SUCCESS STORIES
We have a 3-year-old Autistic son who has learned more from your programs than all the therapies combined! If I could point to one single-most useful tool in the progress of our son, it would be your videos!
Thank you so much for playing an integral part in helping my son with Autism to speak! He’s been watching the “Alphabet” for a couple of months now, and he’s saying the letters. Better still, he’s starting to communicate with us! Thank you so much!
Ever since we discovered your programs, my 5-year-old son, who was diagnosed with Autism, has learned to get dressed, tolerate bath and hair-washing, and to spell hundreds of words! You won’t believe how much you have changed our lives. God bless your family.
Our 3-year-old Autistic son was completely nonverbal when his grandparents bought him your programs a year ago. Now, Jake has a vocabulary of 50-60 words and loves your programs. Thank you for helping our visual learner able to communicate with us, teachers and therapists. Your videos have been a Godsend!
