Some students are steady turtles, whose short legs bear heavy shells; others are hares who could run swiftbut drift. Yet the most disruptive scholars can also be the most productive adults: scientists (Darwin, Einstein), entrepreneurs (Hearst, Rockefeller), inventors (Edison, Wright), statesmen (Winston Churchill), and artists (Earnest Hemingway, Louis Armstrong, Helen Keller). Frequently creative, often gifted , these students may acquire talented educators to help become the "Spark plugs of our society, the shakers and movers, the people who bring about revolution and change." (Thom Hartmann, ADD: A Different Perception ) Students with mental or physical learning challenges may obtain mentors to help them race alongside competitors in professional society. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), frequently accompanied by hyperactivity (ADHD), can be seen as a set of behavioral traits which makes students unavailable to learn: students may be distractible, disorganized, bored or intense, present-minded, self-centered, reckless, or angry. Roughly three to ten percent of people, mostly males, display ADD traits. Thirty percent of these people, regrettably, will become disturbed adults who trouble authorities.

VT Directory Free immediate referrals Success Stories References Dyslexia ADD/ADHD Vision, Learning and Dyslexia A joint organizational policy statement of the American Academy of Optometry and the American Optometric Association Many children and adults continue to struggle with learning in the classroom and the workplace. Advances in information technology, its expanding necessity, and its accessibility are placing greater demands on people for efficient learning and information processing. Learning is accomplished through complex and interrelated processes, one of which is vision. Determining the relationships between vision and learning involves more than evaluating eye health and visual acuity (clarity of sight). Problems in identifying and treating people with learning-related vision problems arise when such a limited definition of vision is employed. This policy statement addresses these issues, which are important to individuals who have learning-related vision problems (such as dyslexia), their families, their teachers, the educational system and society. Policy Statement People at risk for learning-related vision problems should receive a comprehensive optometric evaluation. This evaluation should be conducted as part of a multidisciplinary approach in which all appropriate areas of function are evaluated and managed.
