Comments from b-Calm Trials
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been conducting a number of trials with b-Calm by different users and settings. This has included both home and school and with a variety of ages. We’ve been THRILLED with the feedback so far, and I thought it would be a good time to share some comments we’ve received.
from http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teachingjeremiah (a great blog on ASD)
“He seemed to do better with these tracks playing in the background. One afternoon, when we weren’t doing school, he was having a meltdown on the living room floor because he couldn’t be patient about going somewhere. I hit the play button on the CD player and just walked away. Ignoring Jerry’s meltdowns does not make them go away, as any Aspie parent can confess. Within minutes though, he calmed and stopped ranting and just layed on the floor in front of the CD player listening. Then he got up after a few minutes and went in his room to play with something else. The meltdown was over! I loved that. Needless to say, I have a CD for the van now too and have even downloaded the tracks onto Jerry’s Mp3 player for travel.”

He loves using it when he is asked to write anything. While he is using it, his writing is actually legible, has meaning to it, and flows” – Special Education Teacher
These are just the tip of the iceberg! We’ll keep you posted as the R&D work continues toward the full launch of b-Calm. In the meantime, if you’d like to participate in our trial please send us an email!
