Dear CyberLearning Technology,

I have two sons who have just completed 13 months of using the in-home SBG technology. I am thrilled to see the changes that have occurred during this year.

I had previous experience with the office-based program and had been excited to see the improvement that occurred. However, as time passed, the results faded and both boys required medication. The office-based treatments were expensive and time consuming, to say the least. Insurance coverage covered only part of the cost. Providing them with the “tune-ups” that were recommended added to the overall cost and was inconvenient.

When I learned about the development of the new home program, I was thrilled beyond words. The idea that the administration of the treatment could be completed at home without all of the travel was such a gift. The system was the only way we would ever have Play Station in our home...my boys were thrilled!! When I think of the cost of the system and project it to the cost of the treatments…the treatment cost continues to fall as the number of treatments continues to climb. The system, while it had a learning curve, is very easy to set up and run. We are at the point, now, where my sons help by logging the date and turning off the system.

My eldest son is 14 years and is diagnosed with ADHD with impulsivity, OCD and bipolar. Treatment for bipolar was not possible at the time that the office-base program was in provided. My son took three medications, with multiple changes, still not achieving satisfactory results. He required constant reminders to get to his schoolwork and complete it. It was not unusual to find that he had wondered away from his books and was then engaged in one of his hobbies. Homework took hours to complete. He could not remember details related to assignments. Reminders were needed on an intense basis to complete regular hygiene. He had been identified as a child with multiple learning disabilities. We actually put him back a grade in Math, due to the fact that he did not demonstrate and adequate understanding of the material.

Now, many months later, I stand in awe at the accomplishments of the last year. My son is now a Black Belt in karate, after taking a 300-question test and writing a 1000 word essay. He is a consistent B, who is now motivated to complete his schoolwork in a timely manner. He is at grade level for Math. His standardized test scores jumped and are much more reflective of his learning abilities rather than his disabilities. He practices his instrument, without the frequent reminders of the past. He is much better in his personal hygiene. He shows a level of maturity that is on target with his age. He has a part-time job, watching the home, plants, animals and mail of a neighbor. His general mood is more even- tempered with less variability. He has completely come off of one medication and is reduced on one medication by 50%. The neatest part of it all is that he still has the zany side of his personality with all of his creativity and enthusiasm for life that ADHD kids have!!

My second child is 11 years old and diagnosed with ADHD with impulsivity and hyperactivity. He had a difficult time falling asleep. His handwriting, despite 8 weeks of occupational therapy was delayed for his age and illegible. He strongly resisted assignments requiring any type of sentence composition. His math scores in standardized tests fell because he resisted showing his work on paper. Reading was a task. On the rare times that he would read for enjoyment, the book he chose was well below his reading level. It was always very difficult to come up with gift ideas because he has never shown a strong interest in anything on a consistent basis. He NEVER enjoyed any fine-motor activities, such as working with Lego, puzzles, and car models. He had difficulty making and maintaining any friendships.

He is a different child, a year later. He wrote a creative story that was two-pages, double-sided, and typed. His first report card for the school year was straight A's. His handwriting is now legible and he is using cursive. I had a list of ideas for his birthday and Christmas, and they included books. He read four “Harry Potter” books in about 6 weeks. He picks out books at the library. He created “his own” vehicle with Lego. He received a car model for a Christmas…and assembled it with some help from his brother. For his birthday, he was allowed to take some pals to the movies. I needed to put a number cap on his list. He is falling asleep easier and I have to wake him on the weekends, when he sleeps in. He is still the sweetest little fellow with the funniest sense of humor.

My household is much less stressed as activities of daily living are moving along, as one would normally expect. Both boys come and ask for their “Brain Games Time”, especially before tackling a big task, such as a test. Teachers have commented about the noticeable changes and improvement in their work. The program is outstanding!!

I highly recommend the program. Everything about it makes it a win-win situation, from the cost, to the lack of travel for treatment, to the convenience of the program. The results are thrilling!! To see one's child accomplish goals that were once so unattainable is the greatest gift that this program gives to families.

Signing off as one very grateful mother,
