Learning Disabled Child Improves with Nutrients
This comes from a school nurse Carmen Wainwright in Conroe, Texas. Carmen shares good nutrition with parents at her school . This is a story about Jessie and her results with the Shaklee nutritional products for children.
Jessie is a 9 year old with a learning disability. She has trouble focusing and reading. Many tests have proven she is not Autistic, Mentally Retarded or Aspergers Syndrome. She is just a little slow. When she draws a stick person she may have the arms coming out of the head or legs form the torso in the wrong place. That is just the way she sees it in her little mind. Then came Mighty Smart and Incredivites. Her mom ordered on the first day it was available. Jessie was pumped up on her shipment of special vitamins just for her. She was so excited. Then they arrived on
May 13th. She loved the way they tasted. It was her package. She started on them that day.
May 25th she was watching a cartoon educational show on the platypus. They demonstrated how to draw the animal. After the show she told her mom she was going to draw a platypus. She drew it perfectly!!! Her mom was so happy she said this one was for the refrigerator. She never had been able to draw like this before!
On May 26 Jessie as doing her reading. This is difficult for her. She was sounding out her words for her mom. Her focus seemed so much better than usual. Then she came to the word “look” which she did not sound out. Mom noticed she had not and asked her why she had not sounded it out. She replied “that was one of my spelling words from yesterday”. Jessie has not been capable of having this memory before. Mom said she got tears in her eyes at this point. She states that Jessie is just a different child since the vitamins.
Mom anticipates Jessie will have a very improved reading capability by the beginning school year in August. This is just the beginning of the life of Jessie and all the other children in the world who desperately need Mighty Smarts and Incredivites!!
May ’09 Mom told of purchasing many educational things trying to help Jessie learn. Many sat untouched. She had some puzzles with a about 20 pieces each. One day Jessie came home and instead of watching TV wanted to put together her puzzles. Mom was amazed. She got all four puzzles out with her mom stating “just do one at a time.” Jessie continued to dump all four out on the table. Within 20 minutes she had all 4 put together correctly. She had not been able to even put one together before. It was amazing. June 25, ’09 Jessie has started to hold her pencil correctly, is more willing to do work sheets with me and is retaining information much better. (Well, anything on that front is an improvement because she couldn’t retain anything for a very long time before). I told her the other day that 2 and 2 is 5. She told me “Mooooommmmmmm, it is not 5 it is only 4!” Yeah Jessie.
