Each person has his or her own way of learning, and we tend to teach the way we like to learn. What about those clients that learn in ways that are different from our own style? What do we need to be aware of to make sure our clients learn what we want them to learn? In this section we will explore various learning styles and share some tips for recognizing and addressing these styles.
