John's Story

Written by Joan V. - John's mother


An excerpt from John's mother's correspondence with us sharing his accomplishments as an adult:

John ..., who went to the Centre 22 years ago is doing great. After graduating Suma Cum Laude from Marietta College and getting his Masters Degree in Accounting from BGSU, he has now passed the exam and will get his CPA. He is working as an Auditor and loves it. He has a nice apartment and even goes to Happy hour on Fridays once in awhile. A big change for a Hyperlexic, once slightly autistic boy.

Because of the Listening Training program he has a full and good life. I am so glad the Centre is still open giving hope and help to those in need. Congratulations on your 25 year anniversary!

William's Story

...life was challenging and you probably wouldn't really call it "living". When I hear the song from Frozen, I could really relate to the line:  "A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen".   Socializing and being part of a community are hard when  you have a child with a social/communication/behavior disorder.

William was 9 years old when we started the program at The Listening Centre. We did two 15 day sessions.  We saw results immediately and we continue to see growth. Clinically speaking: self-regulation has improved, sensory issues subsided, language/communication improved, social/emotional growth has expanded, motor planning and independence has improved, and he is making progress in his academics.
