“Allison Boggess took my daughter from completely lost in school to reading. As a first grader, my daughter begged not to go to school each day because it was too hard. My daughter's confidence improved in a matter of weeks and my daughter began reading as well. The program is fun and not stressful like a typical classroom. At the end of our program, we received lots of information on how to continue to help my daughter at home. I know that any time I have a question, help is a phone call away.”

“Just a quick note to say thank you! Our school year is going so much smoother than ever before. I am in awe of all you accomplished with my son in one week! Words cannot express the gratitude for the changes you have helped to bring about in our family.”

“I was on various ADHD medications for almost my entire school career. At age 15, the side effects outweighed the benefits. My parents and I decided that enough was enough, and I stopped taking my medication. However, my school struggles and behavior struggles still continued. With self-discipline and dedication to master the tools Allison shared with me, my school work became easier to comprehend and my behavior was much easier to manage.”

“As principal of Teays Valley Christian School, I have been extremely impressed with Mrs. Allison Boggess. Her program for struggling students is very effective, but it is more than a program. She develops relationships with her students that develops skills, character, confidence, and self esteem. Her skills, pedagogical approach, and relationality is truly transformative in the lives of the families she serves.”

“I'm so thankful we found Alison with Mid South Dyslexia. My daughter had an excellent week with her. Her handwriting and reading improved greatly and she learned tools to help her succeed. She learned how her brain works and gained much confidence. We look forward to the math program!”

“Our week with Allison was so wonderful! My daughter came away with new skills, a new understanding of the way her brain works, and CONFIDENCE!! Allison spends time at the end of the week-long session teaching the parents how to continue at home and this has been the key to continued growth. Thank you, Allison!”

“Life changing is an understatement!! After trying several tutors, including an Orton-Gillingham specialist, my daughter was failing 3rd grade. Allison's approach was exactly what she needed. We saw two grade levels of growth after her week of training and she scored at or above grade level in every area of reading on her end of year test. My daughter told me reading is now her favorite subject and if your child struggles with reading, you understand the significance of this. I highly recommend Allison and would pay for the program several times over.”

“I cannot recommend Mid-South Dyslexia Center enough! If you are reading this and skeptical, it's ok! I was skeptical too! My daughter was making it in a cottage homeschool and making good grades, but it was all a mask. Schoolwork was hard, and we both were crying. She developed headaches, stomach aches with throwing up, and was not sleeping at night. I reached out to Allison and felt I had to do something for Emmi. I went to the assessment and was immediately blown away. We did the program, and I immediately saw results. The tools she was teaching her were working! Her first week back at school, she finished her comprehension test before anyone and made a 100 on her own. She managed all A's that year and still is making all A's much easier than ever before. A year later we did the Dyscalculia program, and again she finished her math first and made a 100! Allison is amazing, and I would pay this over and over for the lifelong success and confidence. Don't hesitate—just do it!”

“We have done the reading and math programs with Allison. Both have been so helpful for our 9 year old who has dyslexia and ADHD. She now has many tools to utilize when completing school work so that it is less stressful for her, her parents, and teachers. Her confidence has also improved with the development of these skills. Well worth the investment of time and money! The lifelong gains are priceless. Allison also has a natural rapport with children that makes the week seem more like fun and less like work!”

“My daughter completed the program before her sixth grade year. She loved the program and the change has been tremendous. Before the program, my daughter struggled for years with reading and comprehension. Homework was a stressful event on a daily basis. School and assignments were becoming more and more of a struggle. After taking the program, my daughter now loves school. Her performance has increased significantly and homework is no longer stressful. This program changed our daughter's life! We could not be more grateful to Allison!”
— Keith Parker

“My daughter completed the program in October. She loved it and has shown a lot of improvement in her school work, independent reading, and confidence. She says all the time how much the program has helped her. An added bonus has been that we no longer have any homework hassles. She actually enjoys homework and studying!!! I could go on and on about how happy we were with the program. We will be forever grateful.”

“I have known Allison Boggess for several years and have witnessed first hand the difference this program has made in the lives of several children. I would highly recommend this program and Allison specifically as a great facilitator.”
