It has been a thrill to watch him help his classmates and them help him! The students have all worked together, encouraging one another as they have gone through this wonderful program."

There were no overnight miracles or instant behavior changes but over the 10 weeks that he has been in the MATT Program the changes have amazed me. "At first I thought he just wasn't getting it, then all of a sudden he was moving with such concentration that I would never have believed I would ever see. I really appreciate how you talk to the children and you make them responsible for themselves and their actions. I feel this is the best thing we could have ever done for him as well as ourselves.This is better than any medicine they could give him and I am hoping that by continuing with Tai Chi classes that someday he can be taken off his ADHD medicine."
