Here's another possibility.  Go to www.inspiration.com , click on Inspiration, 
then click on videos and webcasts.  The company would probably know if 
Inspiration is already in any nearby schools, where your son might request some 
tryout access.  There's also a free trial option.

>From the website description:
Students build graphic organizers, including concept maps, webs, mind maps and 
idea maps, in Inspiration to:
Brainstorm -  Plan  - Organize  - Think  - Outline  - Present 

This is an organizational tool that relies on visual information, so I don't 
know if that would be a mismatch or would benefit him with the direct, hands-on 
involvement.

Hello list,
 
My son is 21 years old.  He is a Junior in college and struggles  despite 
working extremely hard.  After years of trying to determine why  learning is 
so difficult for him, a neuropsychologist discovered that he does  not 
visualize AT ALL when he reads or when he listens.  
 
I have read The Mosaic of Thought and have followed the mailing list for a  
couple months now trying to figure out how to help him. 
 
We tried IdeaChain by Mindprime over the Summer and had some success but  
the work he is doing in college is much too abstract for me to try the 
methods  used in that program.
 
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can help him with subjects like  
Biology/Physiology, Statistics, or any other college level material?
 
Thank you!
 
Karen
