Language processing?

“Language processing” or “processing” is a term you’ll see often in our posts.  First, let’s clarify that language is much more than the spoken word. Language is the information received by the brain, stored and recalled when needed. Language is conversation, auditory and visual cues, written directions and so much more.  Processing is what your brain does with language.

If you think of your brain as a huge file room with rows and rows of filing cabinets, when information (language) is received whether it be something you saw or heard or read or felt that information is stored in your file room. For some people and for a variety of reasons the filing system used by their brain is not the correct order.

 

 

Imagine if your employer told you to go to the file room and retrieve an important file, you open the first filing cabinet to find none of the files are in alphabetical order. In fact the filing system makes no sense to you at all. How long do you think it will take you to find that all important file?

For people with processing deficits the filing system chaos in their brain can make even the easiest task difficult or at the very least laborious.

The programs used by The Therapy Group help to re-order that file system and strenghten the neuro-pathways (routes) from information intake to the correct file cabinet.
