After over twenty years of being in education, I provide tutoring, consulting, and coaching on dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental differences. Over the last 15 years, I’ve observed an increasing amount of behavioral, sensorial, cognitive, physical, mental, and spiritual difficulties and differences along with an increased number of children being medicated; Therefore, I developed a revolutionary program that includes an evaluation that “looks at the whole child.” I work with all stakeholders on constructive engagement when learning based on my student “whole child” observation(s) inspired by Maria Montessori, Benjamin Bloom, Peter Levine, Conrad E. and Cohen B., Dr. J. Puleo & Dr. L. Horowitz, Howard Garner, Dr. Bradley Nelsen, Hans Berger,Jean Piaget, Grolnick, W. & Kurowski, C. and Erik Erickson. I have also developed a revolutionary training/intervention program for people with unique learning and neuro-differences. This program is based on my own inductive reasoning and a detective sense contributed to my own gift of dyslexia, countless hours of student observations, educational research, and studies along with my perpetual care for children.
“In the 1930’s Dr Samuel Orton in the USA noticed that learners with dyslexia had problems in reading and writing when taught by ‘traditional’ methods. Working on the premise that some cerebral connections, notably those between the visual and auditory areas, could be less strong in these learners, he looked for a system of teaching which would use other associative areas of the brain to link the visual and auditory areas.” https://www.dyslexia-and-literacy.international/ONL/EN/Course/S3-2-2.htm

1. VISUAL DISCRIMINATION ISSUES:
Trouble seeing the difference between similar letters, shapes, or objects. Try a search and find!!
2. VISUAL FIGURE-GROUND DISCRIMINATION ISSUES:
Struggle to distinguish a shape or letter from its background.
3. VISUAL SEQUENCING ISSUES:
Find it difficult to see shapes, letters, or words in the correct order; may skip lines or read the same line over and over.
4. VISUAL-MOTOR PROCESSING ISSUES:
Trouble using what they see to coordinate with the way they move; may struggle to write within lines or bump into objects while walking.
5. LONG- OR SHORT-TERM VISUAL MEMORY ISSUES:
Struggle to remember shapes, symbols, or objects they’ve seen, causing issues with reading and spelling.
6. VISUAL-SPATIAL ISSUES:
Trouble understanding where objects are in space; unsure how close objects are to one another (check out horizontal and verticals spacing in their handwriting).
7. VISUAL CLOSURE ISSUES:
Difficulty identifying an object when only parts of it are showing (check out a,o in their handwriting).
8. LETTER AND SYMBOL REVERSAL ISSUES:
Switch numbers or letters when writing, or may mistake [check out these in their handwriting] “b” for “d” or “w” for “m” (p,q) .
1. Defined by difficulty processing the basic sounds of language (phonemes), sounds of letters and groups of letter resulting in very slow and labored reading.
2. Believed to be caused by an impairment in neural processing of auditory information.
3. Also called audio dyslexia or auditory processing disorder.
4. Sounds may be being fused, reversed or jumbled. It is not a hearing impairment (See VPD too).
6. In the medial position (mostly) you’ll see omissions of sound processing hence the students will add, repeat, substitute and even delete all together letters in the middle of the word (check the medial, final, and initial letters in their spelling.
*Note: Students can have deficits that are both auditory and visual in nature! Total Functional Dominance.
2) Spelling Inventory. Read phonetic and sight words (back and forth) to have the student spell onto black T-chart. Check phoneme sounds above to the nonsense word spelled out by the student. See Appendix Cont. for Student Prompt.

Why spelling words (see above)?
The middle sounds even though in the middle position is the last to be processed. The last sound even though is the last position is the second to be processed. Since language sound processing is needed for spelling, you will observe them misspelling in mainly in the middle position, then the last position by doing omissions (leading to deletions, additions, substitutions, repetitions)! Orton Gillingham methods are great for helping anyone who has these sound processing issues.

• Hostile • Irrational • Self-centered • Poor focus • Sleep disturbances • Tantrums • Coerciveness • Fidgeting • Racing Thoughts • Delays in the 5 domains of childhood development- meaning delays of reaching developmental milestones, and developmental disabilities (most common and can be included in Autism); cohabit with ADHD, impulsive/hyperactive type, also:
Behavior disorders (ODD-hyper-dysregulation).
Brain injury (TBI).
Down Syndrome.
Intellectual Disability.

