Recent research in neuroscience shows that each brain processes information differently. The way we learn is as individual as DNA or fingerprints. In its research, CAST has identified three primary brain networks and the roles they play in learning.
Learning disabilities such as dyslexia
English language barriers
Emotional or behavioral problems
Lack of interest or engagement
Sensory and physical disabilities

* Lack of interest or engagement
* Sensory and physical disabilities
