What is the percentage of neurodivergent - Dr. Martin Bloomfield (Part 2)

                                                                

This is part 2 of my response to Dr. Martin’s answer to my question. 

As you read this, please ask yourself what happened to this research 'Children of the Code' which was conducted over 13 years.

David Boulton:

       10 times the number of kids who have innately biologically ordered learning difficulties have learning difficulties that are a consequence of what they learned…... Until such time we can read that they are cognitively going askew relative to what they have learnt in the past then our teaching is kind of brute force against this deep core stuff that is working against us.

        How much of what they are struggling with is an innate learning problem and how much of what they are struggling with is what they have learned in the past working against them learning now.

The following is an excerpt of an interview with Dr. Jack Shonkoff, Chair, National Scientific Council on the Developing Child by Dr. David Boulton almost 20 years ago.

The following article was posted by me in Linkedin on September 2015

In response to Andrea’s comment on my article on 'Tale of two studies' I now post extracts from various articles from 'Children of the Code'.

As early as 2003 researchers already were aware of the fact that a major cause of illiteracy is because of children shutting down/disengaging. In time I hope to find out why this information is not wide spread and why solutions have not been suggested in ‘Children of the Code’. Perhaps Dr. David Boulton will read this post and favour us with a response.
