My 2 sons both have been diagnosed with autistic spectrum conditions and both have been following Hemispheres programmes, individually tailored to address their different needs. Their Hemispheres programmes have been very helpful for my boys, not only supporting the development of their fine motor skills but also providing the boys with a range of exercises which help them manage their anxieties. I am certain that following the Hemispheres programme has helped enable my older son’s successful transition from a resource provision (a unit in a mainstream school) to full-time mainstream education: thanks to the Hemispheres programme, my older son can now cope with the day to day anxieties presented to him in a full-time mainstream school environment, and is adamant that he prefers the mainstream to his old specialist school environment! Although my sons still have difficulties in a number of areas, the Hemispheres programme is helping them to prepare for independent life in the ‘real world’, building their resilience and enabling them to be more independent, and I’d therefore recommend Hemispheres to all parents whose children also have autistic spectrum conditions.
