This is the best thing we have ever used. My daughter even thinks so too! She has even stated: see, I’m not dumb mom, I did it. I knew she wasn’t dumb but because of her struggles she has always felt she was no matter how you tried to tell her otherwise.
Upon starting the original Dyslexia Program, we took her off of the Ritalin she was on so as to be able to see if the Audiblox really would work as they say. I am so happy to report that it does. We have just completed 40 hours of the program and I am seeing results.
At about 25 hours, I was skeptical as to when would I see these results carry over to daily tasks. In fact, I had a letter started to ask Susan about this very thing. I was seeing her accomplish the goals of Audiblox and her concentration was getting better but I still wondered how was all this going to fit together with everyday life. Needless to say, the most amazing thing happened before I even sent the letter to Susan, so she never even got a chance to reply.
I gave my daughter some directions to follow while I made lunch. These included getting out supplies from various areas, finding the information needed to complete the work, and finally writing the completed work on the proper paper completely, neatly, and correctly. This said, BEFORE AUDIBLOX this would never have been carried out without many questions to reassure herself of following directions correctly. Then when she was finished you would still find errors in work or directions not followed ectera.
I was absolutely amazed. Number one, she THOUGHT through how she should go about getting her supplies. One of these supplies were various encyclopedias. BEFORE AUDIBLOX she would have gotten one book, took it to the table, found the information, wrote it on her paper (partially incorrect) then asked, now what do I do? AFTER AUDIBLOX, she collected all her papers, glue, and pencils from three different areas. Then proceeded to THINK about how to complete the work ahead of her. She went to the encyclopedia shelf and pulled out all 5 books that she would need at one time (WOW). Then, she went to the table and completed the assignment that I had given her all by herself before I could even make our sandwiches and serve lunch. I WAS SO AMAZED. I just knew she must have done them wrong as usual. But EXCITEDLY enough she not only did it correct, but neatly, and completely as was the expected goal.
I can truly say Thank You to Audiblox as they are making a difference in the life of my daughter. I do have to be honest though it does take a commitment from you and your child. I believe that the work attitude of the child is the key to success with this program.
I hope this has been helpful to you.
