"This week Alex who is taught by Antoinette came to speak to me and
said, 'Ann, can I carry on listening to my music because I really like
it. And also I have noticed that if I do BrainBuilder after TLP I get
better scores!' These comments were spontaneous, not drawn out from
him by questioning by Antoinette, his mother or myself. So I think that
is fantastic coming from an eleven year old who complained how very
bored he was with the music when he began TLP!"

"I have been using the BrainBuilder 3.0 program at the start of
our homeschool day since 9/11/02. The results have amazed me.
I describe my 12-year-old son as a high-maintenance child. I am convinced that if I were to have him tested for ADD, he
would qualify. Besides the intense personality, distractability, and hyperactivity, he has a speech problem. It takes the
patience of Job to listen to him tell a story and his oral reading is even worse. It seems as if his mind goes 300mph and his
mouth gets a bit lost trying to keep up.
When I had him take a base-line test on the first day, he scored at level six in four of the categories and levels five and
four in the remaining two. As of 10/15/02, he has gone up one level in all but one category and two levels in two
categories. His speech has smoothed out considerably and he seldom stutters in his reading. I have been able to shorten
his school day by forty minutes because he is able to focus on his work better and get it done faster.
I expected an improvement in his schoolwork but the speech benefit surprised
me. I am seriously looking into the Sound Health Series. I am also telling
my friends and fellow homeschoolers about this program."

"As a mother of a child who has significant developmental delays,
I have seen first hand the effectiveness of the BrainBuilder program.
BrainBuilder has not only enabled my daughter to retain information
that facilitates learning, but also her maturity level behaviorally
has greatly improved! I am excited that BrainBuilder has been an indispensable
tool that continues to give my daughter the ability to reach her potential
intellectually and to function appropriately in society."
(40 year old father of 3)
"Our entire family loves it! Doing our BrainBuilder exercise feels more
like we are playing a game."
(38 year old mom of her 8 year old daughter)
"I never have to remind Emily to do her exercise, she goes to the computer
to do it herself all the time."
(39 year old male)
"As a child I was labeled a 'poor learner' I wish I would have had access
to a tool like this when I was growing up. For the first time in 39
years I feel smart!"
(13 year old girl)
"Since my family and I started to use the BrainBuilder program everything
feels easier. I love trying to catch up to my Dad's score."
(37 year old mother of 4)
"I have always been organized, but since I began the BrainBuilder program
my ability to logically remove the clutter from an otherwise overwhelming
task has drastically improved. My husband, 4 children and I just moved
from Texas to Maryland. I had my entire house, including the garage,
unpacked and organized in under one-week. Not only that but I could
tell you where everything was. A few months I even started teaching
myself how to play the piano."
(50 year old father of 2)
"My children love the positive messages the program gives them when
they advance a level. They really feel like they are getting smarter.
They are so confident now."
(42 year old mother)
"My son really had difficulty with his social skills. I had my doubts
about the program at first, but since we started the BrainBuilder program
everything has improved for him, auditory, visual and especially his
social skills. He is so much more confident and happy."
(39 year old business owner)
"My concentration level has improved so much, I feel like I have the
patience and ability to really comprehend more."
(64 year old attorney)
"I love being able to go in and see all my statistics. This has helped
me to see what kind of a learner I am. All these years I had always
thought that I was an auditory learner. I never would have guessed I
was visual. Just knowing that has helped to make things so much easier."
(11 year old boy)
"When I read a book with difficult words in it, I feel like I can understand
them more often since using the BrainBuilder program."
