"Cellfield has helped me because I have become more fluent with my reading and I am able to pronounce words better.

I am now looking for harder books to read and I feel better in myself because I can now finish a book and remember what I have been reading."

"Cellfield has been a wonderful experience for us as we have witnessed our daughter become enthusiastic about reading.

For the majority of her school life our daughter has not wanted to read and up until this year she has never finished reading a chapter book.

During the Cellfield program she has enthusiastically been reading every night and has asked to have people listen to her read because she is proud of the progress she has made.

She feels more confident because she can now read instructions and the best thing for us is that she has now found an author that she likes and has asked for these books to be included in her Christmas presents. Something that would have never occured in the past. She is committed to keeping up her reading in the school holidays because she wants to begin next year as she finished this year - on a high!

Thank you to the people of Cellfield who supported and encouraged her and a big thank you to the special ed' teachers at SAC who take a special interest in the children who need extra support"

"Since Ben has been participating in the program I have noticed a significant change in his reading abilities and having a go at words he does not know with more confidence.

Ben has shown a greater willingness to read and reads longer before he makes a mistake and is more fluent. He is showing more expression when he reads and greater interest in what he reads. Ben will now pick up any reading material without being asked and have a go. Ben appears to enjoy reading more and has become more confident in his speech.

Ben's self esteem has greatly improved and he has a newfound confidence when he asks questions.

The change in Ben's approach to reading has not only been noticed by myself but by family and friends."

"I just wanted to drop you a line to show my appreciation for the difference the Cellfield program has made for Mike.

To achieve an improved reading age of nearly two years is sensational and is showing itself in many ways.

Mike's self esteem and belief have lifted, he is no longer (always) considers himself stupid and he is feeling more socially competent and happy.

With some relief, I have not considered re-filling his Ritolin prescription this year and at this point feel we couldn't have asked for a much better result.

I wish you all the best for many more referrals and great results!"

"Martin and I would just like to let you know how Sam's doing since going through the Cellfield program 6 months ago.

As you know his spelling age and reading age were way below his average. His interest in reading was almost zero.

Since having completed the Cellfield program we have seen significant improvement in both his reading and spelling. His reading age has improved by a whole year and his spelling by 20 months. These figures are based on your testing him before entering the program and 4 months after. He is now at his own age group level for both, his reading being slightly higher. His level of confidence has increased hugely and he is finding it a lot easier to pick up a book and read to himself.

These changes didn't occur overnight but they have certainly happened. We feel that the on-going support he's received twice a week from Kip McGrath had been a huge help in Sam achieving these results.

We would like to say a huge thanks to you both and your great team for getting Sam to this current level. He will be back next year for more!!!."

"My Grandson, Daniel's first experience at Cellfield as an 11 year old, was notable for the increase in confidence that he received from participating in a course, which encouraged him to try.

Cellfield diagnosed Daniel's problems and identified the cause. The staff of Cellfield gave him the support, encouragement and kindness that he needed. They also gave a realistic report on his actual ability for parents and teachers so that help could be on going. Back in New Zealand some individual teachers were receptive to the Report and it's findings but assistance for Daniel still had to be paid for privately and investigation and conformation of it's findings had to be carried out locally before it was accepted.

Hand eye co ordination improved to such an extent that Daniel was now able to accurately use a gun on a target. His ball skills improved via practices used by his extra curricular teacher following findings identified by Cellfield. It was felt that Daniel was improving and would benefit from a second visit to Cellfield to assist him continue to progress so twelve months later in May 2006 Daniel went to Cellfield for a second course.

Daniel's second trip to Cellfield was mainly to build on the learning foundation already in place and assist his family to gauge correctly his progress. Daniel grew visibly during this second session. He became more confident in his ability to try new things, more mature in everyday life experiences and for the first time volunteered to read to an adult without being forced to do so. He actually enjoyed what he was doing although still below his age group Daniel continues to advance his learning and improve his skills.

Since coming home he has read books to his parents and me given him by his teacher that were recommended for eight year olds. While this may not be great, it is a big improvement from a reading ability of six, which was where he was twelve months ago. He is reading fluently and with encouragement will progress to more difficult books in time.

I do hope all is well with you both and that Cellfield goes from strength to strength as I do realise its value to so many children. I am so glad it is now available in New Zealand as there are so many children falling through the cracks in our education system. I am sure that many of them are like Daniel and only need the right people to set them on the right path. Sharon, your clinician, was so good with Daniel. His confidence grew with each session and he was happy. This was so important as an unhappy child is not receptive to learning.

I cannot thank you enough for what you all have done."
