I remember better in pictures and associations (like linking something you know to new material). Also text works for me to a certain degree.

I've been using the Visceralization technique and have linked pictures, feelings, and sounds. Also I do physical actions in order to retain the information.

Thanks studiot,

I'm reading a book called "Learn more study less" and I'm on a technique called "Visceralization".

The author of the book basically says to try to combine as many senses (including the main five senses hearing,seeing,smelling,touching (sense of touch) and tasting). As possible and make it as real as possible.

The author says that when a person tries to remember. For example a part of a topic from math or computer science.The more senses involved the more likely a person is to remember the subject matter.

Can someone with learning diffuculties (or not), tell me the techniques you use to remember material faster?

Thanks.

Do you have auditory processing disorder? That is, do you need (substantially) more time to consider what the lecturer says before being able to grasp it and move on, or even just take notes? If so then maybe textbooks and online courses may be right for you, as that will allow you to, for the most part, go at your own pace and reread/rewatch whatever you need to.

I think I have mostly an auditory processing disorder and/ or a kinesthetic processing disorder. Math is easy for me, but the hardest part is remembering. Also I process information faster from reading books then lectures. I'm doing an online course for basic math. Sometimes it takes me a couple hours to a day (or two) to get formulas / concepts into my long term memory.

I have at least 50+ ideas I've thought up this year alone for software programs. Even possible inventions.

Am I allowed to discuss book titles? Or the types of books that could make studying easier for me?

Thanks.

I think it would be very hard for you. But you recognise that and you know you will have to put in more effort than the standard students. Things that are worth doing are not easy.

 

I am not sure how your disability will be viewed by a given university. If you were in a wheelchair or something like that then there would be no problem at all. Universities will make certain adjustments if required. Now, I know that universities in the UK will have special help available for students with learning difficulties, such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. You can get extra tuition and more time in exams and so on.

 

It sounds like you have been diagnosed with some condition. Contact the universities that you are interested in and find out what extra help they can offer. Be as open as you can and ask them specific questions if you need to. They may require some formal proof of your condition, but worry about that after they make you an offer.

Thanks I'm in the states. I've been to my local community college on and off for the past five years. They have a whole department dedicated to disabled people. Also I think my disability is processing information (a learning processing disability.

I remember in my last year of high school my school, my school gave me all of the papers documenting my disability and papers related to my Individual educational plan.

Are there any good books / online guides I can use to learn faster?

I could mention some of the ones I've used if it's allowed.

Hi,

I've been out of high school for the past five (going on six) years. As far as I can remember I've been in special education classes. I've been going to my local community college on and off ever since I graduated high school. I've never been able to pass college level courses period. I have a documented disability. Which is processing information at a slower rate than regular students. It can slow me down at times in school. I want to either major in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.

I also want to start my own business related to both Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Also how hard would it be for a student like me?

How hard are the upper class math / science courses required for either of the majors?

Does anyone have any advice on how I can succeed as a disabled student? Or any other resources?

Sorry if this is too long if it's innopropriate a mod can delete this post.
