I honestly wasn’t expecting that much from the therapy. I figured if it helped Michael a little bit, then it was worth it. I was expecting any change to be gradual, like other therapies that we have done. That is not how it happened with Michael. As soon as our last day was over, Michael asked to go to the bookstore to buy a journal. He started writing immediately, and wrote almost non-stop the entire ride back to Phoenix. He wrote ALL of his letters the correct way, and his handwriting was the best I have ever seen it. He wrote in his journal every day for about 3 weeks.
This was a complete turn-around from a kid who did not like writing at all. It also seemed much easier for him to get things done. He took over simple things like finding his clothes and getting dressed. In the past, it was always a slow struggle to get him on track. In April, his tutor gave him a writing test and compared it to the one she gave him in January. She called me in for a meeting to show me the two samples. She said, “I’m not sure what happened here. In January, he is writing like he is dyslexic and in April he is not. This just does not happen.” I told her about BIT and she has since referred two kids to Laura.
