Dakota's Story

Boy, the rumors are
true! You folks at Lindamood-Bell really do work miracles! Last night,
Dakota did math homework that included (let's see if I can even get
this right) irrational numbers between 2 and 3. Yesterday, she worked
on a problem with Sean that involved light years, with billions of
digits!
I had mentioned to Kathy that I thought these last two weeks were all
that I could afford. After talking to Sean last night in our progress
meeting, I am asking that she attend one more week after this one. We
are so close to complete success, I shan't let money be the reason that
stops us. There is no gadget, handbag, or in my case, tattoo, that is
more important than breaking an inherited genetic curse that has
plagued my family for at least four generations. I am the first college
grad in our family, and Dakota may be the first to earn a doctorate;
who knows? You can do so much when you don't think you're stupid!
Thank you so much for basically verifying everything I believed about
Nanci's and Kim's program, and everyone there has been so kind and such
a joy that my daughter says she will miss them. Especially Sean - think
she'll be calling him to ask advice about her new boyfriend even after
she is no longer coming to the Learning Center! Sean has an effortless
ease with children that is truly a talent.
Thank you all again for giving my daughter the gifts of understanding
math and of confidence through the On Cloud Nine program and your
wonderful instructors.

A Mother's Story

Lindamood-Bell was the last attempt I had for getting any help for my boys and boy am
I glad I found them. Both boys had difficulty with reading from day one
of Kindergarten and like most of you I heard the same ol' story, they
will get it, they are smart kids, don't worry about it, etc. etc. The
boys were 3rd and 7th graders when we started with Lindamood-Bell and
it was quite refreshing to be treated as a person who just might know
that their kids could do reading, but they needed help. They looked
over all of the previous testing and did not repeat unnecessary tests.
The testing they did on each boy was then explained to me on what the
test was to show, what my kids did and why, and then what they could do
to get their scores where they needed to be. It made so much sense and
the boys didn't dread having to read and when we left the first time
they both said it was fun.
We did the summer schedule of 8 weeks or maybe 9 for 4 hours a day, 5
days a week and I was dreading getting them up and dealing with
attitude of not wanting to go. Lindamood-Bell made their time there so
much fun, each and every day they came home with smiles and learned a
lot. I didn't have to drag them. Each instructor was friendly and
caring and "hip" to kids' likes and dislikes. To leave them there for 4
hours was a comfort and I never once thought we were spending too much.
Even though there is that shock, but please don't look at the price,
just know that Lindamood-Bell will get your child the help he/she needs.
Last year my 5th grader informed me that a couple of the kids in his
class sure could use Lindamood-Bell. How cool was that! I'm telling ya,
Lindamood-Bell is amazing. I can't ever thank them enough for all they
did and continue to do for my kids. I can call anytime and get help and
reassurance and that means a lot to me. I get teary-eyed just
remembering and thinking of all we went thru before Lindamood-Bell and
then I get teary-eyed thinking of all the help we've received from
Lindamood-Bell.
Thank you, Thank you. All of you at Lindamood-Bell.
