Erigh was diagnosed with ADHD, dyspraxia, and dyslexia. He was going to fail 4th grade after barely passing 3rd grade. Since attending Edublox, Erigh has been able to concentrate much better, and his school marks increased by about 30%. His mom tells all:
Reasons for enrolling
Erigh was enrolled at Edublox due to his not performing at school. The situation was so bad that he was going to fail 4th grade after barely passing 3rd grade. He did not complete tasks, and the educators could not read his handwriting, which looked like swirls. Although he knew the work, he could not put it on paper. After a thorough medical examination, he was diagnosed with:
- ADHD – Mainly attentive
- Developmental Coordination Disorder (dyspraxia)
- Tourette syndrome
- Learning disorder – Dyslexia
- Anxiety secondary to the above
- Form of eplilepsy that causes him to have “absence.” He would have a seizure without knowing and then be unable to write. The hand will continue writing during this “absence.”
School a much better place
Since attending Edublox, Erigh is able to concentrate much better. His school marks increased by about 30%. His reading has also improved, together with him being able to put his thoughts in writing and it being readable for the educator. His math also increased extensively, and he is positive about school. Previously, he was scared to go to school, knowing that every day would be a struggle. Now, he enjoys going to school. It was also recommended by Edublox, after evaluating his situation, that he be moved to a smaller school, which also made a huge difference.
Edublox made a life-changing difference in Erigh’s life. He can remember better, write, and also study for tests. Previously, he was scared of tests to the extent that he would have severe anxiety. Now, he is confident about tests as he knows how to study and can answer the questions.
He can also put what he has learned in writing and repeat it if asked. He used to get anxious to the extent that he would not eat or sleep if there was a deadline for an assignment. Now, he does all assignments with pride and also did the best in his class with one of his assignments.
Erigh does sports and visits friends
He participates in the school choir and enjoys physical activities at school, like dancing and playing sports. Previously, he did not participate as he struggled to do physical activities, and thus, he was teased. He did not have any friends, but now he visits friends regularly and enjoys playing with his friends.
Attending Edublox has equipped Erigh with the ability to complete tasks independently, learn, understand and repeat his schoolwork, and cope with the challenges he faces daily.
Although still on medication and in need of assistance, there is an extensive improvement in all aspects of his life, to such an extent that with all the challenges he faced and difficulties he had, he can function positively and progress.
