quickly! We have taken him off almost all his medication for sleeping,<br />

he no longer takes allergy pills or sprays, nor does he take any<br />

acid reflux medications. He sleeps great now with no night terrors.<br />

We are very excited about his progress and can't wait for the next<br />

sessions!!"<br />

Autism - “when you’re happy and you know it” - better sleep,<br />

eye contact, more sociable - M’s granddaughter<br />

I would like to share my experience with my 3 years old granddaughter<br />

which <strong>has</strong> been truly remarkable! I observed incredible<br />

changes beginning after the first session. One of the most noteworthy<br />

effects was a change in her sleeping patterns. Normally she<br />

would go to bed about 12 pm and was up by 4 or 4:30 every morning.<br />

After the first session, she slept until almost 8am the next morning.<br />

Since then, she <strong>has</strong> become habitual at retiring about 10 and waking<br />

up about 7:30. (My pregnant daughter is delighted with more sleep<br />

herself too!) Another big change we noticed from the second day<br />

of therapy is making eye contact. She virtually never did this! And<br />

now she will look at each one of us and the length of time she looks<br />

at us is increasing all the time. She <strong>has</strong> become much more verbal<br />

since therapy, and in fact, managed to make a sound for each letter<br />

of the whole alphabet about 2 weeks after the therapy finished.<br />

Before that she only attempted sounds for about 6 or 7 letters. She<br />

is also trying to repeat many more words. Her attention span in<br />

most everything seems to have increased and a few days ago we got<br />

through the WHOLE song of “If you’re happy and you know it clap<br />

your hands...” AND she clapped and stamped too! This was delightful<br />

for my whole family! It <strong>has</strong> been totally exciting indeed.<br />

An update on my granddaughter after completion of a second<br />

treatment.<br />

Her second session was done remotely and I was delighted when<br />

I returned home and saw her more verbal, more attentive, more<br />

social, more everything! But the BEST thing so far (and things just<br />

keep getting better and better!!) was yesterday when she took my<br />

hand and my daughter’s hand and said “come” so clearly and with<br />

intention as she led us into another room and tried to make us sit<br />

on the floor with her to play letters. This is the very first time EVER<br />
