How does the program affect a person’s self-esteem? ^Top
Improvement in self-esteem is usually seen in the first few days of the program as the person begins to experience success with learning for the first time.
Can your method help solve other learning challenges? ^Top
Yes. Here are a few examples:
- Dyscalculia (math problems)
- Dysgraphia (handwriting difficulties)
- ADD (attention deficit disorder)
- Auditory perception difficulties
- Motor coordination difficulties
- Problems with time and organization
These stem from the same cause as dyslexia, so they too can be addressed.

No. Our method utilizes the client's strengths. It unleashes their ability to learn quickly and thoroughly. In fact, their natural abilities are enhanced.
