This is a book about discovery. It is not a book about miracles, but it is a book about learning. Using neuroscientific research as the foundation, Finding the Way explains how metacognitive strategies and multi-sensory learning techniques can serve as the starting point for learning for all people but especially for individuals with a learning disability or suffering from traumatic brain injuries. The discovery of brain plasticity and the complex integration of sensation and memory across all areas of the brain is discussed in the first chapters. These discoveries uncover how the brain is able to make sense of the world and store our memories for access. Practical methods of developing learning strategies are introduced with supporting detail from the vast accumulation of neuroscientific research. Five case studies underscore the value and potency of the plastic mind. They also emphasize the success people can achieve by actively, purposefully and mindfully engaging in finding their own solutions for learning. Finding the Way is a book for teachers, tutors, counselors, learning facilitators and people who hope to improve the way they and others can learn. These concepts are important to consider as an educator and as someone who works with students whether they have learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury or not.
