Updates from a Special Education Teacher in East Tennesse

January 6, 2011

Dear Everyone, I want to share some exciting progress using the Masgutova work.

I am a Special Education Teacher Associate level one. I took my training in

Kelowna, BC this summer. This year I have been incorporating the Masgutova work

at my school. This morning I had a Grandmother come to me excited to share news

that her Grandson with Autism and Developmental Delays had been reevaluated by

outside sources in Speech Therapy. This was a 6 month reevaluation for him. He

made 5 months of gains! (That is how long I have been working with him! Our

school Physical Therapist walked into my room and saw an immediate difference in

his posture and behavior. He has been in intervention for several years. Pre-K

Special Education. He is now beginning to say words in relation to foods that he

wants or doesn’t want - “NO” instead of a scream, clothes, action verbs and

bodily functions.

Thank you Suzanne Amanor-Wilkes & Pamala Curlee my “Wild Filly” (epilepsy) Has

found a blissful state. For those of you reading my “Wild Filly” was like the

”Energizer Bunny on steroids” She had to be contained in a wheel chair for her

safety and the safety of others, attention span of 10 seconds or less. She now

sits in my lap, has favorite books to look at, is saying words other childrens

names, Plays with toys for up to 10 minutes, little or no aggression.

Thank you Svetlana for your brilliant light in the world of children with

challenges.

Best Regards to everyone, we are in for a wonderful New Year!
