Success story : Brain injured child can read, they are fast-reader!!!

[chloe]

Dear Moms,

Hi, Im a mother of  2 year-old girl, her name is Chloe. She was diagnosed with Athetoid Cerebral Palsy. She's so cute and so adorable, eventhough she has limitation. By the way, we live in Indonesia.
I have been doing flash card with her since she is 6 months old, firstly we started with mandarin flash card who got it from Glenn Doman, SIngapore. after 1 year old of age, She was being assessed in Evan THomas Institute, Philadelphia, thus they gave us a lot of Intellectual Program, such as :
1. 20 categories of single words (@5 cards) English, Indonesia and Mandarin, and also
2. Bits of Intelligence with words 10 cats (@10cards)
3.  we have used Little Reader since one year ago
4. She has to read NEW books everyday
Now, she has been seeing up to 10.000 words and up to 2500 Bits, 250 homemade books of 8 year old level (refer to Glenn Doman's intellectual program).
These few days are just like miracle happen to us. Suddenly, she can use FC (Facilitator Communicator) (it's a piece of paper and there alphabet from A-Z written on it, and she can type words, sentences, with this facilitator, it is also the part of Glenn Domans' intellectual program). She started to write down answers when I questioned her, the one that was suprising me is when I asked her what is the highest mountain in the Alps? (after she read books about Alps), she began to write M-O-N-T B-L-A-N-C. im soooooooo touched by her, after 1,5 years of hardworking..
And she began to answer everything about the books or what books she want to read, like yesterday she want to read about Buddhism, radio, Camera. She is a fast reader, dont need to spell each word, I just need to open it fast, she just look and that's IT! but when I ask her question, she began to amaze me, how SMART she is..
I want to share with every mom, who have brain injured or well kids..they are absolutely amazing..just dont give up in every little thing you do!! It's really worth it..
I have seen so many of them (brain injured children) who can read very fast and they are soooo amazing!! They have potential like any other well kids.. Just sometimes we are not sure or we dont know...

Thanks....

That's good to hear! I love when people tell me that their kids like my files. That is why I make them, after all. I should be making some more animal files in the next couple of weeks.

i think the talent she has is called photographic memory ..... a right brain skill, works better for ... hmm brain injured individuals since left brain is slower at developing ... but must train at young age .... congrates.

Dear Moms,

Im sorry for the late reply cause my internet connection problem.
Thank you for the support and encouraging comments.
Yes, what she has a photographic memory, but so far I know it also works for well kids, right?
I just hope it helps improve her control and mobility among other things she is lack of. She is an intensive theraphy everyday using Glenn doman program, but not much results seen yet as far as mobility wise. Im just thankful she is healthy and not having any seizures anymore. Your encouragements are very important to Chloe and our family. Im going to print all your comments for Chloe to see, just so that she knows everyone cares about her.

Thanks again,

Margaret

Dear Chloe,
COngratulations & well done.
It is always very moving and excited to see our own child excel especially when she's unique in her own way.
I wish her well and all the best to her.
Have you thought of teaching her signing at all?

Dear Chloe,
I am so happy for you. I have a brain-injured child too and we went to Philadelphia for the program when my son was 5 yo.  I did reading program with him too.  Like u, there isn't much physical change and it's too stressful for our family so we quit after 18 months.  But I continue doing my own reading program....and now doing LR. Maybe my son started a bit late so I didn't see great results like your daughter, but I met many other children and they are all brilliant! I also saw a 11 yo boy (with corpus callosum agensis) doing FC in front of my eyes and it's quite amazing.
I just want to give u a pat on your back that you did a great job starting the program young.  As for physical, I want you to take a look at ABR (Advanced Biomechanical Rehab). They have centers in Singapore too.  Go to the blog of the founder Leonid Blyum...who is a genius I must say. http://blyum.typepad.com/on_abr_and_beyond On the right side are contact and centres information.  Good luck.
