Hi, we are looking into this program for our ds9. He struggles with reading and focusing.
It's very very expensive though... Has anyone used the program and seem real measurable results?
Or does anyone have anything to say about the program?

Its not proven anything. I wouldn’t spend the approximate $8000 for a questionable program. There’s therapy too.
Also I heard the person in charge is very difficult to deal with and people didn’t like how they treated (what I heard from a family member who went for evaluation)

I have not used them. I do know someone who took her child, and she was happy.

That said, I am wary, because there are so many ads on it with success stories, "my child wasn't organized, didn't participate in class.. etc. and now with Neurolinks he's doing great like never before" It sounds unrealistic to me, and such things make me wary. (I am also very hesitant to write this, since this is a Jewish organization and I don't want to chas veshalom cause them harm, just pointing this out so a parent should do their due diligence.)

My first reaction when hearing about the program is that it looks like a scam. So much money and so many promises...
But then how is the program around for so long. People obviously use it. Can't be zero impact is being had.
And there is even a second branch. There must be truth to the success stories.

I don't know. I'm very confused. And I desperately want to do something to help my child.

Can you do therapy? It helps my child who has sensory and processing issues. Plus adhd behaviors
Does he have a diagnosis to qualify for SEIT?

[quote="amother"]Someone I know used fastforward, which is a different program, and they were very happy with the results.[/I'llquote]

I did look into it, but the main issue is hebrew reading and fast forward wouldn't help with that.

We have started the process of getting him evaluated but I don't think his adhd tendencies are pronounced enough.

If his main issue is hebrew reading, have you looked into vision therapy or prism glasses? This would show up more in hebrew reading than English reading due to nekudos....

Have you tried the Kriah evaluation made by Torah4Children.com?
It will guide you where the child is holding and they have A Kriah series that helps children with Kriah difficulties.

My son is still on the program. I have no problem with the director/staff.

It is not miracles overnight. But yes, I saw change and still see change. My son is very stubborn and was not very cooperative. But, if the child is motivated and you are ready to commit yourself then I would recommend it.

He is a major hebrew reading specialist and will make you custom worksheets that your p3 can work with. His evaluation is only 250.
Didnt finish the process yet so cant say for sure the results but his finidings make sence.

I don't know about this program specifically, but what you're saying is just wrong. Being around for a long time and opening a second branch doesn't mean the program works, it means they know how to do business.

Sorry but I disagree. You can say that when you are talking about small numbers.

People that sign up to this program is when they hit a dead end. It is an investment of time, effort and money. Their technique made sense to me. You need a ton of patience and perseverance to start seeing change. And on top of that comes the emotional part of noticing how they behaved up until then.

I recommend the program only if you have the time, motivation and patience. And understanding how it can help your kid.

She is just pointing out just because there are lots of ads, and a few branches for a program or place doesn't mean it's not a scam, badly run, etc.

That is not proof for how successful it is at all.
Many people are scammers and/or just have a lot of money.

What you are saying does not contradict what you are quoting. It could be a good program. People doing it and seeing results would demonstrate that. Staying in business for years and opening a second site does not demonstrate that. I was just pointing that out, nothing else.

I agree. Also please remember that some businesses only exist due to continued investments from either family members or elsewhere (meaning the business itself isn’t profitable enough on its own)
I look at the success rate from customers and NOT from the company ads
