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!!!!

My daughter wrote mirror image backwards and now writes all words correctly. She also had dyslexia and was more than two years behind in her reading level. She just completed the placement test yesterday and is now reading at grade level!!!! My son wrote 99% of his letters from the bottom up and now writes 99% of them from the top down. We love Dianne’s whole program!

My 10 year old son, just did the word recognition test in the back of the BIT manual and could read grade 5, 6, and part of 7. He was seeing the whole word instead of sounding out each syllable. I am so proud and so is he. When we started he could only read the 3rd grade list with ease. We have been doing brain training for 17 weeks! Praise God! Thank you Dianne Craft!     -Jessica

“We have had HUGE success with our 9 yr old. Trouble with math, writing reversals, writing was all over the page. Could not remember spelling words at all…we have a long way to go but she has been flourishing! I learned a whole new approach to teach spelling/math-I will forever be grateful to Diane craft for her program.” – Jacquie C

Even though Dianne’s program takes time lots and lots of time, IT WORKS!!! The improvements I have seen in my daughter make me cry happy tears, It takes a lot of diligence but it is well worth it, believe me. To a point I think Brain Integration Therapy needs to become part of her life. Just like she brushes teeth she does the “dailies” in the morning. So all I have to say for those already doing this program keep on keeping on and the newcomers progress might be minuscule at first but do not give up it will come I promise. When I found Dianne we were almost at the end of the rope!

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.

 I met you at the HEAV convention last year. Thank you for making sense of my struggle in teaching my daughter! She is presently in fourth grade, but I realized from you that she was stuck at about a 1.5 grade level. She is now (after 7 months with the “Right Brain Phonics”)reading at about a third grade level. We still have a ways to go, but I was thrilled at how quickly she has been moving up. In her “free time” I have spied her picking up Dr. Seuss books and reading them to the cat…reading with confidence! – Beth

I want to share a win! I started using these methods with my daughter in March (age 6 at the time, 7 now). Today I assigned a simple report on an animal as part of her geography studies on grasslands. If I had assigned this in the Spring it would have resulted in tears, even if I had only asked for a single sentence and spelled each word for her as she went. Today she wrote three sentences on her own quite happily and has gained so much confidence! I can’t express how incredibly grateful I am for this program!

I remember sitting in the bathroom, fighting back tears. Why couldn’t I teach this obviously bright child how to read? Why couldn’t he write? Was it me? Was it our curriculum? I think we were on our third or fourth phonics curriculum and nothing seemed to work. I didn’t know if he’d ever learn. Some people thought he’d do better if I gave up and put him in school, but my brother had been so hurt by ignorant teachers I just couldn’t do that. They didn’t understand that some children are twice exceptional – gifted AND struggling learners. They thought he was just goofing off. I knew our boy would have the same problem. At the same time, everyone was saying, “Don’t let them label him!” I didn’t realize that no one had to see his test results but us – unless we needed them to! I didn’t realize that a diagnosis might give us a direction to find help, either. When he was ten or so, we heard Dianne Craft speak at a conference. I was amazed. Finally, someone who understood about kids who “were working too hard to learn!” We ordered the materials she recommended and got to work. It was pretty awful at first. He hated doing the exercises. He thought it was “baby stuff,” and threw a fit every day for a while. Now he stands at our booth (when he’s with us) and tells parents, “Don’t listen to their complaining. This stuff changed my life.” It really did. That was the year he learned to read fluently. Later those materials helped him learn to write. Now away at school, he’s a senior whose college just endorsed him for the Rhodes Scholarship for graduate school. What? Yeah, God is good! Anyway, I thought I ought to tell you our story as the school year is getting started and you might be thinking just what I did back then, “I don’t know if I can do this.” Having a struggling learner is one of the hardest things I faced in homeschooling. Dianne Craft’s materials helped us get through it.   Your friend, Melanie Young

 

I started using Brain Integration back in April with my 7 year old daughter. I was just doing the writing 8 (half of the letters) and not the exercises. I started to see improvement and I decided to do all the Brain exercises in June. I’m currently working the once a week Audio blocked gate exercises. Today I was checking my daughters writing book and I was over the moon about her progress. Dianne Craft Braing Therapy exercises are a Miracle for my 7 year old. This is the real deal therapy. It is not expensive and it works. She wrote a Halloween story (no judgement please) 28 September and the other is from 12 August. I didn’t help her about the spacing or any spelling. Happy Mom!
