Frustratingly, she was only diagnosed after she took important exams at school, aged 16. She\u2019s a bright, lovely, inspirational, hard-working, and determined young lady &amp; has succeeded in getting to university and is on schedule to fulfil her lifetime\u2019s ambition; to be a elementary school teacher. I know I\u2019m biased, but I\u2019m certain that she\u2019ll be an absolutely brilliant teacher. People who have had to battle through life with learning difficulties often are.<\/p>\n<p>I only mention this, because it relates directly to my initial difficulty \u201cgetting\u201d Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway method and my subsequent determination to help deliver the method in different ways, to different types of learners over the past 23 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>Four years ago, when my wife was explaining how my daughter\u2019s learning difficulties manifested themselves, I was flummoxed, \u201c<strong>That\u2019s how it is for everyone isn\u2019t it?<\/strong>\u201d, I said. My wife and daughter looked at me knowingly, and I was (willingly) packed off, aged 51, to be assessed for learning difficulties. The tests took half a day and the wonderful lady who conducted them, who had previously assessed my daughter, was incredible. She changed my entire perception of myself.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I say \u201c<em>dreamland<\/em>\u201d but to be more accurate, I would hear interesting things in the lesson, begin to think deeply about them, drift off into my own thoughts and imaginings, whilst completely losing track of the content of the rest of the lesson. I\u2019d always been an excellent reader \u2014 but I never really enjoyed it \u2014 it took me longer to take things in. I found learning things, any things, difficult. I couldn\u2019t wait to leave school and get out into the world of work where, it transpired, after a few years of finding my feet, I seemed to excel.<\/p>\n<p>The wonderful lady who assessed me, diagnosing me with Dyslexia, \u201c<em>Developmental Co-ordination Disorder<\/em>\u201d, \u201c<em>Severe Visual Processing Issues\u201d<\/em>, and \u201c<em>Specific Learning Difficulty<\/em>\u201d was so generous with her time and walked me through how, over the years, I had developed and adapted skills and strategies to make up for all of the above.<\/p>\n<p><em>While I was doing the tests I was thinking of the senior school version of myself and how I\u2019d be looking at the exercises and tasks I was being put through now without a clue of how to proceed. I know I would have simply quit trying.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Whether someone is diagnosed early or late, they normally learn to persevere, and battle, and struggle \u2014 and with time and diligence they learn a wonderful truth:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Whatever it is that\u2019s presented to me MUST be possible to understand. It just takes time<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kids who don\u2019t get that insight that become entirely lost\u2026it\u2019s so easy to abandon hope if you\u2019re convinced you just can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p>Learning and developing skills, without even realizing it, you find yourself working harder, for longer, often at a frustratingly slow pace, to arrive at a correct answer.<\/p>\n<p><em>I don\u2019t know about you but I enjoy a correct answer that takes a while over an incorrect one that arrives in moments.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Getting the right answer is the important thing \u2014 but the need for people with learning difficulties to often look at things from an entirely different angle, often many different angles \u2014 soon becomes a tremendous strength. It\u2019s a matter of processing information differently.<\/p>\n<p>Thank goodness I had a chance to do that at an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Live Group Seminar<\/a>. I could have read the book a thousand times without achieving the tiniest nugget of success and become resigned to the life of a smoker.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t misunderstand me, I\u2019m not for a moment suggesting that anyone who doesn\u2019t \u201cget\u201d the method first time has some kind of learning issue\u2026I\u2019m just saying that being willing to look at the method in a different way worked for me, that as an organization we\u2019ve made it possible for everyone to do that, and that the worst advice anyone could give a book reader who fails to quit with the method is, \u201c<em>Just read the book again<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The three entirely different seminars that make up the Live Group Seminar program explore every element of nicotine addiction, from every conceivable angle, to ensure the smoker\u2019s success. It remains, without doubt, the most effective way of experiencing the method.<\/p>\n<p>For those who can\u2019t or won\u2019t attend a live group seminar \u2014 the free of charge advice we provide to book readers who just want to try again with the same book will maximise their chances of success. Even better if they are able to afford the newer, upgraded versions of the book.<\/p>\n<p>The global team of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway Facilitators\/Facilitators who present our live group seminars deliver the most cutting edge, up to date, most effective, easy to take on board version of the method regardless of what kind of learning ability or differences you might have.
