| jackiecoacht.nl | Jackie Coacht | The website describes the phenomenon of ‘visual thinkers’ – children who predominantly use the right side of their brain for learning and who often struggle with traditional, linguistic teaching methods.

This can lead to problems such as a misdiagnosis of dyslexia and unnecessary learning lags. Jackie Coacht’s training approach centers around giving letters and numbers fixed positions in memory and using a visual learning workbook to help children learn in a way that suits their cognitive style. | Education → Special Needs & Support 6372 | visual learning 27 workbook 154 theory 956 training 28133 | |
