I am so happy to have a place to share our success. We have been using a relatively new therapy called Interactive Metronome. It has done more for my kids in a fraction of the time that other therapies take. Interactive Metronome helps to build the connections in the brain that honestly, in our one daughters case, were totally scrambled. She suffers from ADHD but also Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She could not balance on one foot, step backwards, walk steps without falling, speak slowly or stay focused. Her issues are very complex and IM has been such a blessing. I have seen huge improvements in gross and fine motor skills as well as her ability to stay more on task. Even when her aggression issues come out, she is able to quickly regroup and pull out of it.

We first used IM with our other daughter, who suffers from CAPD, Dyslexia and Irelen syndrome. She was seeing the white on the page creating rivers going down and was not able to focus on the printed word. She is 11 and was reading on a 2nd grade reading level, maybe. We had spent tons of money and gone to one of the national tutoring places. I was feeling like a failure. My older kids had done fine home schooling, but I just wasn't helping her. Thankfully, I found Kim with Creative Tutors.

IM works on brain function which obviously impacts all areas on one’s life. I have held a meeting at my house for other homeschoolers to learn about IM and see for themselves the results. In just three months, my daughter (CAPD) is now reading Little House on the Prairie books, with a little help, but...Wow! I have seen IM work in other families that chose to complete some IM therapy because they knew of my daughter's struggles and had seen the huge difference in her self esteem and reading abilities following IM. She no longer dreads being in public places where she might be asked to read.

Kim Ashby is our miracle worker and I know 5 families that are or are in the process of using her because the results they have seen in my severely LD children. It has been amazing! She never tries to sell herself, but I have to say that the IM Therapy sells itself! Kim is just the wonderful lady who brings it to us!

IM is a gift to the special needs community and I wish we could get the word out more. Also, Duke hospital ADP and Speech and our family pediatrician have all expressed interest in IM since seeing the results it has attained with our children. Even they see the benefit and difference it has made. We will be adding more of our 9 children to Kim's list of success stories in the future! T.W.
