A common phone call that I receive from parents goes something like this:
"My son (or daughter) is so bright but they just can't seem to learn how to read (or to get focused, or to write legibly, or spell...the list goes on and on.)

"We've tried everything.  Nothing seems to help," the parent continues to explain.

Sometimes, by the time I receive that phone call, a long list of things have occurred.  In can be summed up like this---the parents are exhausted, the kids are really tired of trying new and different techniques and they still feel stupid because they can't seem to learn.

But I'm not writing to tell you about therapies and treatments that do not work.  Today I'm telling you about what does work.

We get right to the point, and more precisely, we get to the root of the problem.  How? you ask?

We get to the root of the problem by showing our clients how to take charge of their own ability to focus.  That's only the beginning.

We can guide you or your child as you learn how to use simple tools after an initial assessment.  You can check out more about these methods on my website: http://www.onpointlearning.org/

But let's talk about what happens in the end; after all the work of the program has been accomplished.  Wait, great things do happen after a program but results can be seen long before the 30 hours are over.  Recently, after several hours of work with a wonderful young man, here's what he told me:

"The light bulb comes on easier now! Stuff makes more sense!"

And he wasn't just saying this to make us happy.  His reading scores backed him up.  In the beginning of the week he struggled to read at a early elementary level--his reading was full of errors, substitutions, pauses, reread words and self-corrections.  By the end of the week he had excellent comprehension and was reading at an end of elementary/early middle school level. Now his reading is characterized by one or two substituted words in a passage and almost perfect comprehension.  And the reason I'm not giving you more specific grade level equivalents is because his reading was so improved we didn't have time to finish the testing.  And really the scores are not what matters because now the:

"light bulb has been turned on!"
