Dear Millenium Kids,
Thomas started high school this year and I was very concerned that he would have difficulty managing his time and completing his work on time schedule.
So far he is doing better than I expected and I believe that part of these improvements are due to his participation in the PACE Program last summer.
He is completing his assignments on time and is conscientious in planning ahead and being prepared for upcoming tests. His printing and handwriting have improved also.
Thank you Gillian, Ivor and Lindi for your patience and encouragement with Thomas in the PACE program!
Dear Gillian,
On behalf of our son, Mark, we would like to thank you and Lindi for the excellent program you set up for him. He enjoyed the 10 week session working with you.
Mark has shown improvement in many areas and he feels much more confident about his school curriculum. He has not had any angry outbursts although he has been frustrated by his regular school work. He has told us he likes math now. Before Christmas he was really struggling and now he has the coping skills (using Brain Gym) to help himself get through things.
Another noticeable improvement is getting his homework done. He comes home from school and gets all his work done with out hesitation. I think the confidence he has gained makes him proud of all his achievements and he wants to do well.
His report card this last term showed improvement in all areas that were below average last term. He was very proud of that achievement.
We are happy that we found your program and that it worked so well for Mark.
Thank you.
I came upon the Listening Program by accident. Initially I saw an ad that would help my daughter's problem. Upon further evaluation by Gillian Liebrandt, she recommended the listening program as being more suitable for Maria's problem. The results of the cognitive test showed that Maria had problems in attention and in general learning skills.
Maria came into the program with distinct problem areas in learning. She would be easily distracted and learning to stay on task to complete an assignment would be difficult for her. Her content of speech and speech structure were not at her age level. She could speak but when she spoke it was nonsensical and irrelevant to the topic at hand.
My main concern was her attention span and speech. I knew there was a problem but I needed to pinpoint it and find an answer. The Listening Program did just that. In just two weeks of this intensive program I saw results. Maria is more articulate and can talk about things in a sensible and specific manner. Her uncle noticed the improvement and said it was best as he can engage in a decent conversation with Maria. She is more verbal and inquisitive. Her improvements in speech have led to more productivity in her written assignments. She is able to complete her work and focus her energy at the task at hand.
Overall, the Listening Program has met my goals and expectations for my daughter. I am not overly concerned for Maria now that she has benefited from this program. The Listening Program has eased my mind tremendously because I know there is an alternative method in dealing with learning deficits. It is in no way a cure but it is an effective tool that can only ensure continued success.
Dear Lindi,
I want to thank you for your time, expertise and efforts with Leslie over the past few months. She is doing better at school, remembers things easier and continues to show improvements in all areas of her life. I know that there were times that weren't easy but you stuck with it and so did Leslie and it was great!!
I would like to make an appointment with you for next week just to get some guidance on how I should proceed with Leslie at home.
Thank you again for being such a great coach!!
Dear Gillian & Ivor,
We want to thank you for the wonderful caring attention that both you and also Lindi gave to our grand-daughter, Beth. You crammed a lot into a couple of months, as you tried to do PACE as well as Mastering the Code. It has paid off so well. We noticed a great change while she was with us. Since she has been back at school, our daughter tells us she is doing so much better than last year, in her reading, spelling and comprehension. Susan spends time with her, reviewing both programs, and she recognizes the difference that the few weeks that you spent with Beth have made to her. She no longer struggles with her assignments, reads because she wants to, and can discuss what she has read. Her spelling is not perfect, but much improved. At the parent-teacher conference recently, her teacher told Susan that Beth is coping better academically and interestingly, that seems to have improved her behavior and discipline.
So, thank you for being there when we needed just the sort of help you are qualified to give.
Regards to all of you
Valerie & John Landmor (Grandparents of Beth)
Dear Gillian and Ivor,
Just, wanted to update you on Beth's progress in school since she took that really intensive program from you this past summer. I've noticed a considerable difference from this year since last. She seems to have adjusted into Junior High quite well and is coping nicely with school. The other day we were using her imagery skills to memorize the vocabulary words in science (and they were not that easy).
I must be getting old. At any rate, she has done really well. The first quarter is over and I received her grades this week along with the "Iowa Tests of Basic Skills" scores. This is the test that is given to the children shortly after school starts from grade 1-12.
This test was one of the reasons why I knew Beth needed help. It tests the children in Reading/Language/Math/Social Studies/Science. She has always been about 2 grade levels below and always struggled with school. She was really excited this year when nothing was below the average line and I think for the first time she realized that her summer work had paid off. She is still below her class average, but mostly by only less than half a grade.
Her overall reading composite score went from 4.8 to 6.2 which is wonderful as she has a lot of reading this year.
We are still doing a lesson each week in both Master the Code and PACE. She just flies through PACE--in the other she is also doing quite well -- I have noticed that she still hasn't brought the principles into her school work totally and I have to remind her. Hopefully, it will all come together and be retained in the brain.
Thanks again for all your hard work --- I will keep you informed as to her progress. By the way, she is also doing a play (The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker) right now which opens tomorrow evening, so even with her late nights, she is still coping well.
Hope everything is well with you both. Thank you!
love
Susan
