--J.L., New Hampshire
"My daughter is 8, has Down syndrome, is in first grade, and has been slowly learning sight-words for about a year. On Sunday, I read your instructions and started "Fast Flashing" the words for the book "Spaghetti!". By Tuesday, she said the words before I did when I showed her the cards--so I gave her the book. She read it...she loves it!!!! Thank you. It is so exciting to find something that 'turns the key'."
--Terri A., Rochester, NY
"I attended your presentation on reading in Dayton last Spring, and I want to tell you that my son Reid is doing fabulously. He has Down syndrome and is 6 years old; because of your reading program, he'll be entering kindergarten reading! I'm really excited with his progress. He's done very well with your Spaghetti book and all your other Step One books; and because of your So Many Colors book, now knows and can read all his colors. And the whole family enjoys listening to the "Brain Music"! I'm very, very pleased and tell everyone I can about your reading program."
--Elizabeth H., Dayton, OH
"I like the programmed, sequenced format of the MY MONEY books because it can be used in individual pacing. These workbooks are excellent instructional material for teaching functional math and supporting progress towards money management goals. The workbooks structure objectives for acquiring real, daily life skills."
--Barbara G., Educator, OH
"It's quite difficult to find books for my daughter that have an interesting subject, are easy to read, visually uncluttered, and still aren't baby-ish. So keep writing!"
--Martha J., Sweden
"Laura loves "Spaghetti!" so much that her teachers use it as a reward for
tasks done. All our friends know about Spaghetti, because Laura carries it
everywhere. I used the flash cards, and she learned the words in two
days. I think the flash cards are one of the most important features of your materials...they make the book interactive, as you can create new sentences with them."
--Mayra C., Cincinnati, OH; Mother of Laura, 5, who has Autism and is legally blind
"I attended a seminar a couple of months ago in Louisville sponsored by Down Syndrome of Louisville - I really enjoyed your presentation. After hearing you speak I tried homemade flashcards with my 3 & 1/2 year old with DS and after 2 quick sessions he recognized 2 words!!"
--Terri M., Louisville, KY
"I was thrilled to receive news of your new Peanut Butter Party book! Erik is 8 years old and has mastered your "Spaghetti!" book, which was great."
--JoAnn H., Manchester, CT
"Most books for small children are so cluttered that it is hard to focus on the task at hand. I'm glad I found your web site because I was about to make my own materials! I couldn't find anything in the stores that suits my child's needs."
--Suzanne B., Newark, OH
"Ever since I read your "Spaghetti!" book to my kindergarten class, they keep getting the book off the shelf and laugh and laugh at the pictures and the "thoughts" every time!"
--Sharon H., Dayton, OH
"I can't imagine anyone who works with your materials not being thrilled with them. My students love them."
--Dawn O., Speech Language Pathologist, Ohio
"We got your book "Spaghetti!" and LOVED it. Our daughter who is 7 with
Autism and our 11 year old son with Down Syndrome use it at school time as
their favorite book to read."
--Sherry B., Manlius, NY
"How excited I was to receive the wordless edition of "Macaroni and
Baloney". The day it came, I had a scheduled evaluation with a youngster who
couldn't read. I used your book to see if she could tell me the story. It worked
very well, and I intend to continue using it."
--Jane Andrews, Director Emeritus, Michigan Dyslexia Institute
"My daughter loves the "Spaghetti!" book. She learned to read it easily.
When she gets discouraged with her reading and things get tough, we get the
book out to remind us both that reading can be fun...Your books and the information gained from hearing you speak have been a big help to us."
--Kathy M., Edgewood, KY
"I used your "Macaroni and Baloney" in my high school class. It worked great, is so "hip" and cool, and the concept is right on target. I also used one of your books at home with my 3-year-old son, and he loved it. He learned some of the words right away, and called out the words as we flashed the cards. My wife was so impressed!""
--Leroy G., Special Ed Teacher, Cincinnati, OH
"Spaghetti is delightful! Thank you so much for making Special Reads so
much fun!"
--Nina F., Newburgh, IN
"I was thrilled that my son, Clay, remembered the flash card words after several months of not seeing them...Thank you for making this system available for those of us with this special challenge."
--Barbara R. Ft. Thomas, KY
