“My daughter is a two-sport athlete at her high school who struggles with focus and coordination. In the fall, I’d watch her miss passes in field hockey and in the spring, her tennis swing would be a few seconds too late. We enrolled her in the Empowered Learning Transformation program to correct these issues and improve her game. By her junior year, she was on the varsity team for both sports and one of the key playmakers for her field hockey team. What we weren’t expecting was a big increase in her confidence level and keener focus on her homework. Her teachers reported that her performance and focus had notably improved. We noticed homework took less time and that she seemed more relaxed. We signed on with ELTC for focus and coordination in the context of sports and were thrilled at the positive impact it had in all areas of our daughter’s performance, taking her from a stressed B student to a calmer, more confident A student as well. We have much to be thankful for and owe a great deal to ELTC’s fine trainers, Peter and Dr. Bilick.”

“I want to thank you for your help on everything. I remember the time when I was still in workbooks and I couldn’t find out what this word meant and you helped me find it in the dictionary. I remember thinking how wonderful it was to have you helping me… I also remember the quarter turns and how I just couldn’t get it right. But you were right there and I remember finding enough courage to keep going and I got it right. I know I couldn’t have done that without you. I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I will never forever you ever for as long as I live.”

“I want to express my gratitude to the staff for a job well done. Thanks to their efforts, Brittany has finally turned the corner in so many ways. Her teachers and I have seen reading, writing, and social skills improve. I now see higher state test scores and real improvement in grades. But the most impressive change by far is the confidence she has acquired. Her focus has shifted from perceived failures into conversations about positive goals and dreams for her future.

For Brittany, the program took longer than the original estimate, but the results exceeded my expectations. I also experienced a transformation since my initial visit when the plan was to resume the AHAD drug therapy. This approach seemed more a ‘band-aid’ than a solution, but was the only one offered at that time. For me, this program was a last ditch effort to avoid the drugs rather than a true belief it would work. But that has all changed and now I would recommend ELTC to any parent in this same situation.”

“I cannot thank all of you enough for all you’ve done to help my son, Nicholas. I consider this program to be ‘my miracle.’ I have seen such a difference in Nicholas’ schoolwork, self-esteem and physical abilities. Nicholas’ ITBS scores were 78th percentile last year and this year are at the 89th percentile… It takes him less time to study for his tests and he is able to sit and do his homework each day without me constantly trying to get him to re-focus. Nicholas’ teacher has seen improvements in his attention span. I have also noticed that Nicholas has gotten better in sports. He is more focused and is able to ride a bike! He was having so much trouble last year because he couldn’t balance himself, but now he can!

I recommend this program to everyone I know who has attention problems. As a teacher, I have recommended this program to present and past students. It is a truly amazing program!”

“I was diagnosed with ADHD in my teens and began taking Ritalin at 15. I felt stigmatized by the label and hated the nausea and nervousness from the medication. That anxiety led my then-pediatrician to prescribe anxiety and depression medications, which really sidetracked my ability to maintain my team sports and grades. Thanks to Peter Riddle and the Stamford, CT team, I am off medication for the first time in 17 years. Peter’s initial assessment showed DIAGNOSIS, which presents in kids with restlessness. I have felt robbed of my teens by a label slapped on me by my teachers and pediatrician and am grateful to Peter for getting me off medication and on track. My company paid for the treatment as part of a productivity enhancement initiative. It was an investment that has helped so many people in so many ways.”

“I’m in my second year of law school and have been finally stopped struggling thanks to the Empowered Learning team. I’ve always been an A student in spite of working much harder than my siblings and peers. My trouble spots were focus, organization and time management. Words seemed to literally jump around the page making reading and comprehension impossible. I’d get distracted and lose track of time, leaving me scrambling to complete assignments and completely stressed. After a year in the Empowered Learning program, I relearned the basics of learning and was given tools and techniques to focus and organize myself better. I’m still an A student, but now I have a lot less stress and lots more time. I wish I knew about Empowered Learning when I was in elementary school because it would have made my life so much easier. Thanks especially to Peter and Dr. Bilick.”

“Having a child who struggles in school is a huge concern. While our son was intellectually capable of participating in school, he did not fully fit in. Teachers described him as inattentive, disorganized, and said he lacked pride in his work. The school advised us to seek a pediatrician and the pediatrician suggested some medications we could try. Our position was to seek the cause for his behavior. We felt if we could get to the root of the issues then we stood a chance to permanently alter them, or at lease, give our son the tools to be self-sufficient later in life.

After speaking with teachers and parents, we soon learned about Empowered Learning. Their neurological testing was affordable and they conducted some testing during the first consultation. We learned that the causes of cognitive and attention deficits could be altered through engaging physical and mental exercises. Peter Riddle not only explained our son’s social and physical struggles at school, but also elaborated how his learning program would work to correct these issues. We felt it was the right thing to do to allow Empowered Learning to help him strengthen himself.

Since joining The Empowered Learning Centers, he improved his grades and received positive feedback from all seven of his teachers. He has enjoyed seeing and feeling the changes within himself. The program truly worked in altering his ability to focus and gave him the confidence to help himself. We believe the Empowered Learning Transformation Centers™ brought about these changes. We feel good about giving our son the gift of empowerment, self-sufficiency and confidence. We are extremely grateful to Peter Riddle, Dr. Reutter, their wonderful staff of instructors and clinicians. Thank you for making a lasting difference in our son’s life!”
