Learn with Sharon
Neurodiversity presents unique challenges for learning and success.
Some people with neurodiversity feel like they’re not smart or capable because of the way their brain works.
Chess is a great tool for neurodiversity because it’s a game that can be learnt with practice and patience. Chess helps to improve problem solving skills, focus, and concentration.
Students who process language differently or require things to be repeated or rephrased, can still reap the benefits of chess. Sharon is an incredibly patient instructor who has vast experience working with a variety of students with ADHA, dyslexia, anxiety, perfectionism, for example and welcomes the opportunity to work with you.
If you are interested in learning more about bringing chess to your neurodiversity audience, please contact Sharon to discuss your needs.
