People who are using only part of
the brain to do tasks that the whole brain can do better
exhibit symptoms that suggest they could benefit from
Transformations Brain
Integration Therapy. Obviously, all of us experience some
of these things once in a while, but people who get
frustrated or angry because of these kinds of symptoms should consider
BIT. If these problems stop you from doing things that you
want to do, BIT can help.General Symptoms. The person ....
- did not crawl as a baby, or may have
crawled in strange ways. People who didn't crawl often
have learning disabilities. Research shows that crawling
is the main way that babies get the sides of their brains
to work together (No, you don't have to crawl around on
the floor to correct this).
- is right-eyed and left-handed (or vice
versa). When this happens, one side of the brain tries to
control the right side of the page when reading, while the
other side of the brain tries to control the left side of
the page. The brain has to switch sides in the middle of
each line, and has to switch back each time the person
goes to a new line. The result is word reversals
(dyslexia) and trouble going from line to line. More
than 50% of struggling learners are built this way.
- studies hard, and knows the material,
but can't remember for a test. In this case, a person may
have difficulty communicating between the back part of the
brain, where thoughts are stored, and the front part,
where thoughts are expressed.
- is very disorganized.
- has trouble staying with a task, or has
trouble going from one task to another.
- gets overwhelmed easily.
- has trouble with either written or
spoken self-expression.
Each of your eyes is controlled by a
different side of the brain. Here are some symptoms that
your eyes are not working well together. The person ...
- is smart but does not like to read
because of eye fatigue.
- reverses letters or words (b's
become d's. was becomes saw).
- skips words or lines when reading
- mispronounces simple words like in,
here, there, etc.
- starts out well when reading aloud but
has increasing trouble as he goes on.
- can't hit or catch a ball
- gets watery eyes, or headaches, of neck
aches when reading or doing close work.
- gets car sick.
- can't make good pictures in his head of
what he is reading. A person who has this trouble is
probably trying to read with only the left side of the
brain that sounds out words and is not using the right
side to convert words to ideas. The result is that a
person reads the words fine, but can't tell you what it
all meant.
Each of your ears is controlled by a
different side of the brain. Here are some symptoms that
your ears are not working well together. The person ...
- has trouble following oral directions
- has trouble putting things in
alphabetical order.
- doesn't hear his own voice inside when
reading silently.
- has trouble doing mental math problems.
- is easily confused.
- has problems with temper.
- may have Attention Deficit Disorder.
- has problems with spelling and
phonetics.
- moves his lips when he reads silently.
Symptoms that the hands and eyes are not
working together well. The person ...
- has poor spacing on math papers or has
trouble lining up columns.
- has poor handwriting. Hunches over the
desk. Has trouble holding a pencil.
- has problems with left and right and
directions. Is clumsy. People who are clumsy often have
trouble coordinating the messages in the bottom part of
the brain that tell the body what to do with the messages
in the top part of the brain that tell the body the order
in which things must be done.
- has poor spacing of words in writing (thedogwent
tothestorewith theboy).
- reverses letters; reverses numbers.
- has small handwriting.
- has trouble copying from the board.
- has problems going from manuscript into
cursive handwriting.
- can speak well but has trouble
expressing himself in writing.
