I watch her grab her work off the shelf when she walks in the door and when she sees me in the parking lot she waves from inside and CONTINUES to work. When she comes out she will share things she's learned that day. Tutoring was necessary because she's starting high school next year and she has been behind in math for a few years, she has worked herself to the bone in school, attending tutoring afterschool and on weekends IN SCHOOL but never off campus. As a last resort I decided to enroll her in a paid tutoring class. I wish I had just gone in this direction years ago, it would have saved her a lot of struggle. Please don't wait if you're on the fence. Your child doesn't have to struggle with math, she or he can succeed.

It won't be overnight and it won't solve every problem your child has, but it will make solid, foundational changes that will hold them in good stead for the rest of their lives. We tried it for our daughter with the most extreme ADHD symptoms and were so pleased, we put our other daughter (with less extreme symptoms) in as well. Our situation: two girls, daily calls and texts from teachers regarding behavior and not paying attention in school. I got an average of 2 calls per girl each day. I dreaded answering my phone and my stomach hurt when I saw the school name pop up on my phone. My husband is dead set against medication; me not so much. So the combination of diet, program and home exercises made sense for us. The cost is really high. Not going to lie about it. But it's worth every single dollar. I've watched first-hand as things started to change - small things like my daughter doing less donkey kicks while she watched her tablet, her starting to do things the 1st or 2nd time I told her, making eye contact when she speaks, and moving to having control over her actions. Finally, both my girls would tell me that they wanted to do better, be better but they couldn't reach those goals. Their brains didn't have the connections to give them that level of control. It's an amazing process to watch and to know that you are hitting the root of the problem rather than applying temporary band-aids.

Last winter, I was recommended by my neighbor to use Mathnasium. She said that they gave her daughter the confidence to believe in herself and do better. Lessons are conducted on site. There is no assigned homework and so I have used this time for "me". It is much better monitoring his progress rather than fussing and getting upset when he doesn't get what I am trying to convey. After my son's first introduction day at Lead Mine Mathnasium, he loved it! He wanted to stay longer. Said he had fun! It's been 4 months now and he scored above average on his first math EOG earning a 5. Leo and Jeff have been very helpful in addressing my concerns when I see my son's completed homework for school. They follow up on his weak areas and definitely gave him the confidence he needed to move forward. Now my son knows he can do better and is reaping a bountiful summer for his great grades. We could not have done it without Mathnasium!

I highly recommend Mathnasium for students struggling in math. My older daughter attended 2 years…read moreago. She just did not understand math the way it was taught in her school. The tutor at Mathnasium tried 3 different approaches and found the one that clicked with my daughter. In 3 months, she went from failing to honor roll in math. When my younger daughter had the same problems in math, I signed her up for math tutoring 3x a week. I assumed that she would have the same success in the same time period. The math tutors showed me how Younger Daughter's challenges were very different than Older Daughter's challenges. These tutors have such patience! They kept working and working with her and never let on how frustrating it was to explain the same concept repeatedly. I knew that I couldn't do the same tutoring at home. They kept her interested in learning and never gave up on her. After a year of tutoring, my daughter finally, finally understood what they had been talking about and her math grades have been increasing ever since. Even before her grades improved, her frustration was reduced. The tutors are so encouraging and they have different ways of approaching the problem. The tutoring is also geared to her level so she doesn't feel left behind or the "stupid one" because all classwork has to stop because she needs yet another explanation. My daughter would jump out of the car and bounce into math tutoring. What better recommendation for a math tutoring than the happy face of my daughter? She loves the environment and I love the results.

I knew more about the TEACHH method, Pivotal Response Training, and basic Applied Behavioral Analysis than the staff. How "a school for children with autism" can run without a qualified director/leader is beyond me. I understand they do have a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst but this begs the question: why isn't the facility in better shape? I have heard he/she is a bully and brings their problems to work with them. What a shame for parents trying to seek help for their children.

My husband and I took a tour of the school and it seemed like there were a lot of activities and resources for the kids despite the building having an industrial feel and looking a bit run down. We decided to apply despite the hundreds of dollars in application fees just to review our paperwork. At the time, we did not realize most ABA places do not do that. They said the typical time from application to start date was usually a few weeks, but ours took 2 months because they had trouble certifying one of their providers with my insurance company. That was understandable, but it's what happened in the meantime that made me rethink the school. It was difficult to get anyone to answer the phone, and most of my messages were never returned. Messages I left with various people were never passed on to the right ones. Nobody knew what was going on and in some cases they didn't even know who to ask. All the while, my insurance company insisted the problem was on the school's end and that they were having consistent trouble getting in touch with them and that the school filed paperwork wrong three times. It gave me the impression of a school whose management is in chaos and disarray. Finally, after all that was sorted out and just days before my daughters were supposed to start, they suddenly sprung us with $5,000 in further application fees and said they required a 1-year contract. None of this had ever been mentioned in person, on the phone, or in the paperwork we signed at any point in the preceding two months. It raised a lot of red flags to be asked to spend a small fortune in unexpected hidden fees and be required to commit to a long-term contract before my girls had even started. Maybe the school is struggling financially and is desperate to extract as much money in fees as possible? I have no idea. I just know no other ABA place has such insanely high hidden fees. Because my kids never had a chance to get therapy here, I really can't speak to the quality of care. All I know is that getting quality care is much more difficult when management is very disorganized.
