My Child Is Smart, But Struggles With School
My child has always been very good at language, understanding concepts and we thought he’d never have any problems with school, but it turned out exactly the opposite. In fact, it got so bad at school, we pulled him out in third grade with the hopes that we could educate him at home. I would think one day he had the information down pat. The next day he couldn’t remember anything we had spent a large amount of time on. I discovered he had severe problems not only with remembering, but he couldn’t read or do his phonics, either. Then, I happened to hear about a seminar that was being put on by Little Giant Steps. I went and listened to Jan Bedell, a teacher and neuro-educational specialist. As she talked about learning difficulties, she seemed to know all about the problems I was having with my son, as she described a list of symptoms that fit him to a tee. I’m glad to report, after working with her on a neurodevelopmental program, my son is now processing at grade level. The learning problems have disappeared and he’s back in public school at the top of his class. I am so grateful for the help we received from Little Giant Steps and Jan Bedell. M.D.
