What if it was possible to beat dyslexia?
Maybe Neuro Linguistic Programming can help?
In this episode, host Matthew Head sits down with Lou Barnes as they explore how Lou’s experience as a teacher led her to seeking alternative ways to help children (and adults) with dyslexia.
As a primary school teacher for 20 years, Lou loved teaching, being in a classroom, and watching children flourish.
However, Lou always met children who simply couldn’t get to grips with reading, writing and spelling branded as ‘lazy’ or ‘naughty’. Not satisfied with this narrative and accepting that these children were lost causes, Lou knew there had to be a reason for their behaviour.
Lou shares how, even after praise for hard work and highlighting their strengths, these children who have been left behind, still called themselves ‘stupid’, thick or ‘rubbish’ which simply wasn’t true.
Lou believed that something had to change because the current system wasn’t helping.
After trying all sorts of different approaches to teaching children with dyslexia, and other neurodiversities, Lou came across Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and became instantly fascinated. Lou decides to delve deeper into NLP seeing the potential this could have for people with dyslexia.
Lou then spent the next few years training in NLP and incorporating what she had learnt into her lessons. The impact for children with dyslexia was so profound that she decided to take it full time and leave full time teaching.
So what is NLP? And how might it help me with my Dyslexia?