Sensory Processing Problems/Issues (SPD)- Specific Langauge Disability (SLD)/Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and & Sensory Integration Disorder (normally labeled SPD Problems/Issues)- Hyper-visual processing such as Dsyeidetic (visual) Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dysphasia.
Note: I observed with autism, varied speed processing, and sensory processing issues (exercises for these-see below for more information including Total Functional System Dominance). Therefore, the information of learning gets scattered throughout the brain from lobe to lobe; Hence, when doing hands-on-healing, I’ve felt that the energy gets scattered throughout the brain and feels like scattered energy in the palms of the hands of someone with Autism. Also, for anyone, if the crown, third eye, throat and alta major chakras start to go hyopactivating or hyperactiving then you will get a migraine, vision problems, memory problems, “brain fog” and allergies. Most meditative practices including breathing techniques, 528Hz frequency of sound healing therapy, and Kundalini yoga is good for this.

Cook’s Alternatives and Suggestions for Lateral Functional System Dominance
Dsyeidetic (visual) Dyslexia
AngerSympathetic System Functional Dominance- Students with this dominance need to know they are a child of God and Worthy.
Anger Parasympathetic Functioning System – is a freeze and “rest and digest” response which is related to the autonomic nervous system. The brain filters for long term memory based off of choices, meaning, and motivation based need for future reference, and filters of past experiences, and perceptions of shame, freeze, and which dysfunction in your Vagus Nerve and RAS & HPA leads to slow speed processing (midbrain tries to equalize the distribution of the task, mainly right hemispheric functioning in the distribution of a task, sensory processing is hypo aka slow speed processing).

