Infinite Potential Program

The Infinite Potential Program and CIT^® have demonstrated an extremely high success rate. This is due in part to our methods and our team, but also to our comprehensive screening process. We only accept the clients that we can help. In addition, our clients and their families have to be extremely motivated to participate in the program to the fullest extent.

"I am very familiar with his [Dr. Pedro's] current research work and I strongly believe that support to this project is essential and will contribute significantly to the field and to the school success of so many students who have been left far behind.

CIT is a unique neurological treatment approach pioneered by the Principal Investigator [Dr. Pedro] of this project. The results of his research at the Kuss School in Fall River are very impressive because they point to the positive impact of this intervention in the lives of students who have experienced continuous school failure. In addition, the CIT approach adds great significance to the effective treatment of students with ADHD, Learning and Reading Disabilities, because it helps students overcome the main reasons why they don't learn. In my professional opinion - Cortical Integrative Therapy (CIT) holds tremendous promise to the learning success of students with a history of academic failure across American Schools..."

"I, as the coordinator of this program [the pilot project at Kuss Middle School], believe in its value not just for the students and families, but for the community. I have witnessed tremendous interaction between the parents involved in this program as they come to realize that their problems were not unique. That they were not the only parents living with children experiencing difficulty in academic and social situations. I have witnessed children come alive through their participation in this program. Children who believed something was wrong with them, that they were different from their peers, come to realize that they can get through a class, an hour, or even a whole day without getting into trouble in school. These children come to experience the joy of learning, of social interactions, [of] positive attention from peers as well as adults.

I believe that the benefits of this program reach further than each student and their family. The impact that this program will have, through a ripple effect, will benefit the community as a whole. These children are the future of Fall River."

"Kyle had been on five different medications and we were just about out of ideas on where to turn. The medication was supposed to help him focus more, but sometimes it only seemed to make him more irritable. When my husband and I talked with Dr. Pedro, he explained about the brain and its functions related to ADHD, functions that we were not even aware of. He also understood our fears.

Since doing this program, Kyle has improved greatly. His grades are better. He is more focused. His tics are gone (facial twitches and twitching his shoulders). His coordination, especially on his left side, has improved enormously, and he is no longer irritable like he was on the medication.

We thank God for Dr. Pedro. Today, Kyle is doing wonderful. He is off all medication. Thank you, Dr. Pedro, from the bottom of our heart!"

"Alex was first diagnosed with ADHD when he was in second grade. Being reluctant to medicate him at such a young age, we decided to pursue alternative treatments. Between second and fourth grade, we exhausted every alternative[but] none of these alternatives rendered any significant improvement. Inevitably, at the start of fourth grade, we succumbed to the pressure of the school system and resorted to the use of prescription medication. When we heard of the Infinite Potential Program, we were cautiously optimistic.

It has now been over three months since Alex stopped taking his daily medicine. We have seen a remarkable change in Alex's overall behavior. Alex is a much more compliant child -- not to mention happier -- with a great attitude (most of the time). This may sound trivial, but Alex now walks instead of runs. He actually responds the first time we call him. And, best of all, he does what he is asked when he is asked.

He had a wonderful summer. Among his many accomplishments were reading a plethora of novels and getting his certificate in sailing.

I cannot begin to express the impact it [Infinite Potential Program] has had not only on Alex, but on all of us who deal with him regularly. The benefits of this program have exceeded all our expectations."

"Our daughter Lexie was diagnosed with ADD when she was in third grade. For two years it was a constant battle to get her to do her homework without one of us by her side to keep her on task at all times. It was very frustrating and exhausting for all of us. We took Lexie to several doctors to see what we could do without medication. To our dismay, it was determined that she would need medication to help with this problem.

In January 2005, I had taken her off medication by now and was just hoping for the best. Soon thereafter, I received a call from a friend to tell me about the Infinite Potential Program. I have to say that we jumped at the chance to try it. After the first couple of weeks, we could see a little improvement. She was more self-assured and was doing her homework without having us sit with her. Her teacher said that she now takes part in class discussions and is no longer afraid to answer questions. Lexie even took over her Social Studies class and taught the lesson by herself. Her teacher was very impressed especially because my daughter would never talk in class, never mind stand in front of the class and teach a lesson like she did.

Your program was a godsend for our daughter. She is now able to do her work in school with confidence. She does her homework without us and when we ask if she needs help she usually says no. Lexie can concentrate so much better and longer than she ever could before.

My husband and I can't thank you enough for giving us back our daughter. We truly feel that you saved our daughter from struggling her whole life in school and out of school. I would strongly recommend your program to anyone who has a special needs child or a child with ADD/ADHD."

"My son was diagnosed with ADD during the 1999-2000 school year. In 2002, after exhausting multiple classroom approaches and learning techniques, my husband and I regretfully opted for medication. This was truly a big mistake. We began to see the light go out of son's eyes. We watched him lose his desire and motivation to partake in activities that he normally enjoyed. He became moody and uncooperative. He was loosing his self-esteem and his desire to be productive. A gifted and exceptional athlete, Nick began loosing his competitive edge and desire to even play the game. He was to the point of becoming withdrawn. Every week consisted of battles to complete his homework. His grades were poor and showing little or no improvement. As a mother, I saw his spirit being squelched. As an educator, I know that the approach being used was not effective. In my heart, I knew that the problem was the drug Concerta. In December of 2004, I decided to remove Nick from the drug in search of another alternative.

A friend and colleague pointed me in the direction of Dr. Victor Pedro. My son began his 12-week program in February 2005. He recently finished the program with remarkable success. He pulled all three failing grades to passing status. One he managed to pull from "F" to "B." All work was completed and handed in before grades closed. This is an amazing accomplishment. His self-esteem has soared. His mood has changed. He has become more cooperative. The light shines in his eyes. He is asking to go back and continue in the program to further improve academically. He believes in this program. This program has changed his life."
