Do You Suspect ADD or ADHD?
A second-grader was observed by many parents and teachers who informed the mother that her child must be ADHD and should be put on Ritalin.  However, motor skill testing revealed a combination of developed motor skills whose symptoms mimic ADD and ADHD.  Within two weeks after beginning motor skill exercises specifically for the areas of underdevelopment, the mother began hearing comments such as, "What have you done with your child?  It's amazing!  Whatever it is, I want it for my child."

Grades Went From "F"s to "B"s in Three Subjects.
An eighth grader who is intelligent and studies diligently had not been able to pass a single history test in 22 weeks of school.  Reading comprehension problems made it difficult to grasp the main idea of what was read.  Therefore grades in English and science were also low.  Motor skill testing was done at approximately the same time that dietary changes of eliminating caffeine and excess sugar were made. 

Within the first two weeks, the student could tell a difference in mental clarity.  Self-control improved and poor conduct grades became a thing of the past.  Grades of 81 and 80 were earned on history tests.  After approximately two months of daily motor skill activities, the student received a report-card grade of a "B" in English and Bible. This was quite a jump from the "F" received in those subjects on the previous report card. 

The student can definitely feel a difference in mental abilities when motor skill activities are preformed or when they are not.  Forgetting to do motor skill activities one day while rushing to get to school on time for standardized testing resulted in a feeling of frustration for the student, but it also resulted in a greater determination to allow five minutes for motor skill activities in order to give the brain a "vitamin pill".
