From Failing School to Coming Fourth in Class

In first grade it became clear that Anene Ferreira could not fend for herself. She experienced enormous problems in sounding and recognizing words, reversed letters, had a poor memory and had no concept of time. When tested, however, it seemed that she was one of the most intelligent children in her class, says Mrs. Ferreira.

During her second year in primary school a neurologist diagnosed Anene as dyslexic. She failed the mid-year exam and her class teacher foretold that Anene would never be able to pass second grade. She suggested that Anene attend a school for learning-disabled children.

Her parents started with Audiblox during the second term of second grade. Beyond expectations, Anene was promoted to third grade. She improved gradually... In the mid-year exam of fourth grade she already held seventh position in her class with an average of 69.7 percent and at the end of that year fourth position with 73.9 percent average.

Mrs. Ferreira comments: "I do not want to derogate the work of Anene's teachers, but in my heart I am convinced that Audiblox played a great part in her improvement. As a mother who went through the traumatic experience of hearing that I had to send my child to a school for learning-disabled children, I cannot thank Audiblox enough."
