Navigating Learning Disabilities

Specific patterns that can look like learning disabilities

​

In Human Design, we can see the way a person takes in and transmits information. A right-brained learner absorbs everything at once rather than following a linear sequence. They may look like they are not paying attention. They are absorbing differently. Testing them the same way as a left-brained learner will not show what they actually know.

​

Some children cannot retrieve information on demand. If you ask them a direct question, they appear to not know the answer. They need questions that unlock what is inside them rather than test whether a specific fact was retained. These children can look like they have poor recall when they are processing at a much deeper level than expected.

​

In Soul Contract, children with 4s need to learn to trust and children with 11s need to learn to build their own structures of truth. They may need new information to fit with what they already believe before they can absorb it. Or they may take on other people’s dysfunctional patterns because this is easier than finding their own way, which will work better for them.

​

Children with 8s tend to feel uncomfortable in their bodies, and kids with 6s can struggle with anger and frustration when their creativity is blocked.

 

For me, learning disability and gifted sit in the same boat, because a child who feels they understand things easily may become overconfident, and not realize that effort will eventually be required, and then not know how to handle it when it is. In fact, there is an entire Human Design type (Manifesting Generators, 35% of the population) who are prone to missing steps and becoming very frustrated when things don’t work out for them in the end. Their learning is step-wise, not gradual. One minute they don’t understand anything, and then next, they’ve mastered it.

 

Finally, children with an open identity in Human Design amplify the behaviour of the people around them (and feel very uncomfortable around people who do not like themselves). My eldest and youngest cope with this by being absent a lot.

There is even a test that the school will administer to screen for learning disabilities and giftedness, but did you know that there is a hidden category in there, that they don’t even tell your kids’ teachers, which pretty much says “this kid can not learn the way that school is traditionally taught”? My middle child falls into this category. She tries harder than her older brother and younger sister and attends more often, but she gets the same grades. As late readers, all my kids have found other ways to access the information they need to get by. This is why I don’t really believe in learning disabilities, more the body is not settled enough to learn what you want the child to learn, or, the information you want them to learn doesn’t resonate with them. There are a lot of things that we take as fact, when they are just opinion or what someone wants us to believe or how they want us to think and learn, but we are different. There are of course ways for Esogetics to make learning easier, by relaxing and reconnecting the brain, and to learn more about the way I work, see:

Before accepting a learning disability label, it is worth asking: does this child (and their school) know how they learn best? Does the environment support their needs? Are they being asked to learn things that are aligned with their truth?

 

Sometimes the square peg doesn't fit into the round hole because it was never meant to.
