I am so glad to have found your website.  I know it has helped numerous children as well as families.  I tutor at a Christian School.  I only wish your seminars were closer so more of our families could attend.  Maybe I can write to you about a few of our children that we are in the process of recommending for Testing due to their learning difficulties. 

I read your newsletter and would like to receive the free Visual Test Kit if possible.

Thank you again for ALL you do.  What a wonderful ministry!

 “Our developmentally delayed 10-year-old son’s social skills have blossomed! He’s doing things that would not have happened 3 months ago. For example…he’s singing in the children’s Christmas musical at church and he’s enjoying the practices. He has volunteered to be a sound technician for the children’s ministry at our church. He’ll run the sound board for children’s church. He’s very excited about that also. He “meets” people better. We used to struggle to get him to go to church and Sunday school because it overwhelmed him. Now, he walks to children’s church on his own. These are wonderful things for us to see. We are seeing academic changes come slowly, in addition to these social changes. We are so very thankful for Little Giant Steps!”   C. W. in Oklahoma,

“Sarah is doing incredibly well.  We noticed a change in her emotional state immediately. I could hardly believe it.  I asked her ten year old brother, Michael, if he noticed a change in her and he said, “Oh yes, she still teases me, but now when she does it, she isn’t being mean!!   Thank you so much for your help.”   Blessings,  CP

Our son, CK, just started Little Giant Steps.  We have been working his program as diligently as possible.  I wanted to tell you about a “little giant step” I experienced last night.  I have never seen him cry because he was genuinely sad.  I have only seed him cry when he was angry, had been disciplined, or did not get his way.  Last night I saw him cry a different “cry”.  It was not the out of control hysterical cry I am used to, but a quiet, sad cry because he was upset about something.

His little brother let our dog  have one of CK’s stuffed animals (a monkey).  The dog bit off the hands and ears. Instead of first getting furious and mad at his brother (normal reaction), CK came to me crying about what had happened to his monkey.  He was upset and very sad for his poor monkey (it was not a human, but at least he showed compassion for something) and CK wanted to be held and consoled by me.  Besides when he has been  ill, it is the first time I can ever remember him acting or feeling “tender”.   I felt like crying myself.  God Bless LGS and the work you all are doing.  What a motivation I experienced to keep moving onward!   ~   CK’s Dad

“Please tell Jan that Thomas has turned a corner in the past two weeks.  His emotional swings are less and his outlook on life is bright.  He’s cleaned his room nicely without being reminded a zillion times, and his “maturity” level has increased — even his teenage sister is complimenting him and commenting on his changes.  We are so encouraged.”  Blessings to you all — S.

Yesterday, I saw a remarkable young man at my office in McKinney, TX.  He is a fine godly young man of thirteen and tests for his red belt in tae kwan do in a couple of weeks.  With the same discipline he has trained himself for his sport, he has disciplined himself to work an LGS program for four months and boosted his reading comprehension score from 7.5 to 12.8, a total of five years and three months improvement!  The guy must be brilliant because he was able to make these amazing gains with poor detail vision.  He and his mother have been very frustrated with schoolwork because he simply cannot see details well enough to catch those careless errors in math.  The main focus of his next program will be to help his eyes work better and to build up his self esteem.  Go for it, guy, you have what it takes to succeed!

Reading At Last

The Neuro-Educational Program has many success stories, here’s an account from a mother who’s son has been on the Little Giant Steps Program:

Last week was a good day, a really good day. We’ve been reading so slow for so long that it startled me one morning when he skimmed easily through a paragraph. I hesitated. Should I try something harder? I did. I pulled out the 2nd grade reader from Rod & Staff. He paused over a few words that were new, but picked up on them easily once he saw them again as he read. Read he did. 3 lessons. He didn’t want to stop. I tried not to get too excited. I mean it must be an easy 3 lessons, right? We put the book away & went back to doing the rest of his program and on with the day. Later that night after all were tucked into bed I happened upon him hidden under the covers, flashlight in hand, reading ahead in his reader. Lesson 7 already! I VERY NICELY made him go put away the book & go to sleep. I went to my office afterward and cried. I cried because I’ve waited since Kindergarten for some sign that things would get better. 10 years wondering if my son would ever be “normal”, whatever that is. We are not out of the woods, but I can see the light ahead. He can read. Let me say it again as I cry. HE CAN READ!!!!    ~  B.Sanderson

        Just a short note of encouragement to you for all your hard work in bringing this program to all of us.Our daughter, Shannon age 11, has ADHD & CAPD and had her initial eval. with Ruth on Feb. 18th. We’ve been on program for about 4 weeks now. Her #. letter sequencing age was 4-5 yrs old at eval., I believe. We’ve neverbeen able to give her more than 2-3 letters at a time when she’s asked how to spell something. Last night, she asked how to spell “Twilight”, I just rattled it off without pausing in the middle and I waited for the backlash…..”WAIT…THAT’S TOO FAST, I CAN’T DO IT THAT FAST!!!” But that never happened. I can’t believe it. A few hours later I pointed it out to her and she smiled and said, ” hummm, maybe I am getting better!”. I think that sole experience will be the best motivator for her. She sees tangible evidence that all this work is actually changing her brain.
