A mother shares her experiences with Reading Upgrade:

Hello. I would like to share with any interested persons about my son Tiga, and his experiences with the Reading Upgrade program. We live in Melbourne, Australia and Tiga has just had his 28th birthday. He is Autistic and suffers with an auditory processing deficit as well as dyslexia.

Tiga has never before been able to learn to read despite various reading programs, special schooling and good teachers, throughout his earlier life. More than a year ago whilst surfing the net I discovered the Learning Upgrade website. We liked the interactive simple game style format presented with the trial program.The “go at your own pace” on the various levels and ( for Tiga ) being able to log on anytime and often day or night was more than ideal. No pressure!

It looked so good, so we enrolled. Best thing we have ever done! The program has proved to be the key for unlocking Tigas’ learning to read and you better believe he is a changed man. He generally logs on once or twice a day and because his disability is severe and short term memory poor, his brain tires quickly with information overload. However Tiga is now reading and although he is slower than the general population, it is a giant step forward and improving everyday. As well, he has new found confidence and gained more independence.

Letter from Kimberly B:

I am returning to college and have to take a math placement test. I can not tell you how very happy I am with your Math Upgrade course. I have always avoided math with the explanation that “I’m just not good at it.” Well, I have completed your course in six weeks (about 20 hrs) with a 99.87%. I now have a new found love for math and feel very confident that I will pass my test with flying colors! I have never been as proud of myself (academically that is) as I was when I printed out my Gold Level certificate of achievement!

Message from Ms. Tina L:

Thank you for having this program. 15 years ago I was in a bad car accident that left me with a closed head injury. Through counseling and help from my mom, I reached the place where I wanted to go back to college. Due to the head injury, I had forgotten or lost the biggest majority of what I learned in K-12 for math. Now that I’m working with a Vocational Rehabilitation to go back to school, my psychologist was recommended this site and the Voc Rehab paid for the program.

The Math Upgrade program offers a different way to learn and understand. I want to make a difference in this world instead of being different and this Math program is making all of the things I thought I lost, come back. I had problems with prime numbers, took a days rest and tried again and got it!!

I wouldn’t rate my knowledge of math past at least 8th grade level and this program is making my brain, that was so badly damaged, start to reconnect those lost pathways. I will brag on this program/website for as long as it is here. You and your team do make a difference even in a 37 year old going back to college to one day be a psychologist.

Many best wishes and best of luck,

Tina L
