Fourteen-year-old boy with literacy difficulties

Following Johansen IAS A's mother wrote the following:

"I always felt that A. was quite an able child, but had a problem spelling and was very reluctant to read. It was finally suggested that he had a discrepancy between his oral and his written work. As a parent it is often very difficult to put your finger on a problem, you just know that something isn't working as well as it should.

When A. started the Johansen IAS programme he showed a little scepticism but was very willing to have a go at anything that might help him do well. By this stage A. felt that he should do better at school, he tried very hard but sometimes found it difficult to settle to a task, especially homework. Once he started listening to his CDs, I was amazed at how committed he was, almost never missing an evening listening session. In fact it got to the stage when I did not have to remind him, he just got on with it.

I do feel that A. gained some self-confidence almost immediately, just knowing that someone understands what you are going through helps.

Throughout the year A. began to become much more motivated, more organised and much more willing to settle to homework. Organising and planning homework schedules no longer seemed to be a problem, he just got on with things without any serious prompting from myself.

After a year and a bit I really feel that A. has gained a great deal from the Johansen IAS. He is very conscientious at school, works hard and now expects a high standard of work from himself. He has gained tremendous self-confidence and with that has done very well academically."
