Brain Bridges Testimonials 

In 3 months, my son went from struggling to read phonics books, to now reading level 2 (not quite grade level) books willingly, WILLINGLY, to his sister at night. That makes me want to cry as a parent. He is starting to actually comprehend what he reads (still a struggle) but so, so improved from where he was at in August of 2020.

"We have had a very positive experience with the Brain Bridges program. Our nine-year-old has been working with an education therapist, as well as participating in the math and reading classes. We have seen progress and improvement in multiple areas. Our son relates and responds well with his teachers and is able to keep with the pace of the program. Although we are moving from the area, we will keep working with an NILD therapist so he can get the most out of this program."

Sarah Eddlemon

 

I wholeheartedly recommend Brain Bridges program: the thoroughness of his evaluations, professional, explanations, the way therapy was initiated with a fearful child, - all of it worked. Our son went from melting down over homework, no confidence and being unable to be left alone to being a successful confident child who makes friends and is independent. Now, he tries new foods and activities, flies through his schoolwork, and has discovered new abilities such as piano and lacrosse. I love to see the growth and know that he will have fewer struggles in the future because of the work he has done in educational therapy and the skills he has gained. 

His therapist worked to get him to gradually tolerate frustration and occasional failure. He started to grow and succeed, which encouraged him try more. Assignments went from lots of time and tears, to five minutes and great pride in his work. People comment to me about how talkative and confident he seems. They say he has "come out of his shell."

Student: "You remind me of a movie I watched when a man was asked, 'What do you do for a living?', and he replied, 'I make a difference.' - because that's what you do.”

 

Student: "I just don't know how my brain is doing this!" (after saying her entire bluebook page and reading words).
