In addition, other areas of intelligence can be developed through a process we call remediation. As the brain develops, the person's deficit becomes normal or above normal. In short, with remediation a mental weakness can be turned into a strength. A person with poor memory can have better memory than most people through remediation. If you or your child have poor grades or poor work performance, you may wish to consider remediation services.
Remediation is very different than tutoring.
Tutoring teaches subjects that are presented in school. Often children who can not read receive tutoring for years and years with limited progress. The problem is that the child does not possess the cognitive skills needed to be able to read. Remediation helps the brain develop so that the necessary skills can be obtained. The first step in over coming learning problems is to obtain a complete assessment.
