Our approach to the emerging global reality…


Considering the current local/global pace of change and recognizing that there are increasingly fewer secure jobs, businesses, and/or markets, we believe that the best way to prepare one and all for the future is to enhance and accelerate the way we think, learn, understand and express what we know and what we want to say so that we are effectively prepared for the future, regardless of its permutations.

  • Orthographic learning in dyslexic Spanish children.    (Wed 23 of July, 2014)
    Authors: Suárez-Coalla P, Ramos S, Alvarez-Cañizo M, Cuetos F Abstract Reading fluency is one of the basic processes of learning to read. Children begin to develop fluency when they are able to form orthographic representations of words, which provide direct, smooth, and fast reading.

Observers may view an ASD diagnosis as a reasonable explanation for behaving inappropriately a...MedWorm Sponsor Message: Find the best Christmas Sales, Boxing Day Sales and January Sales here.
