Learning (not) a Problem?

For many children, unfortunately, learning is a problem. They seem just like other children and you know that their intelligence is normal or even above average. Yet, their school performance and emotional development appear delayed or inconsistent.

These children excel in some areas but struggle significantly in others. It often seems as if they are "blocked" in certain subjects.

For example, a child may complete homework successfully at home but fails school tests. Or they may be highly capable in many subjects but struggle significantly in one area (such as spelling, reading, or math).

These children have learning difficulties. Their challenges are often subtle and hidden—so much so that they might be considered "invisible disabilities." Often, the problem only becomes noticeable once the child starts school.

Each child with learning difficulties is unique and will not show the same symptoms as another.
The checklist below lists common characteristics you may observe. If a child exhibits only a few of these traits, it does not necessarily mean it has a learning difficulty. Many children display some of these behaviors at different stages of development. However, if multiple signs appear frequently and repeatedly, the child may need additional support, encouragement, or specialized training.

What Can Be Done?

First, we must recognize that these children will not simply grow out of their difficulties. Learning challenges do not disappear on their own. These children are not lazy, stubborn, or uncooperative—they face real obstacles.

The good news: They can be helped.
With the right support, children, parents, and teachers can avoid years of frustration.

Progress is not always quick or easy, but the sooner learning difficulties are identified and addressed, the better the chances of success.

How We Help

At our Institut für Neuro Linguistisches Lernen, we offer practical solutions.

Our learning training program combines Educational Kinesiology and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), along with parent coaching and counseling.

We focus on:

• Removing learning blocks through Educational Kinesiology.
• Teaching learning strategies using NLP techniques. NLP, as a short-term therapy, enables rapid improvements and helps children build confidence.
• Involving parents—our program includes parental guidance and coaching.
• Improving communication between parents and children to create a positive learning environment.
• Showing parents how to make learning easier and more enjoyable for their child.

Our goal: To provide children and parents with individualized and effective support so that learning becomes easier and more successful.

Who Can Benefit from Our Program?

Children and adolescents with:

✅ School-related difficulties, such as:

• Dyscalculia (math difficulties)
• Reading and/or spelling difficulties
• Concentration problems
• Exam and school anxiety
• Gifted children, who may also struggle due to boredom or a lack of suitable learning strategies.

Our Approach

We use individualized assessments and custom training plans in collaboration with parents.

Before starting the learning training, we conduct a detailed learning assessment to identify both the child’s challenges and strengths. This assessment is not about comparing children to their peers but about understanding their unique learning style.

Based on the results, we create a personalized training plan for the child.

Afterward, we hold a parent consultation, where we explain the findings and outline the next steps in the training process.

The Learning Training Process

1. First, we remove learning blocks that disrupt brain coordination. These blocks often prevent children from learning effectively or recalling learned material.
2. Next, we teach children how to learn effectively through improved communication techniques and structured learning strategies. New learning behaviors are developed, and parents receive continuous support.
3. The children learn targeted strategies to address their specific learning challenges.

So that your child can confidently say:
Learning is No Problem!
