Success Stories

Mrs. P. J. Spibey, Remedial Teacher, Kalgoorlie: “I would like to tell you how impressed I am with the Audiblox programme. I worked with 10 children last year and we did one hour, three times per week for the whole year. I had one child in the class that I had been doing remedial work with the previous three years with no sign of progress. He remained a real worry to me as to his parents. After only one year of Audiblox, he ended up at the end of last year in the top of his class. He has gained confidence in his abilities and I feel is on the road to success.”

Grayham and Hazel Allot, Duncraig, Perth, WA: “Recently we were able to have a chat with David's teacher and headmaster about his immense improvement at school this past year. We were able to narrow his accomplishments down to two major contributing factors.

“Firstly, his teacher this year noticed that if he gave David a little more time to finish the test or project, there was a marked improvement in what was accomplished. His results boosted his self-esteem which in turn boosted his desire to do better.

“Secondly, his participation in Audiblox (3 times a week) has definitely been the largest factor in his outstanding progress. We did not expect him to ever be presented with the merit certificate of ‘Most Improved Student’ in his school, which he received at the end of last semester. We understand from his teacher that he is a more confident child and that his reading, spelling and maths have improved in ‘leaps and bounds’.

“We are sure that he will go forward into year 6 with the confidence that he has attained through Audiblox and your guidance, and for this you have our gratitude.”

Debbie Roberts, Mullaloo: “Jake, now 8 years, had been suffering badly at school with spelling and reading, and his ability to concentrate was pretty bad. Within a year of going to Audiblox with Corna, Jake is now able to read with confidence and can spell words a lot easier than before. His teacher at school says he is doing very well in class and she can definitely see a big improvement.”

Susan Kane, Duncraig: “When it was suggested to me that I try my 6-year-old son with Audiblox, I was sceptical. Many felt that he could not do anything! His self-esteem and confidence was low and concentration span extremely small. Harry was so slow in doing anything.

“Things were not going better at school, a few months into his first year and we were struggling. Corna asked me to give it 6 months. It was worth the try. Over the last 6 months the change in Harry's abilities and the opinion of himself has been very dramatic. He has continually improved in all areas of learning. He has come ahead in school in leaps and bounds. His reading skills are excellent and I was recently informed by his teacher that he is performing above average. OK, Harry is not the fastest kid on the block, but Audiblox has given him the skills and I believe the confidence to work with what he has got, and that is quite exceptional. In the ordinary school environment this is not necessarily recognized, but with Audiblox and with the enthusiastic and strong leadership of Corna he has been able to develop. Harry is very happy to attend his sessions and can explain what it is all about and what he does during a session.

“I am very sorry to be leaving Perth as I am taking Harry away from Audiblox, but I can see the foundations have been laid and he will not go backwards. (I hope there is Audiblox where we are going to the East of Australia.)

“Both Harry and I are very grateful for finding this system and for the excellent results. We also thank Corna for her determined and caring approach, which has brought out the best in Harry.

“Before starting with Audiblox I was told by the Child Development Centre that Harry was ADHD. I did not believe this to be true at all! He was just a bit lost and confused and needed direction on how to concentrate. Audiblox has given this to him.”

Mark Beech

Mark Beech’s schooling consisted of learning mainly basic life skills. His mother wrote: “The first noticeable improvement in Mark's development since he has been attending the Audiblox course has been the confidence with which he has approached reading. For the last 12 months Mark has shown an interest in reading the daily paper; this has improved dramatically over the last 6 months, where his reading interest seems to have widened. He has just finished to read his first ever book, The Bourne Identity!

“I could only ever judge his writing skills on e-mails, which he would ask me to correct for him. These have always been extremely basic in spelling and grammar. Only just recently have I noticed that e-mails he has written are now longer in text, have better sentence structure and have acceptable spelling (no spell check is used).

“He has always been friendly, but he seems more confident recently. His next milestone will be his attempt at getting his driver's licence. Since he has turned 18 he has totally rejected the idea of trying to sit for his learner's permit. He has done 2 terms at TAFE for a learner's permit course, but has not had the confidence to attempt the task. He has told me recently that he would like to try in the new year.”
