Why Learning Charms?
See what our parents are saying...
Email from parent whose middle schooler completed the Interactive Metronome (I.M.) Home program:
"Update on Jxxxx: After completing 25+ sessions of IM, he has shown great improvement. He is in all Honors classes and made straight A's this 9 weeks (last year he made B's). His teachers report that they are having no problems with him at ALL in class. He is getting along with peers and even working well in groups. His standardized test scores jumped 10 points in math to the 97th percentile and 5 point in reading to the 90th percentile from the Spring to the Fall. He also scored in the 99th percentile in science. He comes home and starts on his homework right away without being told and finishes quickly. Because he is getting his work done, Jxxxx has had time to play on a recreational football team. It is so nice that he has time to play and be a kid. Last year, he worked from the time he got home until the time he went to bed on homework. We didn't have any time for extracurricular activities. The final benefit was that we were able to reduce his dosage of medication. Thanks for being willing to do the IM Home with him. It had a significant impact on him!!!"

Email correspondence (names omitted) from a parent to a teacher. The child had been receiving handwriting tutoring for 3 sessions at this point.
"Hey Mrs. xxx,
I was writing to you just to check in about X's progress since starting to work with the OT. We have noticed his handwriting has improved, but want to see what other changes you have seen since our last conference, and your thoughts on how long we should continue. "
Response from teacher:
"Thank you for touching base. I have noticed significant progress with X's fine motor. I can't wait for you to see it when their portfolio's go home in the spring. I think this progress carries over with his classwork, there is less frustration with the mechanical process of writing so he is able to get his thoughts on paper a little easier..."

"My boys went to summer camp last year and also took speech therapy at Learning Charms. We had such a wonderful experience with Stephanie and her highly trained professionals. Stephanie also assisted me with a possible OT issue and was incredibly helpful in dealing with our issues. And so caring! We can't thank her enough for having a great place for kids to work on issues such as speech and OT!! It's an incredible resource and highly recommend it. The kids think it's a blast and are learning too!!! Thanks Stephanie - Keep up the awesome work!" -Selena M.

"We have had a great experience at Learning Charms! Stephanie is working with my six-year old son on handwriting. He is excited to go every week and enjoys the bright, cheerful space. Stephanie is skilled at making the activities fun, engaging, and purposeful. My son is making improvements in his writing, and I am learning positive and creative ways to prompt him when he is doing his homework. I highly recommend Learning Charms!" - Susan J.

"Was sure my daughter was going to dread going to an OT to work on handwriting, but instead she kept asking when she was able to come back!"
