  1. Anyone have experience with the Now! Program? PLEASE SHARE! My dyslexia professional friends say that it is not evidence-based. Dr. Conway (of NOW! and The Morris Center) states that OG is not evidence-based and his program was tested through double blind peer-reviewed research. My friend whose mom is a neuropsychologist said it was not the highest level of research backing. They state that Lindamood-bell is the only program really backed by solid research. Here is the link for the NOW! Program: http://nowprograms.net/ . What really got my attention is that the ladies from Alabama Game Changers are opening The Morris Center? https://alabamagamechangers.org/agc/ Here is the original Morris Center in Florida: http://themorriscenter.com/
  2. Music (sings in a choir) Loves art Visually based Kinesthetic based Loves YouTube Listening to learningally books Imaginative narrations She has issues with correct expressive use of morphemes, difficulty comprehending grammatical rules, ability to define word and linguistic fluency. Susan Barton said the language issues stand in the way of this being the right program.
  3. My 8 year old daughter has dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, auditory processing issues, sensory issues, ADHD, speech language issues and visual processing issues. I am overwhelmed. I have a background with children with disabilities but I am overwhelmed because of the emotional aspect of this all. I have come to the realization that she is a severe to profound dyslexic (double deficit)with a constellation of challenges. She has left right discrimination issues, visual tracking, working memory issues and phonemic awareness. Her fluency is poor at best 52 CWPM for rehearsed text and worst 32 CWPM on novel text. Some days I think she is learning to read well and some days she is guessing, reversals etc. WHAT SHOULD I DO? My math curriculum works but AAR and AAS do not seem like enough for the learning to stick at this point. She learned some words (233 fluently) but we hit a wall. This is what I have done: OT for 2 years + school OT SLP for 3 years + school SLP Vision therapy for visual attention 6 months Brain beat 2 months Pulled her out of school to homeschool her: 100 easy lessons (dumped it) Saxon 1 (dumped it no number sense) All about reading 1-2 (started 3) All about spelling 1 (started 2) Math-U-See Alpha (started Beta) Earobics step 1 Choir (with music instruction) Art class Theatre class Dance class Lots of audio books on Learning Ally Handwriting without tears (I am a COTA)
  4. I am considering Dyslexia Center of Ga. They state in 40 lessons that they can help kids with dyslexia advance years. I am skeptical. What do you think? Is this Fast forward, Lindamood bell, Handwriting without tears repackaged??? Any advice? I am desperate for help! http://dyslexiacenterofgeorgia.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I have a child with dyslexia and dyscalculia. She is being homeschooled by a tutor using an OG based curriculum. Do you have any suggestions for apps to support her learning? She just got an iPad mini as a support to her schooling for reading, math and even science and social studies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. We have completed 9 sessions of brain beats and 5 more to go. I have to say it is a good program. It is complementary not a miracle. It is worth a shot though. I will give you a true complete review when she (LD and ADHD) has completed it. My son is also completing it (neurotypical).
  7. 4 days into brain beat and I can see how it improves focus and attention as well as rhythm. It is brain training in this area. It is not a magic bullet but a way to strengthen the brain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. My child is on medication, and it is not enough. Brain Beats comes with headphones, button that attaches to a glove and system attachment. They have a 60-day money back guarantee. We are on day 3 of 14. It is too soon to tell a difference. After this, I may try the at-home neurofeedback. My child has double deficit dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, adhd combined type, speech language issues and hypotonia. We need to try and keep trying as all of you.

  9. I bought brain beats which is an IM product. It was $250, and I am sure it does not do as much as IM...but for me it was worth the gamble. Just another option. You can have up to 5 people on it so you may split it with a neighbor or use it with the whole family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. My daughter (4.5) was diagnosed with a pretty significant astigmatism in both eyes. I am getting her glasses this week end. Did you see a change in your child's behavior, attention or coordination once they were given eye glasses (especially whole schooling)? Courtney

  12. Oh, my sil just sent me this site: http://www.virtualspeechcenter.com/ All of the apps look amazing! I like: Wh-island, Word Retrieval and Outdoor Fun. I hope this helps someone
  13. My 4 year old daughter is in speech therapy for expressive and receptive delay. She is not making very good progress. I have been searching online for a great app to use when we are "out and about" with her to make wise use of the time. She has issues with prepositions, proper use of he or she as well as processing speed when asked questions. ***PLEASE do not tell me how simple this is to remediate. My child has a learning issue where these things do not come easy to her no matter HOW MANY times I review with her. She has a significant developmental delay. I am just trying to reach her and teach her in as many ways as possible. **** BTW, we are in therapy for Occupational and Physical therapy. Thanks, Courtney
