Why Do Some People Find Thinking Skills
Hard?
1. A different brain map:
Scientists believe that some people just have different
neural circuitry (the pathways we talked about earlier) in
their brain.
They may be great at some things, like sports, art, looking
after others or building things.
They may find other things hard,
such as writing, listening for a
long time or staying focused on
one thing.
Just like other parts of the human body - some people
have different eyesight and need glasses, some people
don’t. Our brains are all different too.
Just like needing glasses, when
someone has problems with
Thinking Skills, they need
things to help them manage
better.
