Matthew had a speech and languge review this pm. His Dad took him as I couldn't get time off.
Matthew went in, she asked what he had been doing, he chatted for a while about Dore- the exercises that help your brain, and get you to read faster. Then talked about his trip to Dan yr Ogaf caves and school.
He did the test a repeat of the inital test he did back last Nov. Then he had 26/50 indicating word finding problems, together with the talks she had with him back then (all ums and oohs and you knows). This time he had 46/50!!!
Matthew has been discharged from Speech and Language therapy. The therapist was so amazed by Matthew's new found ability and concentration that she said "he's on Ritalin, right?"
WRONG!!
She was amazed.
She commented she didn't need to see him again and you would never know he had had a problem!
She could see no obvious explanation for the increased ability at such an accelerated rate, she was really puzzled. She had only ever seen a difference that marked after a child had been on meds. She had never heard of exercise based programmes. She knows now!!
This confirms the leap on Verbal IQ from 83 to 98 seen on the Wisc IV.
I'll post her write up when she sends it.
