Attention Deficit Disorder / Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder Patient Testimonials

From Zach himself, an 11 year old ADHD patient...

“Thank you for helping me minimize my problems with ADD. You made it much easier for me to study for tests, and I aced one of them. I finally got some A’s on my report card and it felt great! One of my friends even told his mother about the changes he saw go on in me.

Last year it would have taken me two weeks to finish six questions in class. I couldn’t remember what I read and I often had to re-read the chapters. The parent-teacher conferences were not always positive, and I was often “down in the dumps” when one happened (which was quite often). In class, any noise near me could and would distract me. I wasn’t mentally “there” in class, and when the teacher said my name I went “huh, what?”

At home I had constant arguments with my mother over everything except dinnertime. Mostly we fought over homework, or any other demand made of me. I just couldn’t concentrate. I didn’t even have the weekends free. To make a long story short, I was miserable.

Now, I barely ever fight with my mother, when my teachers say my name, it’s because I know the answer, and I feel “GRRREAT!” I’m making new friends, and my taste in friends is dramatically changing. I was miserable, now I love my life.

What your program has done for me is indescribable. But in a word “Thanks.”
