“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

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 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

 

We started in November of last year. Prior to BIT he HATED reading and had never read a chapter book on his own.In January alone he read 9 chapter books in a series and is currently in book 11!!! He BEGS to read them…takes them on car rides..,reads before bedtime and even when he should be sleeping!!!! I believe BIT and omega3 helped him the most. He is also back to writing stories…page after page off the top of his head!! His reading is becoming so much more fluent and he is not skipping lines like he used to so I know the exercises have helped strengthen his eyes as well. Very thankful for this system and support.   -Tamara

Thank you so much for your program. I actually saw a 2 year improvement in reading after using your program last school year. I’m constantly recommending your program to others because I believe in it and it isn’t time consuming. -DiAnn

Thank you so much. The materials and writings you have put together are so helpful! He’s excited to do the training and exercises now, and put his new abilities to work in lots of ways (I can hardly get him to stop playing catch with whatever’s in his hand; he could never catch it before!).

We started this program in September. Last night I caught my son in bed past bed time WITH A FLASHLIGHT READING A BOOK!!! He has never been an independent reader before and would have done anything to avoid reading. Thank you!

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 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

Thank you very much for your materials. I own most of them. It has made a huge difference in my daughter’s life. Her teacher just told me that she has made tremendous growth since last year.
