Another word for processing is operating.  Each person is unique in the way they operate in their internal world to process information.  This includes what a person’s operating system pays attention to or ignores, and also includes the internal world languages used for processing, and how this language operates to include or exclude, magnify or reduce, and many other similar types of discriminations.

People never really notice these processes, but in fact we have three major processing languages – Auditory (sound), Visual (images) and Kinesthetic (emotion and reaction).  We, therefore, have three types of processing, and three different styles of learning and functioning – auditory, visual and kinesthetic.  The most commonly used modality for internal processing is visual, followed by auditory, and then kinesthetic.

Responses in each of these modalities can be affected by how we feel, or by past events and current events, or by our intentions and current behaviors.  People have characteristic patterns of thinking above things, visualizing them in their mind, engaging in self-talk, and working out how they feel emotionally.

A key set of factors in our work with people of all ages involves a determination of the processing skills that they have.  Problems with processing create difficulties in school, learning disabilities, problems in the workplace with conflicting working and personal styles, and difficulties with communication affecting relationships.

A key set of processes have been developed involving programs to assist with processing difficulties, around we can construct changes in processing to construct positive changes in learning and behavior:

• Neuro therapy
• Auditory Processing – The Listening Program (TLP)
• Visual Processing
