Overview

Wholistic Problem Solving  works by breaking down the process of problem solving into its primary neurological parts and then directly teaching how these processes work to  a students. Through this I begin a dialogue, an interaction, with an individual about learning that promotes their learning. Ultimately, it puts learning into the control of the learner, so rather than waiting to be taught a concept, they can begin to try to figure out things on their own because they know the tools needed to attack a problem. This is particularly important for those with disabilities because frequently their impairment results in an inability to move smoothly through a problem solving routine.  Other times they simply do not apply a problem solving process to situations because they have never been directly taught to do so and often do not know where or how to begin.
