VAK (Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic) Therapy

Just last week, I wrote about using a multisensory approach to help my son with his learning. This weekend I found a therapeutic program that uses the same approach in therapy. It is called VAK (Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic) Therapy. It was created by Bonnie Terry, M. Ed., BCET who is a Dyslexia and ADHD Expert. Bonnie Terry states, “When learning is hard, it is typically due to one or more areas of perception just not working as well as they should, could, and can. So if you address the underlying root cause of learning problems, learning CAN and DOES become easier. The Awaken the Scholar Within Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Therapy Program does just that!” The basis of the program is that people use their senses (visual, auditory, tactile) to learn. When those systems are working well, learning is easier. The program strengthens those systems in twelve weeks.

This therapeutic program has audio and video lessons that come to you every week for twelve weeks. These lessons include activities and exercises that improve visual processing, audio processing, and tactile/ kinesthetic processing.

VAK therapy has been known to help spelling, note taking, writing, reading, memory, and comprehension. It has been used on students who have ADHD/ ADD, Dyslexia, Autism, and Sensory Processing Disorder.

This program is for first graders to adults and costs $997.00. You can read more about this program at: http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/awaken-the-scholar-within-reading-writing-program-12-week-program/
