Testimonial

Our children, an 8 ½ year-old son and 7 ½ year-old daughter, completed forty treatments of hard chamber hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our son started to show improvements in attention and expressive language after the first ten days of treatment. He started to make comparisons between things and asking questions in a way he had not done before the treatments. He began to speak using more complete sentences and not skipping articles like “a,” “the,” and “an.” He also started to use words he had not used before such as “well,” “rather,” and “yet.” For example, he said, “Daddy, I’d rather ride my bike than my scooter.” That was an awesome statement for him! His comments increased and he started to ask questions like, “Is it time to go yet?” As the treatments progressed, we continued to see more social awareness, an improved sense of humor, better language skills, more appropriate play, and an overall improvement. His improvements continued throughout the course of treatments. It has been exciting to see. As for our daughter, most of her improvements appeared after the completion of the forty treatments. We initially noticed she slept better through the night and wanted to do everything for herself such as dressing and brushing her teeth. We also started to see improvements in her receptive and expressive language. She seemed to better understand what was said and followed directions. She used longer sentences such as “Daddy, can I go outside?” and “Mommy, where is the pink cup?” That was a great “where” question for her! Prior to the treatments, we heard things like “I want cup,” or on a good day, “Can I have pink cup?” She also started to imitate her brother and others more. Physically, we noticed improvement in her balance, strength, and gross/fine motor skills. One year later, the improvements in both our children have been maintained and they continue to build with the support of behavioral, speech, occupational, and biomedical therapies.
