Lameez Armien’s Testimonial
January 2011

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff at Edublox for everything you are doing to help the twins Joshua and Jeremiah. Both of them went through a lot of emotional issues, and are now in my care as foster children.

In Grade 2 Jeremiah was diagnosed with ADHD and very severe learning disabilities. He repeated Grade 2 and the following year was promoted to Grade 3 with support.

1.) He was mixing his b's and d's.
2.) He had difficulty in reading and spelling.
3.) He could not concentrate at all and could not remember anything that was taught to him at school.
4.) He had no confidence in himself; every day was a fight with schoolwork, with both of us ending up in tears.
5.) His handwriting was bad; you could often not read anything.

His remedial teacher arranged a meeting with me and suggested I make an appointment with the school's doctor who then recommended Ritalin. Or he had to attend school at Eros which is a special needs school. I was very upset and cried practically every day, because I wanted to help Jeremiah.

After refusing Ritalin and the special needs school, I practically got no extra help from the teachers. A call to the Education Dept for help also reached a dead end. So that meant I had to do something to help him. I felt so alone and it seemed that there was no help.

After lots of prayers, I searched the internet and today I thank the ALMIGHTY God for leading me to Edublox.

Jeremiah has been assessed and needs to attend Edublox for 2 years. He started at Edublox in July 2010.

The results in his December 2010 report are as follows:

1.) Improvement in his reading.
2.) Concentration is better.
3.) His grades for Maths went up from 1's to 3's.
4.) His other subjects went up from 1's to 2's.

Memory is improving so much, he can recall my pin number when I withdraw money at the ATM.

His teacher sent a note saying that his handwriting is now so beautiful I should encourage him in keeping it that way (and this is in cursive!).

Jeremiah was again promoted to Grade 4 with support, but happily and with lots of confidence I can say there is less fighting and less tears about schoolwork. His future seems brighter by the day. He has a long road ahead and it is getting better — remember he only started with Edublox 5 months ago.

Thanks Zainu and the team for all your help and dedication. I am most certainly recommending Edublox to the whole world.

Regards,
Lameez Armien
