Elyssa’s Reading Success: Confidence, Classroom Participation, and IM

Elyssa is a 13 year-old-girl who is diagnosed with Mild Intellectual Impairment.

She is in Special Education classes and has trouble in school.

Elyssa has problems understanding simple commands, following directions, paying attention and focusing on the task at hand.

She often keeps her head down when speaking and does not make eye contact.

Her mom described her as “spacey.”

After 6 weeks of going through Interactive Metronome (IM) training, improvements started to show in school.

Elyssa is reading more fluently and enjoys it more.

Her teacher reported that she responds to questions in a timelier manner and is now able to complete 2 or 3 part commands.

She is also more confident and now participates in classroom discussions.

Elyssa was even able to test out of 2 of her Special Education classes!

Elyssa’s mom attributes her successes to IM and couldn’t be happier.
