For this very reason, add to your faith moral excellence; and to moral excellence, knowledge." (IIPeter 1:5)
Dianne Craft is a former homeschool mom who has 25 years experience teaching children who struggle with learning. Some children struggle because of a "glitch" in the processing of information, sometimes referred to as a learning disability. She also works with children who are experiencing struggles such as ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Sensory Integration Issues, Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Down Syndrome, and Turner Syndrome. She approaches these problems in a unique way…looking for the "solutions" for the problem, along with the common compensations for the problem.
She received her Bachelor's Degree in Special Education from St. Cloud State University, and her Master's Degree in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado. She also is a Certified Natural Health Professional. She uses that particular expertise to help parents deal with the biochemical upset that their children are experiencing, which contributes to the child's struggles with behavior, attention or learning.
Discovering the reason for children's struggles with learning and behavior has long been a passion of Dianne's. She began her quest for the latest brain research concerning learning disabilities and their causes, believing strongly that God had many solutions available that were little known to teachers and parents alike. She traveled extensively to glean these bits of knowledge, and began applying new techniques to struggling learners.
In 1988 she created the workshop Brain Integration Therapy for Children for parents, educators, psychologists, speech therapists and occupational therapists. In 1993 she began teaching these life-changing concepts directly to parents in her Private Consultation Practice, so they could work with their children at home, removing learning blocks.
During the process of studying the brain and children's learning, she created two more workshops: Teaching the Right Brain Child and The Biology of Behavior and Learning. She has taught all three of her workshops to parents and professionals for the past 17 years.
She is the author of the Brain Integration Therapy for Children Manual, The Right Brain Phonics Book, the audio series "The Biology of Behavior", the DVDs, "Teaching Your Right Brain Child", and "Understanding and Helping the Struggling Learner" and other teaching tools that make learning easier for children.
