We explore the importance of early intervention and proper support in addressing learning difficulties. The brain's ability to rewire and create new pathways is highlighted, with examples of students improving their academic performance through targeted intervention. The conversation also discusses the need for different tools and methods to address individual learning styles and processing skills. The role of teachers and tutors in providing effective intervention is explored, along with the importance of using research-based teaching methods. The conversation concludes with the idea that early access to brain work and processing tools could potentially prevent learning and processing problems for a larger percentage of students.
