Diets & Allergies
Diets and Allergies
Present research is beginning to confirm the biochemical differences in the dyslexic/ADD child and adult. An understanding of these differences is necessary for developing a holistic program which addresses them not only from an academic but from a physiological standpoint. Relieving some of the physical and biochemical stress can be beneficial to the learning and behavioral situation.
Workshops available include:
Historic overview of diet, biochemical, and allergy research and their possible impact 
on characteristics associated with the dyslexic/ADD individual;
Nutritional information and how it relates to dyslexia/ADD; and
Safe alternatives to drug therapy.
Because the dyslexic/ADD has inherited a more fragile neurochemistry, diets and allergies play a role in many of the perceptual, processing, and behavioral manifestations they have. This is often seen in their variability in performance — being able to do something one time and not another — and is one of the reasons they are often told they are “able to do it if they want to,” which is not really true.
Understanding how to control the dramatic biochemical shifts through natural means is extremely important for more level functioning and to prevent other physiological, emotional, and medical problems in the future. Workshops are available through Hardman and Associates.
