Monica, age 12
“Before we started Brain Integration, my daughter had a very rough 5th and 6th grade experience. She was struggling socially, very underconfident, and even mildly depressive. Academically, she was struggling too. Everything felt like it was bringing her down, and she was just going through all of these different challenges and really struggling.” — Monica’s mom
Before beginning Brain Integration, Monica experienced challenges across multiple areas. She struggled socially, had low confidence, and found learning difficult and discouraging.
Initial assessment indicated reduced integration between the two hemispheres of the brain, impacting coordination, learning, and processing. She had not developed strong cross-body coordination early in life, and this was reflected in her movement patterns.
Her reading comprehension was approximately 30% on a 3rd grade level passage. Working memory and attention were also below average.
Following Brain Integration:
- Reading comprehension improved to 75% or higher
- Working memory and processing speed increased significantly
- Cross-body coordination became more integrated
- Demonstrated the ability to process and recall complex information (e.g., spelling unfamiliar 7-letter words forward and backward)
“She is a much happier child and way more confident. She takes initiative and has really taken charge of her learning. It feels like I have a completely different kid now.” — Monica’s mom
Academically, Monica became more engaged and willing to work through challenges. She transitioned into a more self-directed learning environment and successfully took on advanced coursework, including 8th grade math while in 7th grade.
Socially, she became more confident and outgoing, initiating conversations and forming connections more easily.
“She is no longer shy and reserved. The biggest change has been her confidence and ability to overcome social anxiety.” — Monica’s mom
Monica’s progress reflects meaningful improvements in both cognitive function and overall confidence, allowing her to engage more fully in learning and social environments.
