Maureen Hawke
The ANSUA Learning Centre was established in Brisbane
in 1976 to help children make the most of their lives by increasing their potential
to learn.
Her approach to learning behaviour
and attention problems is said to be different to that of other professionals.
ANSUA treats underlying causes, not symptoms.
When
the underlying causes are overcome the child's ability to process information
and to learn is enhanced. The causes may include developmental delay, poor visual
and auditory processing, delays in reflex integration and undiagnosed food and
chemical sensitivities.
High school students
participating in the ANSUA Developmental School Program improved in dictation/spelling
50% more than a control group.
Maureen
Hawke has worked with children and young people at the ANSUA Learning Centre for
the past 21 years, amassing a wealth of information and expertise in the causes
of learning difficulties and their treatment.
