Thom was kind enough to share this with us after he had conducted his all day workshop. It is a draft of the first chapter of his next book, Healing ADD, which contains the VAK test we discussed. He has given us permission to publish it in our newsletter. Ellen Arnold, Ph. Mary has made at least two monthly presentations and a Saturday ADDult workshop using the Gardner Theory as a focus.
ADD is about the differences among humans.
We and our children have different hair, eyes, body sizes, and different preferences in a thousand areas. Some of us prefer high levels of stimulation, while others like a more quiet world. Some are attracted to novelty and variety, whereas othersare most comfortable with the consistent and predictable. There are other, more fundamental differences between people, however. At the level of these differences, it's possible to gain direct access into the way a person's mind works, the way they store and process experience and emotion, the way they make decisions and choices.
