Do you recognise these symptoms:

● having an abundance of energy and find it difficult to fall asleep ?
● tending to be a perfectionist or idealist ?
● having a fear of failure ?
● feeling guilty for not achieving enough ?
● refusing to complete simple tasks ?
● lacking social skills with children of own age ?
● having a low self-esteem and self-worth ?

Being both strong willed and a perfectionist can lead to unwanted behaviours or emotional and social difficulties. In many cases it co-exists with a high IQ or specific giftedness. This can be a mixed blessing as there is often an asynchronous development in areas such as physical, cognitive, emotional and social maturity. This can lead to a number of difficulties which can hold a person back from developing to their full potential.

In many cases the intellect has developed faster than the physical, emotional or social skills. High cognitive abilities, the constant need for intellectual stimulation and often high levels of energy can be very demanding. They require the right mix of sensory and cognitive stimulation and often need to be stimulated in other areas in order to achieve a more balanced development.

Some people find it difficult to cope with their advanced ability to take in information and at times suffer from 'information overload' and stress. Others can only relate to adults and have difficulties socialising in school. Some may find it difficult to cope emotionally with the information flow they receive.

The five senses – hearing, vision, touch, smell and taste – plus our sense of balance and where our body is in the space around us (proprioception) all contribute to how we learn and develop. How the brain receives, filters, processes and interprets the signals from these senses determines how we perceive reality and how we react, behave and express ourselves. The SAS methods are specifically designed to strengthen sensory processing and improve inter-hemispheric synchronisation and communication. The structured training and coaching programmes improve speech & pronunciation, reading & writing, attention & understanding and lead to better behavioural, social and emotional expression.
