"Gabriel has actually enjoyed the program. At first he gets frustrated, but once he gets it down, and sometimes it only takes him one session to do, he's excited that he can do it and finds it pretty easy and then it's been five days and he's able to be checked off and on to the next one. He loves the accomplishment of being able to check off completed exercises and levels and even completing his own chart that we print off for exercises. 

I feel that as a family we have seen improvement. Just to do a little refreshing, one of the things Gabriel has is select mutism. Though never actual diagnosed, I believe that's what Suzi and my husband have said he has, and he is now at the point where he will make eye contact without pulling away and usually respond with nonverbal answers. Just recently though he said, "thank you," all on his own after receiving a balloon at the store, and raised his hand willingly when wanting to be chosen for a game with other peers. These moments have been pure joy for me, and I'm sure you can imagine. Though when asked before why he will not talk to peers or answer questions, he says, "why do I have to?" 

We truly believe his mind is working differently and shifting to his actual age of 8, though I'm not entirely sure what that is supposed to be. He is understanding things more and applying more. He also has embraced this school year so far without the same triggers I guess is the best way to put it. For example, Gabriel would get very upset with cursive handwriting and corrections in spelling, and this year he is very calm and accepts the corrections majority of the time."

"Hello Kim! I just wanted to let you know that we started Gabriel 4 days ago with the week 1 step of rhythmic movements. I have instantly noticed differences in his calm behavior and he has even said that he, "feels weird," in a good way." 😯😄 -Melanie

"A few updates on behavior: I have noticed that Jacob is much more vocal these days. I mean, it almost seems like it happened overnight. He told me today that he was sorry for “being inconsiderate. It was used appropriately and was clear and I was shocked 😂 He has also been initiating conversations more. Just some things I have noticed. Thanks again!"❤️

"His speech has improved SO much! He was previously in speech but discharged, and I was afraid he was falling behind again. But since starting this program he is now speaking in functional sentences, asking questions, and even telling jokes at bedtime, which has been amazing to see!"

"So for an update on the week off, so far I have mostly just noticed a little of the throat clearing tick and sort of an eye twitching tick act up again, but it definitely highlighted how they have dramatically reduced since starting which is pretty amazing!! Other than that he has done pretty well."

Child is age 6 and is only 4 weeks into the program.

"Malakai is definitely progressing in his speech, and both his speech therapist and behavioral therapist have noticed the same improvement."

"Kate is making visible improvement in school in all subjects."
