One teacher's experience: "I am a Special Ed teacher, and in my classroom last year I had three brothers ages 15,13 and 9. All three have ADHD and Learning Disabilities. The oldest one had been in my class for four years. He read at a first grade level and despite any methods of instruction or interventions I used, I couldn't seem to help him progress. I did the [HANDLE activities] Face and Skull Tapping, Fist Flower, Ear Muffs and hula hoop activities with all three boys. In one week the oldest improved his reading by three grade levels. I did nothing else different.

The youngest went up a little over a year in reading levels and the middle boy...with the least disability... reported an increased ability to concentrate and focus." – Ozier, Special Education teacher

Instructor: Judith Bluestone, originator of the HANDLE® approach
