DYSLEXIA DYSPRAXIA ASPERGES ADHD DRIVING TUITION

Dearne Valley Academy school of motoring has the experience, patience, and understanding to help you learn to drive. The key to understanding how to learn to drive is to tailor the way it is taught by involving you, as you know yourself better than anybody else does. Use your words, your way of explaining, memory tags to remember information. Learn bit by bit,little and often.Keep nudging away at the short term memory untill it finally passes over to the long term memory,

It takes some dyslexics longer to develop automaticity in tasks such as driving. They may have to concentrate harder. They may not be able to talk with a passenger at the same time as driving.



Other dyslexic difficulties which may impact on learning to drive include:

•Weak short term and working memory (holding on to and applying information).

•Auditory processing: taking on board what is being said quickly.

•Difficulty with focusing, easily distracted.

•Difficulty identifying left from right.

•Visual distraction, visual memory issues.

•Slower processing speed in the brain.

•Sequencing problems: getting information in the right order.
