When we met Lee Anne a year ago. Our son had been diagnosed with Dyslexia for 2 years. We had moved to Australia the year before, partly because we knew there are good Dyslexia programs here. This had helped to some extent, but our son was still not settling in well at school; partly because he lacked self confidence in class with his new class mates (quite often hanging out with his younger brother’s friends), and partly because he was struggling to learn the reading and spelling of English words, even though he did have good English comprehension. After he sat for a battery of tests, his eye-blinking got so bad that he regularly bumped into items at home; this led us to a referral to Lee Anne by our local Doctor, GP.
What he’s learnt over the past year from Lee Anne:
•To enjoy drinking water
•To focus on the positive things he can achieve
•To stimulate his brain
•To relax his muscles
•To relax and focus when doing any tests at school
•To read, write and express himself in English accurately and easily
•To do maths competently and without anxiety
* To no longer think of himself as 'different' because he'd been given the label of 'dyslexia'.
He is now a much more confident and happier boy. He has made a good friends at school and has a group of class mates he hangs out with during break time. His reading and spelling has hugely improved. He enjoyed reading his first book by himself just a few months ago. In maths he is now in the top group of his class. In the weekends he enjoys playing hockey and soccer in a relaxed mood and has fun. His eye blinking stopped almost straight away and no longer bumps into things.
We are very proud of what he has achieved in the last year. Certainly, our bi-weekly visits to Lee-Anne have significantly contributed to his progress and changed our lives for the better. We are confident that his new look on life will stand him in good stead for a long time to come.
Again, thanks for all your help so far. Our son is so much more confident and this is changing all our lives around him in a positive sense!!!
At our last session, we are delighted to report that there are no longer any signs of his Dyslexia!
