Greetings!
Visual thoughts can become so REAL that it can be hard to switch gears to verbal communication. Often children with highly visual brains see a picture that is so valid to them, they can't seem to hear words that are offered as explanation and, thus, may ignore the person talking to them, have temper tantrums, or simply withdraw when asked to explain themselves.
These are symptoms of an overworking visual brain.

Making A Verbal Visual
I was recently faced with the challenge of giving six presentations for
some of the Smartest Brains in the World - without using any visual aids.
The occasion was the annual Renaissance Weekend, a non-partisan
retreat founded in 1981 to build bridges among innovative leaders from
diverse fields: Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning authors, artists, and
scientists; U.S. Senators, Ambassadors and former presidents;
superstar athletes; movie makers and; inventors and patent holders for
some of the brightest and boldest innovations.
Everyone who was invited to
speak was told they could not use slides, Power Points, or other visual
aids. The purpose of the meeting was all about discussion, discussion,
discussion. Socrates would be proud.
But how was I to simulate the visual brain in this non-visual context?
I downloaded the song "Peel Me A Grape" and played the first few bars.
(To experience what the Smart Brains experienced, click to
listen to the song "Peel Me A Grape")Then I asked the audience to tell me what picture they saw in their mind while listening to the song.
One person said she saw a large black woman:
Another person said they could see a thin, tall black male:
Another person said they saw a smoky bar.
Each person saw a different picture and felt that the picture they were seeing was correct. The longer I played the song the more each was convinced that their image was the right one.
But the real image of the singer of "Peel Me a Grape" (Diana Krall) is this:
So, visual thoughts can become so REAL that it can be hard to switch gears, even for some of the Smartest Brains in the World! Many of these prominent leaders have strong visual brains; brains that have enabled them to excel.
Unlike children who are undiagnosed highly visual thinkers, however, these Smart Brains don't throw tantrums. They don't ignore people offering explanation. They don't withdraw when asked to explain themselves. They have learned to thrive in an atmosphere that encourages discussion, discussion, discussion.
Tantrums, withdrawing, and a seeming inability to connect words and images - these are frequently the symptoms of an overworking visual brain.
If that describes your child, he or she may be a highly visual thinker. With appropriate training, the highly visual thinker can easily make the transition to becoming a Smart Brain.

Scholarships
We now have two scholarships available per month which reduce the cost of our services to a fee that is affordable for most families. The scholarships provide interest-free payment plans that are supported, in part, by Brain Engineering Labs. Candidates selected are high visual thinkers who will benefit the most from my programs.
To inquire about the scholarships, please schedule an appointment with my assistant Tia Zorne by clicking http://brain-engineering-labs.genbook.com. Choose "Scholarship Telephone Interview" and select a day and time that's open and convenient for your schedule. Tia will then call you at the time and date and phone number you have specified. It's as easy as that.
