Autism recovered?

Medical experts say it's not possible to recover autism. We have living proof in the form of three children, that it IS possible. In my blog you will find recovery stories, along with information regarding health that I have learned over the years. And sometimes just snippets of life to give hope that yes, life can be normal after the hard work is done.

Sit back, enjoy, and be hopeful! RECOVERY HAPPENS!

Grace's post-test results with Learning RX

I am blown away!!! I received her results today and in the words of her test administrator, "She rocked that thing!"

Here's a breakdown for anyone interested... probably my mom at least. :D I will post it with the age she tested IN at first, then the age she tested OUT at. The program lasted about 8 months. She will be 9 years old in a few weeks.

Long term memory
9 yr old
10.7 yr old

Retrieval Fluency
7.7 yr old
12.6 yr old

Short-term memory
6.5 yr old
8.2 yr old

Auditory Work Memory
6.3 yr old
13 yr old

Working memory
6.4 yr old
10.3 yr old

Visual processing
13 yr old
13 yr old

Logic and reasoning
6.4 yr old
13.1 yr old

Executive processing speed
6.8 yr old
9 yr old

Processing speed
6.5 yr old
8.3 yr old

Word Attack
7.6 yr old
15.4 yr old

Reading fluency
6 yr old
7.7 yr old

Auditory processing
8.7 yr old
17 yr old!!!!!

Spelling of sounds
7.7 yr old
10.6 yr old

Math fluency
6.3 yr old
8.3 yr old

As you can see, she really did rock Learning RX! The change in her is astonishing; truly! She progessed in every area and most importantly now has reasoning and processing skills far beyond her years. As the guy said today, if you have those two skills, you can go far in life. We also still have all the "stuff" that comes with the program and will continue using it, just to a less intense degree. Reading fluency just needs practice but with word attack skills like that, it's just a matter of time.

From auditory processing disorder to processing skills of a 17 year old... how incredible is that??? This program is absolutely perfect for anyone with learning disabilities but is astonishing for APD.

Those of you who know her or have heard me talk of this, know the intense frustration she has experienced at being unable to learn. This program gave her every tool she needs and was worth every single penny (and it was ALOT of pennies).

I think she can start teaching homeschool now. I'll just sit back and watch. lol
