How this book 'saved' my children!

Despite my teaching degree, my own children were a total mystery to me. Astoundingly bright in some areas, unbelievably behind in others. One of their unusual traits was that when they ran, they leaned back and flapped their arms up and down beside them.... Then I read this book. It described my children perfectly. Using the book, I evaluated them and began the suggested therapy program. I did the program for 10 minutes, 4 times a day. Now, here is a very interesting note. Their program did NOT include running,yet at the end of 3 weeks they were running upright with their arms bent and close to their bodies! 3 more weeks, and they started to move their arms forward and backward. We continued the therapy and my children's improvement was dramatic.Without this book,it is almost certain that my children would have been condemned to a life of illiteracy and the predjudice our society shows for those who are mentally delayed. I have reccomended this book to hundreds of people. EVERYONE should read it!
