The following question is from Maggie H.
“I have been homeschooling for almost 7 years now and have a 13 year old boy who has a difficult time with processing issues. We would like to get more help and have heard of several alternatives to which I have become very confused. I am curious to find out if any readers have heard of, or participated in, one of two programs: Brain Balance OR Arrowsmith. Both are a type of alternative brain therapy for LD’s. Both promise big changes and cost similarly. However, Arrowsmith is a longer run program out of Canada and Brain Balance is a shorter duration about 12 weeks.
One thought is to try both programs BUT our finances (and my husband) have spoken loudly and it’s not possible at this time.”
