Case Study: Cooper Is Now “Talking Up a Storm”

“It’s like watching a flower blossom. He’s changed so much.” – Cooper’s mother

Reading and Language Delays

Cooper’s first diagnosis at 5 years of age was a receptive-expressive language disorder. Because of weak language processing, he hears information at a different rate than other children. This affected his progress in school, his social interactions, and even his self-esteem.

Reading comprehension was his biggest challenge at school. Cooper was unable to pass the state third-grade reading test after two attempts and was required to attend summer school.

His reading level actually declined over the brief summer session, prompting his mother to seek advice and interventions. A specialist recommended Fast ForWord.

Early Results Once At Gemm Learning

He began his program during summer break.

Cooper found the program exercises fun. He was extremely motivated and willing to put in the work. He loved the online rewards system and looked forward to his monthly points.

After only a month of working with GemmLearning:

“It was like a light bulb going off. Things just started to turn.” – Cooper’s mother

By the time Cooper started school in the fall, his teacher observed that he was participating in small groups, raising his hand, and more confident.

Talkative and Enjoys Helping Others

Cooper’s reading grades eventually went from C’s and D’s to A’s and B’s. The once quiet boy is now helping other children find Bible passages in Sunday school and chatting with children all over the world while playing Wii U.

“It’s like watching a flower blossom.” His mom said. “He’s changed so much.”

She credited the Fast ForWord program for helping Cooper and continued, “I would hands down recommend it. It’s definitely worth the money to see the positive changes in your child.”
