One Parent’s Story: Impulse Control and Socialization

"My daughter has made significant progress since you recommended she use Step Up to Learn last year. She has completed about 65 days of lessons, and Step Up has helped with her self-regulation, impulse control, bilateral coordination, socialization, eye contact, letter recall, handwriting, overall comprehension, and more.

I definitely notice a difference on the days where she takes time to complete a lesson in Step Up. On those days, she is more able to make connections between ideas and key concepts; demonstrates understanding in her math, spelling, and other lessons; and her handwriting is more controlled.

She also has more patience and a calmer demeanor. She is now able to engage in extended play time, including complicated board games, with siblings and other friends, which she could not do just a couple months ago.

We plan to continue using Step Up for many years. Thank you for introducing us to this valuable resource!"

One Parent’s Story: Focus and Organization

“Step Up to Learn was life changing for my son! In preschool, he struggled to learn days, months, and letter sounds.  He didn’t like reading, being read to, or writing. He had difficulty with letter reversals such as b and d, and was disorganized.  In his early elementary school years, he received special services for struggling readers. He didn’t like school, (I didn’t know it at the time, but see now how hard it was for him to learn), he struggled with reading comprehension, and used humor to deflect from how much he didn’t understand.  

Within months of starting the program, he became organized at managing his materials, homework, and even cleaning his room at home.  He became focused and grew so much confidence in his ability to learn. My son had all the signs of Dyslexia at age 5, and after the program rarely struggles with this. 

As a mom, it was exciting seeing him start reading for fun and start enjoying school!  He is now an Honors student making good grades, doing it all independently and with confidence.  Thank you for providing this wonderful program that has made such a huge difference in his life!”
