Here is what one of our current clients says about how their child has gotten HIP:
"To Whom it may concern;
Our son Cody is in the 7th grade at Richfield School. He has been on an IEP (Individualized Education Program) since the third grade and working well below grade level. He was also working weekly with an Occupational Therapist, as he struggled severely with his motor skills. In June 2006, we found out about the HIP program through a friend & decided to give it a try. When Cody first started he could not walk heel to toe, which is one of the exercises used. He could not jump rope or skip. After one three week session, his progress was unimaginable. His self confidence was way up. Cody has always been a quiet & shy child.
We signed up for a second session & have been at it ever since. When school started in August, I could not wait to see if any differences were noticed. Cody has been working in the resource room 75% of his day, every school day, since the third grade. We had a meeting with the resource specialist in September and were told Cody has had much improvement in all areas. Cody now spends one day a week in the resource room & is working at grade level in all areas except math.
Cody has shown improvement in math also. In the past homework time was a battle. He always had missing assignment, and we had to fight just to get it done. This year he hardly ever needs help, there is no fighting, and he is moving along to get up to grade level work. No more homework meltdown. Cody is getting a B in math, and an A in reading.
Cody is full of confidence. He is a totally different kid. We get comments even from family members who notice the difference. He talks more, jokes around more, and seems happier.
Sincerely,
Cheryl K."
