Visual Learning Resources for Students with ADD or ADHD

It is common for children and students thought to be living with either ADD or ADHD, to struggle at school when expected to use textbooks or the more traditional printed materials for their studies. Most schools, teachers and parents spare no effort to ensure that the children and students they work with and teach, have the best chance of success by selecting and using the best and most appropriate resources available to them. In situations where ADD or ADHD is involved, the use of video as a learning resource provides the student with a form of Visual Learning that is a more dynamic and compelling option to use, and one that often helps to maintain their attention more effectively. Correctly subtitled video provides an effective form of Visual Learning and an ideal curriculum learning resource for children and students of all ages because it provides the option to learn by watching, listening to, or reading each specific topic or lesson. It also enables each child or adult to learn at their own individual speed which is essential in helping them achieve their greatest individual potential. Research over the last 30 years has demonstrated the link between the use of subtitles or captions on video and improved reading and literacy skills. So when you use subtitled video as a curriculum learning resource, it enables each individual to also potentially improve their reading and literacy skills simultaneously as they study each curriculum topic. Many students and children thought or considered to have Special Educational Needs are indeed very bright. However confining their learning to the use of textbooks and printed materials limits their ability to absorb the information being provided for them to study and learn, WHEREAS Visual Learning provides a much more dynamic and often most effective solution.
