Kei - A Success Story

Kei was born prematurely and developed severe allergies in the early months of life. He was hospitalized with a bacterial infection as an infant, and was diagnosed with asthma at one year of age. He was a hyperactive child with learning problems, and he struggled to keep up with his peers.

At thirteen years of age, he was several years behind his peers both academically and physically. Although he was in junior high school, he was functioning at the third-grade level. In addition, his speech was unclear and disorganized.

His parents attended the What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child Course just before Kei's fourteeth birthday, and they began a home treatment program. Within months, their son began to improve significantly.

The following year, the family began the Intensive Treatment Program, and Kei's reading, writing, and mathematics progressively advanced towards his age level. He began speaking clearly. He started running well and became a successful gymnast. He was an increasingly helpful member of his household.

After a few years of home program, Kei entered the second year of high school. He became the captain of the student council and an assistant captain in sports. He is preparing for the entrance examination for technical college.

His parents write "This is a boy who in the first grade wanted to stop going to school due to his struggles. Seeing him attend school happily every day we feel that that boy never existed. He is a very cheerful and untroubled young man now. We do not have to worry about him at all any more. The Institutes' program was tough and joyous at the same time, and without the program he could not have his good life now."
