We all learn and acquire information in our own way.
For neurodivergent learners this challenge is compounded because their unique learning style is fundamentally unseen, at times unknown and unrecognized in the current formal education system.
Kadon Captain has 25 years experience as a Teacher and 7 years experience professionally tutoring and coaching neurodiverse students to new confidence.
She knows the challenges they face and this inspired the creation of the Open Minded Practice where Kadon works with students all over Auckland - seeing and supporting each students uniqueness.
She has seen firsthand the impact of unrecognised learning blocks that show up as supposed ‘disruptive behaviour’:
- lack of interest/attendance or
- poor academic performance.
Very often these first warning signals of a student's struggles only emerge when their learning challenges have been unrecognized for far too long already.
She is dedicated to assessing, acknowledging and supporting each student, no matter what their personal challenge. Kadon stands as an educational advocate for students equipping them with adaptive learning skills and confidence for life.
