Results
|
|
We are very pleased
with the program. [Our son] has been coming for 8 months and he has made
tremendous progress. He really feels good about learning to read. DIA is
the only thing that has been effective. - Leigh from Newington, CT
|
|
[Our daughter] came
struggling with reading and spelling. She has been here just a month and
she has become a more careful speller, more focused when writing and
more confident overall with school work. - Ann from East Haven, CT
|
|
My daughter has
gone from not reading books to being able to read a Dr. Seuss book. Her
progress in reading is a direct affect of the DIA [program]." -
Lori from West Hartford, CT

My
daughter's reading and spelling skills have improved since she began
therapy. She has more confidence in herself. She was been more
successful in school this year as well. I am extremely pleased with the
therapy she has received at DIA." - Judy from Glastonbury,
CT

I have a ten year
old son with dyslexia. I have seen progress in his reading, spelling
and writing. In general, I believe he is experiencing a "sense of
relief" to be getting academic assistance here. He understands his
disability better and can experience "success" within this
program. After a few weeks of therapy his teacher noted a change
in him at school. Also his standardized test scores improved 55% this
year. Lisa from Bristol, CT
|
We are very pleased
with Pauline's rapport with [our son]. He seems to enjoy working with
her and never complains about coming to therapy. The biggest difference
we've noticed is his willingness to read everyday print, such as, signs,
cereal boxes, game cards, etc. He very rarely did that before.

Our teenage daughter
is a client who was diagnosed by DIA with dyslexia after many years of
struggling academically. Her spelling has clearly improved, and very importantly,
teachers and other school staff through DIA and their own testing now recognize
the foundation of her struggles and are making appropriate accommodations.
