Meet Sean – he’s part of the group now

Sean had problems paying attention and learning in school as well as behaving in large groups with his peers. Last spring he completed Hardy Brain Training program.

After completing the Hardy program, Sean’s parents shared: “In the past, we couldn’t even take Sean out where there was a large group of people. He would get over stimulated and start running around, kicking chairs and generally being disruptive. Recently, we tried again. We took him to hear a speaker at school. He sat there for the entire hour and stayed focused on the speaker.

The Rio School District Psychologist who tested Sean before and after the training explained: “He was previously unavailable for instruction. In fact when I tried to evaluate his level at the beginning of the year, he ran out of the room and refused to finish the exam. Completing the exams after training was a whole different experience. He improved 73% on one exam and 97% on another.”

Sean’s teacher, Mrs. Zuart, has seen big changes in Sean after the training. She observed a 50% improvement in his ability to pay attention, listen and follow directions, and in his self confidence and self esteem as well. She was also pleased to report a 75% improvement in his coordination and motor skills and his ability to work well with the other students. Before training Sean sat alone next to her desk. Now he sits with a partner like the other students and easily participates in group activities.

Most importantly, Sean feels the difference. He is so proud that he sat through the entire state test for the first time and doesn’t get frustrated with writing anymore.
