Books for and about visual-spatial learners

Copies of Upside-Down Brilliance are available from Helen Dudeney at Australian Gifted Support.

Dr. Linda Silverman coined the term “visual-spatial learner” in 1981 to describe the unique gifts of people who think in images.  They get the big picture because they see the world through artists’ eyes.  They remember what they see, but forget what they hear. They’re disorganized, can’t spell and have no sense of time, but they have an infectious sense of humor, wild imaginations and can lose themselves completely in the joy of the moment. Visual-spatial brilliance created the computer and the Internet, the vivid displays at the Olympics, and the International Space Station.

Upside-Down Brilliance:  The Visual-Spatial Learner is the blueprint for parenting, teaching and living with these delightfully different beings.  It is also a manual for discovering and honoring your own hidden gifts.
