while you wait...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Upside-Down Brilliance: The Visual Spatial Learner (Paperback)
I'm told this book is unavailable as we wait for the second printing. In the meantime, I found very useful information on Silverman's website: www.visualspatial.org, including some insightful articles. --mom of a VS learner

Is your child (or are you) a Visual-Spatial Learner?,
By Carolyn K. "Mrs. Hoagie" (Hoagies' Gifted Education Page) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Upside-Down Brilliance: The Visual Spatial Learner (Paperback)
I never knew it, but I don't think like most people. I thought everyone recalled things in bright, colorful pictures, often with sound bites, sometimes even with smells. I assumed that everyone remembered the words in books by remembering where they lay on the page, interspersed with the book's illustrations. That's how I remember, how I think, how I learn... in Upside-Down Brilliance I learned that I am a visual-spatial learner.Upside-Down Brilliance begins by defining the visual-spatial learner (VSL) in a "coconut shell." We aren't easy to define, but Silverman does a thorough job. And reading her description of the auditory-sequential learner was an "aha!" moment for me - I never realized how differently most people think. Dr. Silverman explains the VSLs use of the right brain hemisphere, and uncovers the complications of early ear infections and auditory processing issues, organizational difficulties and AD/HD, even introversion and extraversion and how they interact in the VSL. She explains why VSLs don't fit well with the auditory-sequential educational style of the typical school. And she offers suggestions on how to help these children fit in and learn comfortably in the classroom. Identification and assessment of VSL are illustrated by case studies including test profiles and descriptions, from the casual parental identification by characteristics and preferred playthings, to the professional identification and assessment by standardized ability and other assessments. After comparing gifted learning disabled and gifted VSL children, discussing parenting and teaching recommendations, Dr. Silverman concludes with a chapter on VSL adults, including imposter syndrome and VSL women (yes, we do exist, though we are a minority within a minority!). Upside-Down Brilliance contains so much great information, you'll need to read it more than once. There's so much great information in it that I find myself stopping, going off to deal with what I just learned, and coming back later to continue with the next chapter. I wish someone had explained years ago why my kids and I learn so differently!
