A really good program for our kids

Hello friends,

It's been a really long time since we posted any real information. Well here's a new bit of it:

We moved out of New York State (which, if you don't have a really good reason to do so, is not suggested for any family with a special member) and we found that the available services where e are now are not going to get us where we want to be with our Mendele.

So, a friend of ours from the great state of Florida (I hope that when you read this you will be inspired to share the story of your child with all of ourmendele's fans) , told us about an incredible change that had happened in their son's development.

This change was brought about by the good work of the National Association for Child Development. These people evaluate the clients every area of development and send you home with a customized "Home school curriculum".

Boruch Hashem our Mendele is can recognize numbers up to thirty, can count up to six dots on a page, knows all the Hebrew Aleph-Bet and can do them all with the vowel Kumatz. There's much more besides.

If you want to see positive change in your child's mental (and sometimes physical) development you might want to look into these guys.

Now, they are not free nor are they inexpensive but they were kind enough to really work with us on the finance front.

Whoa. You do know that he is way ahead of a typically developing child, right?
My sons both knew most of the Alef Beis by age 3 and everyone who knew about it was surprised that they knew it so young.
The cheider menahel was upset about it at our sons' interviews because he (erroneously) thought that since they know the oysios before starting cheider, they will be bored in class.

Mendele is obviously an extremely bright little boy with huge potential and has wonderful, dedicated parents!

It's encouraging to see that a special needs child can achieve so much more than expected- it gives me hope for my daughter.
