Our daughter now has friends!

In general, we notice a big difference in her. one of the best things is that she now has friends, and is actively playing with them at school break time. This is a first.

My attention and hearing has improved.

The up and down sound sweeps were most useful for me I think, and my family have definitely  noticed a difference in my hearing and attention, which is great. It is always the start of a sentence that I tend to miss, and then attempt to ‘fill in’ with guesswork. What came across clearly for me in the exercises was the crucial role that paying attention pays in identifying the correct sound at the start of a word.

M is doing well at school - even English is improving!

Thanks very much for all your support, you’ve been so kind and supportive throughout the past year. M is doing well at school and even English is improving. We think the program has helped in small ways, she is struggling less with overall hearing and her English is certainly better.
