Success stories

“Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success”
Oscar Wilde

Each client is unique and requires an approach that is specific to their needs and strengths. This is often rewarded with positive changes in the life of the client, often faster than expected and at times in unexpected ways.

Tears of happiness are not uncommon at our Centre, often from adult clients or parents, sometimes from children, and quite often from the staff too. When a child starts to speak their first words, often after years of unsuccessful visits to doctors and hospitals, to child psychologists and speech & language therapists, it’s impossible not to be touched deeply by the fundamental changes that can be evoked in a child’s life.

We feel deeply humbled by the dedication and love of the parents who often have to give their all to ensure that their child can develop and grow to become a fully functioning adult later in life.

We cannot promise miracles and always encourage clients to research and question any solutions offered, including our own. Proper information and knowledge is the key to obtain lasting results. We hope this website helps you in your quest for a brighter future.

On this page we provide a number of typical case studies of actual clients of The Sound Learning Centre:

AIT + LWS

He presented with sensitive hearing, visual perceptual difficulties and low self-esteem. He lost speech at 14 months of age and did not speak again until he was 2½ years old. After AIT and LWS treatment at the Centre he continued to have one more additional series of LWS at home. Immediately after finishing the light treatment at home his mother commented "He is like a different child. It is like he has had an injection of brain cells. Something has clicked!" She is thrilled with his progress. "His reading is brilliant, he can sight read words correctly, for instance Philosophy, Philanthropist, etc." She thinks his reading rate has soared. Error rate is minimal. Before he used to get many words wrong. He would attempt to guess and make lots of mistakes. Now no mistakes! He is very happy because he sees the difference. He is now able to focus and hear and understand things clearly.

A 10 year old boy (Case Study C1TN).

Return to Intro Page with quote.

AIT

"The effect of the treatment is brilliant. He is a different boy. He is thinking for himself and his work is coming on very well. His teacher is amazed at the difference. His temper tantrums have stopped."

Report from parents about their 10 year old boy (Case Study B1SM).

AIT

"I could not understand how a child this dyslexic could improve in reading and spelling so dramatically in such a short period."

Educational Psychologist reporting on a 7 year old boy (Case Study B2FM).

AIT

"Everything was blurred before. Now I can hear myself in class without having to wait to see what the others are doing." Her parents say she is more confident and alive, no longer frustrated and angry. Three months later, her teachers and Brownie mistress reported that marked improvements were continuing to occur.

Report from an 8½ year old girl and her parents (Case Study B3MS).

AIT

"I have never seen such improvements in a child and am amazed by his spelling progress." His grandmother (and guardian) reported that he was no longer aggressive and had stopped punching, kicking, hitting and threatening.

Report from a dyslexia teacher at Addenbrooke's Hospital
on an 8 year old boy who had very painful hearing (Case Study B4EM).

AIT

He started using words comprehensibly and meaningfully within a couple of days. He also started relating to his father whom he had previously avoided.

A 3 year old boy had no speech but knew how to scream (Case Study B5KD).

AIT

Astounded his parents by leaping from isolated words to "I love you Mummy" and "I love you Daddy".

A 4½ year old boy (Case Study B6HN).

AIT

Presented with bulimia and depression and a family history of abuse. After treatment she was eager to start a new life and got a job in a multinational institution abroad.

A young woman in her 30's (Case Study B8UR).

AIT + LWS

Dyslexic and a heavy drug user, presented with deep depression, and talked of committing suicide as his father had done. After AIT and Lightwave together, he was a changed man. He came off the drugs and resumed an active life.

An unemployed young man in his 20's (Case Study B7RK).

AIT + LWS

She presented with dyslexia, very low self esteem, and a constant need to go to the toilet. She became lively, energetic, and happy after just one day of treatment. She no longer needed to go to the toilet so often. Her parents wrote "During the treatment, we could see her changing before our eyes". The girl told us "I have been given a new life. I feel like I have gone through a tunnel and have come out happy and clever".

A 9 year old girl (Case Study B11TR).

AIT + LWS

He presented with depression and suffered from irrational fears. Although intelligent, he was failing accountancy exams repeatedly. His visual fields were initially restricted, with the left eye below 10 degrees. The lightwave stimulation improved them so dramatically that he undertook 2 more series of treatment which extended the fields to the range of 30-50 degrees. He lost the shadows under his eyes, became more confident and alert and passed his accountancy exams. He wrote us saying "I felt the clouds in my mind were definitely clearing away. People commented to me that I looked 'brightened up' and more animated".

Adult male (Case Study B10SO).

LWS

He presented with severe reading and writing difficulties, very poor vision, difficulty functioning by day and general lack of confidence. He could only read pink papers with any ease (i.e. The Financial Times and Loot) and claimed that he had never read a book in his life. We found that he had very restricted visual fields which after light therapy expanded from 10 degrees to 25 degrees. He re-established a normal sleeping pattern, became more confident and alert, was able to perform better, and passed his HND exams with flying colours, coming top of his class.

Adult Male (Case Study B9EH).

NDP

He presented with distorted features and body movements and constant and violent temper tantrums. His features relaxed almost immediately and his handwriting improved significantly. His tantrums have abated and his behaviour is now sufficiently predictable for him to be entrusted with flag carrying for the Scouts public parade. His mother, a special needs teacher, was delighted with his transformation which continued over many months.

A 9 year old boy (Case Study B12NA).

NDP

After significant improvement with learning difficulties from AIT, NDP brought improvement to his balance, physical coordination, and handwriting.

An 11 year old boy (Case Study B13EC).

NDP

She presented with severe balance and coordination problems. After NDP, she improved so much that she delights in skiing and performing on a fun cycle.

A 9 year old girl (Case Study B14AS).

NDP

She suffered from agoraphobia and panic attacks with disabling physical symptoms. Within weeks, she was able to go out alone and was working more effectively. Physical symptoms diminished or disappeared completely.

An adult female in her late 20's (Case Study B15NB).
