I taught adult learners for a number of years and was an adult learner myself.

The first lesson was always - How do you learn and we talked about different learning styles and the way people process information.

The BBC ran a series in the 1970's with a man called Tony Buzan. Well worth a look also some of the techniques he uses are very relevant to the way that people learn.

I notice that the lady seemed to say that early intervention by specialists was so important. I am sure we all agree with that.
