“Allow me to express my gratitude once more. It’s been 18 months since my son Jon completed your program. As you may recall, when we first approached you, Jon was 16 years old and attending a Special Education unit, where he had spent his entire school life grappling with severe Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and ADD. He had also relied on Ritalin for 8 years.
I am delighted to share that after completing the Raviv program, his teacher observed significant progress and decided to move him to a regular class. In this new setting, he
successfully completed all of his matriculation examinations, with the exception of Math, which he plans to make up during his military service. Furthermore, Jon’s dream of joining the Navy’s special unit has come true!
Most importantly, he has reclaimed his self-esteem, developed a social life (something he never experienced before), and now has a girlfriend!
Thank you so much once again”.

Sincerely,
Jon’s Mother

“I brought my 9-year-old daughter to The Raviv Institute because I noticed that her reading was exceptionally slow for her age, turning into a frustrating and exhausting task.

She often compared herself unfavorably to friends who were more proficient readers and felt embarrassed to read aloud in class at school. Moreover, she exhibited signs of disorganization and absent-mindedness, affecting her schoolwork and causing tardiness, with frequent instances of forgetting items at home. Despite her many creative talents, her self-confidence took a hit. Surprisingly, her teachers haven’t detected any learning difficulties, as she seemed to blend in seamlessly and didn’t exhibit behavioral problems.

During her sessions with the therapist at The Raviv Institute, my daughter formed a strong bond. Her reading skills improved, along with her overall ability to navigate daily life. Shortly after completing the program, my daughter began reading effortlessly and joyfully. She has now completed the fifth book in the Harry Potter series! The newfound ability to read has made a tremendous difference in her self-confidence, and she is now the ‘happy-go-lucky’ and highly imaginative girl she always was.

“Our 6-year-old son was facing significant challenges in school across all subjects, prompting our psychologist to recommend enrolling him in the Raviv program. Upon completion of the Raviv course, he not only advanced two reading levels but also exhibited substantial improvements in math and writing skills. We attribute these positive changes to Raviv’s focus on addressing the root causes of the problem rather than merely treating the symptoms.

Furthermore, our Raviv tutor, Jane, proved invaluable to us as parents. She helped us comprehend our son’s challenges and strengths, offered valuable advice, and guided us through challenging times.

“Before the Raviv Program, our son struggled with reading and writing, experiencing a severe lack of confidence in the classroom. Concentration for more than a few minutes was a challenge, and the stress associated with literacy-related tasks was palpable. He couldn’t comprehend why he faced more difficulties than his peers. After completing the method, his reading skills have become age-appropriate, concentration has markedly improved, and he now successfully completes work in class. His confidence has seen a significant boost in all areas of life.

We’ve observed improvements in his physical abilities as well. He can now coordinate a knife and fork, and his ball skills have improved—he even scored three tries in his recent rugby match!

Today, we have a happy son who is eager to excel at school, armed with techniques (not just coping strategies) to support him.

“I am still amazed at the transformative changes that the Raviv program has brought about for my daughter Nessa, who is 13 years old. Nessa attended a very academic prep school in South London but constantly struggled to keep up. She internalized a deep feeling of inadequacy and stupidity from consistently ranking lowest in her junior school class. The school never detected any problems and more or less asserted that Nessa was just slow. I always had the feeling that there was some issue, as Nessa seemed to receive very little
return from any effort she put into learning something new. Information didn’t seem to stick in her brain very well, and she had very poor recall. She also faced a problem with writing very slowly and producing untidy work with lots of crossed-out words. Nessa was particularly concerned about her slow handwriting and her ability to recall information as she
approached formal exams. She feared she would only be able to complete half or part of whatever exam papers she attempted.

It was primarily to address Nessa’s slow writing that I considered Raviv. Nessa was assessed by Raviv practitioner Dolsie Clarke, who immediately identified tracking and comprehension issues. This was the first time any of these problems had been identified. Nessa quickly built up a positive relationship with Dolsie, and from the first few sessions, she hasn’t looked back. She started to feel more confident, more in control, and generally more vibrant. Nessa’s exam results then improved dramatically, and she was moved up to the top set in French, Spanish, and English in school towards the end of her course.

As a very busy working single parent, I didn’t delve much into the theory of the Raviv program before Nessa started the course, as I was desperate to find her some help. I had an instinctive response to what I read about the method and instantly trusted and liked Dolsie, as did
Nessa. The method has continued to help Nessa. The breathing technique has even helped Nessa’s asthma, and she generally feels confident that she can cope with schoolwork and exams. I would absolutely recommend the method based on mine and my daughter’s experience.”

“We cannot thank you enough for the work you did with Pamela and the positive change it has brought about in her. She is now much more outgoing, chatty, and confident than she used to be, and she is comfortable around other people. Generally, she feels happier, is imaginative,
her school work is of a high standard, and she is happy to work independently.”
