Study 1

Arizona School District
Learning Technics’ Physio-Neuro therapy training was first used by schools in 1989. The first school to use the program was in Arizona. The school was looking for a program that did more than help a child “get better.” They wanted a program that helped a failing student “get better permanently.”

The Learning Technics’ Home Study program was modified for use in public schools. Physio-Neuro therapy training was taught to failing students 25 minutes a day four days a week. The 61 students in the study came from the bottom (in terms of test scores) 3% of students in the school district. After Physio-Neuro therapy, a sample of the bottom 3% are now the source of 22% of all the honor students in the district.

All students have continued to improve in the years after completing Physio-Neuro therapy. Less than 4% have required any additional remedial help. The long term results confirmed that the ability to learn can be permanently changed. In most cases the changes are dramatic.

After eleven years the program's administrator told Learning Technics that this program had reduced the size of the resource program in their school. Many of the school's failing students had become successful through the use of Physio-Neuro Therapy, and continued to improve throughout later school years without additional help. If not for new and transfer students the Resource program would be even smaller. Almost all the students who were once failing and went through the program have been successful in school, continued to improve and have never needed help again.

The 61 students in the study represented the bottom 3% of students in the school district (in terms of test scores). After Physio-Neuro therapy, a sample of the same 3% became the source of 17-22% of the high school honor students in the district. The average students went from failing to a permanent place in the upper one-third of the class.
