Benjamin had severe Autism symptoms, poor eye contact, almost NO language and very poor gross, minor motor skills and social skills. He would only sleep for short periods of time disrupting the whole family.
I'm overwhelmed and delighted how fast these issues are turning around thanks to Lee-Anne MacLeod's specialised therapy support.
Benjamin continues to be wonderful, sleeping through the night and in general a lot calmer. The active sensory seeking pattern i.e.; climbing all over everyone at every opportunity is markedly reduced. He has also shown a remarkable increase in his receptive language following instructions almost immediately, accepting 'NO' for an answer without the usual whinging and all up, being a much happier, delightful little boy. He almost managed the whole of mat time on his cushion the other day – it deflated towards the end but a remarkable and very welcome improvement.
I have been fielding endless questions about the Brain Gym therapy, partly due to the changes and improvements in Benji and my flying down to Perth for his treatment with you.
An update, now three months later:Benj has made terrific progress in his posture and gross motor skills, now pedaling a bike like a demon and starting to independently mimic gestures to songs more consistently. Given this I have snow been able to include the Brain Gym cross lateral exercises that he is beginning to master with his daily regime. Lots of crawling on all fours and using hands to touch opposite sides of his body etc. This is much easier than before we'd have to manually do this for him.
His upper body strength has increased markedly so much so he is managing to crawl out on his hands when on the gym ball. We love your special 'Gym Ball' exercises.
With your help, I feel we will see more dramatic and sustained gains over the next twelve months. His chief deficit now remains speech, however he is progressing well with this with mores words and sentences each day.
My older son:
Sam has also made some terrific gains over the past semester most notably his handwriting has improved dramatically, as has his endurance when writing. He no longer complains of having a ‘hot’ hand when writing and his pencil grip is correct finally. He has also shown great progress in his gross and fine motor abilities and has been attending squad swimming training for the last term which he has thoroughly enjoyed.
Again…I am just so incredibly grateful for the changes in both of my our little men. Benji's increased ability to sit and pay attention for longer periods has opened a whole new world to him and us. THANKYOU!
