What is neurosensory
Neurosensory is a specialised educational and remedial teaching practice that provides educational therapy and remedial teaching for children and adults alike who have learning disorders or learning difficulties.
We operate irrespective of age, ethnicity, economic status, cultural background, religion or area or level of disability and treat both child and adult with dignity and respect.
See Antonia Canaris explain the Neurosensory difference.
Our Approach
Multisensory learning combines the auditory (hearing), the visual (seeing), and the kinaesthetic (tactile – touch and movement) into a powerful and dynamic learning tool.
At Neurosensory we practice the Orton Gillingham multisensory approach to treatment of learning disorders and difficulties. We commonly help people dealing with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD and autism spectrum disorders, as well as those with generalised learning disorders.
Multisensory learning utilises multiple pathways into the brain including the visual, the auditory and the kinaesthetic (touch and feel) to allow new information learnt to pass from short-term memory into long-term memory for better recall.
