The Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes include two primary programs: Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS®), and Nancibell® Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language comprehension and Thinking® (Visualizing and Verbalizing® or V/V®).
A primary cause of language comprehension problems is difficulty creating an imaged gestalt-a whole. This is called weak concept imagery. This weakness causes individuals to only get "parts" such as a few facts or details rather than the whole picture.
Individuals with weak concept imagery have difficulty with reading comprehension, critical thinking, and may not easily follow directions or connect to conversations.

Individuals become able to image gestalts which include color, and even movement. This improves their language comprehension, reasoning for critical thinking, and expressive language skills.
It is common for individuals to gain years in language comprehension in four weeks of intensive instruction.FDH is not Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes® nor is it affiliated with, certified, endorsed, licensed, monitored or sponsored by Lindamood-Bell®, Nanci Bell, Phyllis Lindamood or Pat Lindamood.
