Glossary of Terms.
A person who administers a business or public
affairs (administer: Attend to the running of).
Put to practical use, as opposed to theoretical.
A theoretical “mental illness” described in
Psychiatry as “a persistent pattern of inattention and
hyperactivity-impulsivity or both, occurring more frequently and
severely than is typical in individuals at a comparable level of
development”. This is typically treated as a mental illness by
Psychiatry a common treatment being strong Psychotropic drugs
similar to Cocaine.
This is not regarded as an illness in Study
Technology, and the use of any type of drugs in Education is
considered extremely dangerous and counter-productive and we would
strongly caution against this approach.
Children diagnosed with this theoretical
“condition” are often marginalized and stigmatized for life. While
Psychiatry offers no real solution to this problem, this “illness”
usually disappears quite quickly with the use of Study Technology
and the condition is explained and remedied in the Barriers to
Study.
There is also much research indicating a strong
connection between food allergies and “Hyperactivity” and it is
usually found that a visit to a competent Nutritionist combined with
remedying the child’s study difficulties with L. Ron Hubbard’s Study
Technology deals with this “illness”.

Defined by Psychology as: “An abnormal difficulty
in reading and spelling, caused by a condition of the brain”. This
is, once again, a theoretical “condition” and no real explanation is
offered as to what this “condition of the brain” is.
Once again this can often be remedied using
nutritional methods and mostly disappears when the Barriers to Study
are properly remedied.
