Daisy has actually improved this week. The daily teacher feedback has read different this week. She got the star of the day at Gymnastics today.  She also was able to sit for long unsupported in the Eleven plus lessons yesterday.  Although her attention is still suboptimal, I see a lot of improvement.

This week has been really good.

I have also noticed her increasing ability to understand complex instructions.

She is beginning to engage in more reciprocal conversations.

Her attention sustainability, though still short lived, is getting better.

And from a teacher:  Excellent behaviour, and more work completed in the lesson than ever. No toilet visits and compliance for about 30% of the tasks which is probably double what I have ever seen before.

So far everything I’m experiencing is promising, to the point of being miraculous. Anthony is speaking so much more, he’s trying to tell me about his day in nursery. It’s a little echolalia still but he’s really trying to find his words and saying things I’ve never heard him speak about.

At the weekend he blew me away. We met a friend for dinner after a day at Peppa Pig World. Anthony was really hungry and wanted his chips so he says to the waitress as clear as day “excuse me, can I have chips”

2 weeks later:

Anthony continues to make great progress. His words are getting clearer daily, his sleep is improving. He blew me away at the weekend by asking the very first question he’s ever asked me

Thank you for all your help with my son and his reading.

He now prefers to read a book to us. I think this probably shows his progress.

I would like again to thank you for all your support and help over the last few years. We have all really appreciated it. He has gone from a place where we thought he might never read to one where he can at times enjoy it. There are still days he finds very hard and more challenges lie ahead but he has had a good foundation with your help.

Many thanks and my best wishes

‘I’m so pleased we are doing FF. thank you! My daughter picked up a sudoku book and did 15 puzzles in a go and loved it! This wouldn’t have happened before. I am still doing all the sessions with her and can see how amazing this program is for strengthening her logical thinking and processing! Thank you! S’

I am very excited to inform you about the improvements that I see in my son. His communication has improved drastically. As I mentioned before he literally thinks before he speaks as opposed to linking random words.

And the best part is my friends see the improvement too. Also, for the first time he joined in the game of hide and seek with other children!

I am absolutely delighted to see the progress that my son has made in merely 4 weeks on Fast ForWord.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for making dreams come true.I am delighted to report that my daughter has had a vast improvement in many areas!!!  I believe this is due to the wonder of The Listening Program.

Mary is so dedicated and always available to discuss any problems. As a result, our son is making a huge amount of progress. I would thoroughly recommend Mary Kidson and Smart Processing.

Please accept our gratitude for all your support, encouragement and direction whilst Emma has been doing Fast ForWord. She has clearly benefited greatly from the programme. We found your weekly summaries and tips and direction a really valuable translation of the reports that we received each week.

What a difference.. since using FastForword the brain 🧠 training Programme with Smart Processing We have seen incredible changes in our day to day challenges. Below is a list of tasks that in the past caused stress, anxiety and triggered meltdowns. But now we can complete ✅ them with ease 😁

Thank you for all your help, time and energy over the year so far.  It has been great to have you just an email away, and you have been so supportive. It has been a great pleasure working with you.

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.

After just 8 weeks on the programmes suggested by Mary I can’t recognise my son! He is more thoughtful and everyone has seen improvements in him. I am delighted.

My son made huge improvements. Thank you.