Cook’s Alternatives and Suggestions for Lateral Functional System Dominance
Dsyeidetic (visual) Dyslexia
Anger= Sympathetic Functional System Dominance– Student has overstimulated, hyperspinning of the chakras: including Soma and RAS (chakras 6-8) hyperactivated), or stopped altogether (deactivated) causing abnormal neuroplasticity via the vagus nerve. Plus, pathogens from the intestinal tract cause harm from problems with the thymus. Note: also varied from trying to regulate, align, equalize by moving from accelerated-slow so one and so forth. Goal is to regulate the deactivated or hyperactive chakras by slowing down the needed chakras (see below). Do number #3 for anger/strength, and # 5 for hatred/courage, #2 for peace/bliss then do #7 (visual-I see): lastly, end in RAS do #8 do 6-8th and soma together for the unity of abundance, unconditional love & I’m worthy! Note: #8 is also (visual- I see) and the Higher Heart Chakra with pink quartz or pink tourmaline (thymus chakra) for I see God. I am worthy. Others can now see me too!
Dysphonetic (phonetic) Dyslexia
Shame= Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance– Student has understimulated, hypospinning of the chakras: including Alta Major and RAS (chakras 6-8 are hypoactive ), or inactive, stopped altogether (deactivated) causing abnormal neuroplasticity via the vagus nerve. Plus, pathogens from the intestinal tract cause harm from problems with the thymus. Note: also varied from trying to regulate, align, equalize by moving from slow-accelerated so one and so forth. Goal is to stimulate the deactivated or hypoactive chakras by speeding up the needed chakras (see below). Do number #1 for shame/empathy, and #4 for grief/compassion, and #2 for peace/bliss, & then do #6 (auditory- speaking, hear & listen); lastly, for RAS do #8 do 6-8th and alta major together for the unity of abundance, unconditional love & I’m enough! Note: #8 is also (auditory- speaking, hear & listen) and the Higher Heart Chakra (thymus chakra) with moonstone for I hear and speak of God. I am enough. Others now listen, hear/speak to me too!
Students with Anger Sympathetic System Function Dominance…Therefore, hyper-sensory processing, accelerated and varied speed processing will be regulated!!! Students will no longer have—Known as being analytical-literal, verbal linguistic, strong auditory processing, logical-mathematical, 2-D learner. (Can be good in math, comprehension well). Needing Autonomy- ex. I can do it! I am Worthy! Under stress, is known for fight-or-flight, flee response which is a physiological reactive response. They can be ultra-religious. They consider what they do for God. Note: Students with Sympathetic System Function Dominance have a serotonin deficit; therefore, have lessened pleasure, relaxation, contentment and sensitivity (meaning).
Speaking of the heart and not feeling “worthy”- They may have problems with receiving strength, knowledge, faith, reverence, obedience (lust, hatred, jealousy, envy), perception (gives resistance, judgment based off logic (outward appearances, not seeing the heart of someone), patience, courage, abundance, empowerment, attachment and autonomy, entrapment (desire, lust, fear), release (courage, trust), transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation (unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy). Again, they need the soma and RAS #8 chakra (chakras 6th-8th).
Response: Better with short-term memory using habits and addictions based off of facts, forms/functions. They tend to focus again on the present and immediate situation. Which dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and RAS and the soma chakra leads to negative perceptions and meaning of being angry– dominance, fight/flight (flee) and accelerated speed and varied processing.
Hyper-proprioceptive, somatic and vestibular (hyper-gross motor ability (cerebral palsy). They are active and about doing things.
Hyer-norepinephrine (diligence- fight, flight, flee & hyperarousal). Reactive with anger and have hyper-speed (accelerated) processing and long-term memory issues. If they have autism, they are known as `runners”. They think of the present and reacting instantly gets them to the What? Much faster. Therefore, for them what Is important to answer.
Hyper-visual processing leading to convergence and other visual processing issues (Third-eye chakra #6, Pons area of the brain-Soma chakra, #8 for RAS). Both: Left-Lateral Dominance= Autism can have Irlen Syndrome which is a problem processing light (more common).
See graph below- If your body is toxic, it cannot maintain health such as Autoimmune diseases. Stimulating your liver with the detoxification layout releases toxins and encourages your lymphatic system to remove them, bringing about a physical cleansing. A Yellow Jasper or Obsidian at your solar plexus stimulates an emotional detox as well. This with Smoky Quartz, Drusy Chrysocolla energetically stimulates liver function and moves heavy metals out of the body.
Also, it leads to abnormal neuroplasticity.
Students with Shamea Parasympathetic System Function Dominance…Therefore, hypo-sensory processing, slow and varied speed processing will be regulated!!! Students will no longer have—Known as being evaluative- visual spatial reasoning learns best by “doing”, “whole-picture”, “out-side of the box” thinkers, 3-D learner. Needing Attunement- ex. I am Enough. Under stress, is known to freeze and “rest and digest” response which is related to the autonomic nervous system. They can be ultra-spiritual. They consider how they feel for God. Note: Students with Parasympathetic System Function Dominance have a dopamine deficit; therefore, have lessened pleasure, reward, motivation, and euphoria (meaning and motivation).
Speaking of the heart and not feeling “enough”- They may have problems with receiving empathy, wisdom, hope, power, willingness, intuition, destruction (death, guilt, shame), entrapment (desire, lust, fear), release (courage, trust), transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation (unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy), surrendering (due to pride), acceptance (gives resistance, judgment based off evaluation (outward appearances, not listening/hearing/speaking to the heart of someone), compassion, beauty, joy, mercy, attachment and attunement. Again, they need the alta major and RAS #8 chakra chakras 6th-8th).
Response: Better with long term memory based off of perceptions and choices for meaning (past and future) and motivation (autonomy and attunement), based on past experience and need for future reference. Therefore, they tend to focus and filter based on the past/future. Which dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and RAS and the alta major chakra, this leads to filters of shame, subordinance, freeze, and slow speed and varied processing.
Hypo-proprioceptive, somatic and vestibular (hypo fine-motor ability dysgraphia). They can be considered less active and have poor handwriting. .
Hypo-norepinephrine (diligence-freeze, hypoarousal, mainly; poor short-term memory retrieval). Filters with shame and have slow speed processing and short-term memory issues. Remember, they are thinking of the past/future not so much the present. Their meaning is not present related as much as the need for the future and past. Why? Therefore, for them why Is important to answer.
Right-lateral dominance: Dyslexia, aspergers, can have language deficits including dysnomia, dyspraxia (speech) and even dysphasia with both possibly having dyscalculia. Right-Lateral Dominance= Autism can have language deficits including dyspraxia (speech disability) and even dysphasia with both possibly having dyscalculia (less common).
Hypo-auditory processing leading to dyslexia and other central auditory processing issues and sometimes a dyspraxia (speech disability) (Throat #5, Pons area of the brain-Alta major chakra #8 RAS (chakras 6th-8th).
Also, it leads to abnormal neuroplasticity.
NOTE: Total Functional System Dominance can have all. Exercises & Activities for Lateral (Para/Sym-above) & Total Functioning System Dominance- It is for the mind, senses, body and spirit: On a physical and mental level, the goal is the vagus nerve and RAS & ACC/HPA to be functioning in alignment in the chakra system and balance of electromagnetism with mainly complementary to medicine such as: On a physical, mind and sensorial level, color/sound therapy, yoga, meditation, prayer/praise & worship, affirmations and breathing techniques.
