My story: Like far too many parents, my expectation of school being a gratifying experience for my son turned into a nightmare, as he entered 4^th grade. Instead of a healthy, happy child who had loved school, I had a sullen, seemingly non-motivated child, whom I thought simply did not try. Despite long hours of helping with homework (2-3 hours a night), tutors, extra help from teachers and special alternative teaching approaches, he hated school. He was asking in the 5^th grade, “when can I quit school, what age can I drop out?”

     After considerable research, I discovered the Crossinology’s Brain Integration Technique (BIT) and traveled to Boulder, Colorado to have him treated by a certified practitioner. Within 6 months my son’s reading level went up, he was excelling in school, confident in himself and no longer asking when he could quit school. He is now a 6^th grader, loves school, can go out for track now because he no longer needs 3 hours for homework and 2 hours a night for a  tutor. He will talk to anyone about Brain Integration.

    He is the reason I became passionate about the Brain Integration Technique and became a certified practitioner. My vision is to see BIT available in every school system across the United States.

• “I am completely amazed. B. went to his room on Sunday to work on reading and writing assignment (fill in the sentence with the correct word from a list, which would require him to read and understand what he read.) Generally I give him about 10 minutes to look things over before I go up to help him figure out what he’s suppose to be doing. He was done before I had the chance and it was all correct. It this even possible when he has not completely finished the treatment? I can’t wait for him to complete the entire program.”

           Thanks so much

• Thank you Star, I was overly excited to hear about BIT when I accessed your massage site at work.  My 6 year old son has ADHD like his older sibling.  When I read about the technique I knew we would have success.  Our first appointment, I was really amazed that you knew more about D just by performing your evaluation.  We watched while you worked on him, I was wondering what kind of results I would see if any.  After the evaluation, I went into the other room to give you my payment and something sparked me to ask D to read.  Knowing he would say “I can’t read” and feel disappointed, he picked up the Dick and Jane book you asked him to read at the beginning of the session and read out loud.  I was so amazed, I was yelling “he can read, thank you Star and thank you Jesus.” I was overwhelmed with emotion, I couldn’t keep this to myself.  When we left your house I phoned my mother and put the phone to his ear…mind you he never stopped reading the book until we got home.  She was crying and yelling, “he can read, my baby can read!”Just a little history, D was struggling with his reading he could sound out the same words up to 5 times and never remember what he had just reed.  After his initial BIT assessment he reed 42 pages of Dick and Jane in seven minutes.  I’m crying now as I’m typing this testimony…I have two children whom suffer from ADHD and finally, I will not have to medicate my youngest son.  My oldest son will be next…thank you Star for finding away for all of us!

• “A. has struggled to learn his times tables all year long despite the fact that he has strong skills in math. Today, he was so proud to bring me home his times tables test of the number 4, this a timed test and not only did he finish it, but got all 10 problems right! He is now on 5’s. He also can write his numbers and not one number 9 is backwards anymore!”

• “I am writing to say, as a 100% disabled vet, who was hit by a lightning strike that left me with nerve, vision, hearing and memory problems. I have tried main stream medical and many alternative methods. I decided to try BIT.  I will say that the improvements I saw as well as those pointed out to me by others was remarkable. My thought process had been scrambled in the lightning and it was difficult to hold my train of thought while teaching or doing many other things. My thinking became more clear and complete, most of all I became less stressed, more relaxed and able to deal with the of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from Vietnam. I can see a huge number of problems that this BIT technique could help.”

          Thank you

• “thought you would be excited to find out B. test score from his speech and language pathologist. When he initially tested back in Aug. 2009 he was in the 6^th percentile of all kids tested in his age group. He has been retested in the last 2 weeks May 2010 and is now testing in the 63^rd percentile, average is 50^th percentile. AWESOME!”

          You rock

• “if we go back 1 month ago March 2010, my son complained 3 out of 5 mornings he had to go to school. He would say “feel my head, do I have a fever, my stomach hurts can I please stay home?” How it seemed Monday through Thursday was not enough days to memorize 5 words and he had 15 to memorize before the test on Friday. Now he tells me after only 2 appointment with you, “Mom, I think this is really helping!” After 2 and ½ weeks A. is a different kid. In the morning when it’s time to get ready for school, he is ready to face the day.”

• “A. DBA (District Benchmark Assessment) test results in Oct. 2009 were math 44 and in  reading 14. After BIT in Nov 2009 she was retested in Feb. 2010 and her DBA (District Benchmark Assessment) results were:  Math 55 that’s an 11 point jump and in  reading 36 that is a 22 point jump up. The teacher told me 5 points they consider a big jump!”

• “C. is doing very well and has tested one point away from gifted! The rest of his school career will be a breeze from a learning perspective.”

• "M. was diagnosed with a slight ADD and was taking 18 mg. of Concerta on a daily basis. Overall M. was a well behaved student and without any major behavior issues, however M. could not focus on school work and was failing some classes and/or needed extensive tutoring. After BIT, M. no longer required medication, no longer required tutoring and is now an independent student and is on track to graduate High School. In fact, M.'s GPA is a 2.85 which was a huge difference from the 1.0 GPA he had previously. For M. BIT worked!"

• “S. mentioned too, that she noticed an improvement in her ability to drive. She has a problem seeing the big picture, which sometimes includes stop signs. She told me she had worked on her homework and finished it. S. had to read from a history book and novel. She did both on her own and did the work in a small amount of time. She stated she felt comfortable with her ability to understand and retain the information.”
