“Recently, our IEP team lead told me that we would need to work next on our son knowing the sounds of each letter per the document. When she went to work with him on it the next time she saw him, she couldn’t believe how well he knew them already. I was happy to tell her it’s because we’ve been doing writing 8’s for so long (8 months). Cross another goal off the IEP document! I love that we achieved that goal as a “side benefit” while working through BIT!” –Jennifer R

My son was evaluated for vision therapy but we did BIT instead. He is reading now for pleasure, following TV show plotlines better, asking “what?” less often. Slow and steady progress in 6 months time. Dianne, we are so grateful.       -Elizabeth

This week has been a week of great progress that I know you will all understand. My son just turned 7. In September, he could not recall most letters of the alphabet or their sounds. He is great at memorizing as he has the BOB books memorized however, he could not recall alphabet names or sounds. We have been doing Brain Integration Therapy from the beginning, so we are on the writing gate and my son can now recall the letter name of every letter of the alphabet, recall every sound and can put 3 letter sounds together to form words. HE IS READING!! I am so happy for my little guy.

I have been absorbing all the fantastic “Struggling Learner” information from Dianne Craft that I received to the AFHE Conference. This is the third time I’ve sat in on her teaching. WHAT A BLESSING! Her information on the biology of the brain and tools to support and build up skills is awesome. I was reminded of how far the girls really have come in the last 4 years using her Brain Integration Therapy and Right Brain strategies for reading and math. I am inspired and encouraged.

This quote “If ‘Plan A’ didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters. Stay cool” reminds me of something Dianne Craft says when she is teaching on Right Brain techniques. If “Plan A” (which is Left Brain curriculum) isn’t working, then try Plan B (Right Brain stuff)! Let me tell you, we are loving Plan B when A doesn’t work! It’s FANTASTIC! What joy there is in knowing ways to help your kids learn no matter what their style or Brain Dominance is! It’s opened up the world of learning at our house, and we are so thankful and having so much more fun! Thank you Dianne Craft!

I am giddy with excitement at the potential we have unlocked using Right Brain Multiplication Cards by Dianne Craft, Child Diagnostics, Inc. Repetition wasn’t working and frustration levels were high when working on this math skill. Thankful to God for leading me to this answer! God is in the small things, too!!!

We have been doing the brain integration therapy for 7 weeks. My son was diagnosed with “severe dyslexia” 3 years ago. Over the past 2 years he gained ground from a 1grade reading level to a 3rd grade reading level (these past 2 years and where he tested when we started Brain integration therapy.) I decided to test him this week as we are stopping for the week of Christmas. He tested in a 4th grade reading level!!!!! And not just barely either. He read 44 words past where we had to stop with the first placement evaluation. SO thankful. What a way to end the year! Even better…what a way to start the new year! KC

If anyone out there has kids that are bright but struggling to learn, please go check our Dianne Craft and her workshops! She has been invaluable to us! Her techniques have been like turning a flashlight on in the dark, and our little girl can now understand and learn more completely and is having so much fun doing it, it’a like night and day! These workshops will amaze you and open your eyes, and if you are like me, you’ll feel so blessed to have a new approach that actually work to help your child learn. And by the way, this isn’t only a home schooling thing, this is for all kids, who struggle to learn!!!!

C is reading aloud to S, who is sick. I was told by “experts” that C would never read for enjoyment because of her dyslexia. Ha, ha! If this isn’t for enjoyment, I do not know what is! Lots of giggles. Forever grateful to Dianne Craft, and her wonderful ministry to homeschoolers – treating dyslexia and other learning problems with nutrition and exercises. Learning more about this all the time. So grateful to be able to help my kids flourish!

Oh MY!!!!! First off, I’m working with a child who is missing the left half her brain. I wasn’t sure how well this program would work. She has a severe auditory block. Couldn’t repeat a 4-word sentence. Her reading comprehension was non-existent. We’ve been doing the program about 3 weeks. At first, she couldn’t do a single ear-eight, especially on her right side. Today, she did the whole regime on both sides. Then, as we read, she was able to tell me what she was reading and make extensions to other things she knows. I am in tears!
