Do Multiple Intelligences Trump Accommodations for Adults?

The best parts of my work come in cool calls or emails from interesting people ... who use MITA ... or who wonder about what a brain based center does from 9 to 5.

Today, for instance,  an email from Linda caught my eye and summoned a response. 

A Canadian college student, Linda, splashed serotonin from her email into my busy day … for two reasons. MI.jpg

First, I’m intrigued by the sheer sense of curiosity that peppered her post.

She wrote that in her course … “Adults with Learning Disabilities” … she saw Multiple Intelligences Theory as a tool for adult learning. She’d referenced my work … “Curriculum for Success” … which is part of a series I wrote for Channel 13 Professional Development Workshops. But this adult learner clearly wanted to know more!

Second, I’m fascinated by Linda’s question … How do multiple intelligences relate to adult learning disabilities?

It concerned Linda that labels such as …  accommodations” … may make adults see themselves as different or inferior. What do you think?  

In Linda’s words … “I am really turned off by what I regard as negative labeling in this area.”

Linda wondered about accommodations that may not be needed to assist adults with learning disabilities if their Multiple Intelligences were optimized as learning tools.

What an intriguing notion for all adults … and certainly one to investigate with solid research. Do you agree?

In the meantime, Linda, here are a few related questions that faculty and students tossed into the ring at a recent higher education conference I led on the human brain. Perhaps their triggers would mix with your own fine insights about how to draw from stronger intelligences in ways that shore up weaker areas.

To take your ideas to the next level … why not survey your workplace … to see how brainpower’s being used. Would that segue into more research of interest on your inspired topic?

Do let us know where it leads though … because now I'm sitting on the edge of my chair with curiosity too.
