggling with articulation or speech production, again, model the word while pointing to your mouth and emphasizing the desired sound. If he struggles with expressive language, singing songs and chants helps (depending on his age), or asking him "wh-" questions throughout your everyday activities, "Where are we going?" "What are we eating?" "When do you go to school?" Always repeat his responses back in complete sentences. Again, there are many strategies, the most-important key is first identifying exactly what is getting in his way. If you want to discuss your son's needs further, feel free to schedule a free inquiry call with one of our Learning Specialists at stowellcenter.com/learning-specialist-call/.
