Some Kind Words from
Parents and Students.
Mike’s Story
“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 underdeveloped sensory-visual issues, which is present 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.” – Mike R., former student.
Brittany’s Story
“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 Brittanty, 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.” – Maryanne D., parent
Meet Jeff
Please listen to what Jeff Hamill says about his experience 26 years ago with Empowered Learning, getting him into the University of Maryland and onto a path of success.
Meet Collin
“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 least, 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 Center 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!”
