My family met Lynette in what I like to think of as a “divine intervention”. It was as if someone up above knew I was at the end of my ability to cope, and sent me an angel. Lynette is truly is an angel on earth. For our family,my 13 year old sons explosive violent behaviors became pretty hard to deal with and even though therapist after therapist came and went, they never really offered help that seemed to make a difference. I felt desperate for a way to stay safe while helping my son and our family. It seemed hopeless and at the end of the day, all I could think of was what was to become of my beautiful boy’s life. Then Lynette arrived! Her loving, compassionate nature is what you see when you see Lynette. Silly and smiling,warm and inviting Lynette has a way of teaching and playing with my son that looks seamless and effortless. I was amazed at her ability to do this, as my son at the time would say no to me whenever I tried to play with him. Since Lynette’s week with us, my son is initiating play and requesting new activities rapidly every day. My son has calmed down considerably since we started play/neurofeedback therapy, and we have only just begun! Excited to see the long term results and excited knowing there IS hope! In a week and a half we have seen a huge difference: an increase in spontaneous language and a huge reduction in OCD behaviors. As well, he has reduced his overly seeking isms (rewinding the same visual over and over) and inappropriate fixation on masturbation. Lynette showed me me the tools that have changed our lives. Some of them are….giving my son more control, talking to him like anyone else, explaining and respecting his differences and in general helping me peel away the layers so I could see my son again. Sometimes when the lessons are hard, and the change that has to happen is the change within you as a parent… the temptation is to avoid the learning. However, Lynette delivers her teachings so delicately and without judgment, that you always feel embraced in a warm hug. Her recommendation for neurofeedback is the cherry on top. This is the part I love the best because it’s so easy! Not to mention how fun it is to watch my son help me put the electrodes on his head. His cooperativeness and mood change make me pretty sure he likes the way “brain computer” helps him feel. The fact that Lynette approaches her therapy for the whole family speaks volumes to how truly holistic and thoughtful her approach is. In all my years I have never encountered anyone this deeply knowledgeable in autism and brain science , while simultaneously compassionate, trustworthy and down to earth like Lynette Louse. Truly she is the Autism whisperer, if you have the pleasure of receiving help from Lynette….. consider yourself blessed.

I love you Lynette.
With deepest and sincere gratitude,
Jody, Gina and Xavier(my son even knocked Lynette’s tooth out and she laughed and made me feel better about it! how can you NOT love her?)

Lynette never ceases to amaze me. She is a dynamic and unique force in the field of autism. There’s just no one like her. She comes into your home and makes things better for everyone involved by pulling from a never-ending assortment of “magical” tools: family work, cognitive techniques, neurofeedback, an encyclopedic understanding of autism…Unlike so many practitioners in the field, she has the priceless understanding of a family’s situation from having lived the life herself. So, she knows when to let you have a time to grieve and when it’s time to help kick you into action. We can trust her because she’s one of us. And, her own success with her kids is a continual inspiration.

My daughter doubled her speech in the first year that Lynette began working with us. So much of life changed, too, as Lynette easily guided us through everything from potty training to the first time my child spontaneously told me “I love you!” I can’t thank Lynette enough.

Years ago, I came up with the mantra ‘What Would Lynette Do?’ to help me when I am stumped with a situation involving autism. Several other people I work with, and whom Lynette has trained, now use it, too. And, you know what? It works!

Meredith Altschuler, M.S.W. Autism parent; Teacher of a mixed class of neurotypical children and children with autism.

To Whom It May Concern:I am writing to state my enthusiastic support for Lynette Louise.

As a former assistant professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology, specializing in Anthropological Research, I have very high standards for any study or action involving human beings, and have always stressed that human rights, needs and well being must be put above any scientific goal. When my son was diagnosed with autism 2.5 years ago, I set the same high expectations towards services offered for treating his condition. It means that a specialist to whom I trust my child’s health and future needs to first of all respect my child, his family’s specific cultural background and values. Then s/he needs to prove that s/he knows what, how and why to do in order to help him. S/he also needs to have an idea of what kind of results s/he expects to bring, when they should happen, and also be able to explain and reorganize her/his approach if expected changes do not happen. Plus, as a mother, I also expect a person providing services for my son to care about him. During those 2.5 years of our dealing with my son’s autism we tried for him many therapies, treatments and healing modalities. Most of them proved useless, inefficient or very limited in effect, and almost all therapists and doctors we’ve seen lack the basic respect to the autistic person, often even in people who cared about our son. I guess it may be a challenge to respect a non-verbal, weird behaving, antisocial little person who seems to behave like a brat – no matter how much knowledge and understanding of autism a professional might have. Yet, Lynette Louise not only met every single expectation we place on her as our therapist, but also exceeded in lots of areas.

First of all, she is full of respect, understanding and patience with her little clients. It was my husband’s and mine first and strong impression after watching her working with autistic kids on the videos she posted on her website. The same ones we we saw while searching You Tube for more examples of her approach. We immediately knew that she would be the only person to whom we would trust our son completely. And we never regretted doing just that.

Lynette’s play therapy fully involved our son in interaction with her, and in effect brought results no other therapist was ever able to achieve. Within a couple of days our non-verbal son started uttering a few words – much to our delight. Her way of interacting with a child is amazing, fun, respectful and the most efficient I’ve seen (and I’ve researched many, if not most therapies available for autism). It is also very individualized, and simply makes sense. Any of my doubts and questions Lynette answered and keeps explaining to the depth that I find completely satisfying. And she is genuinely interested, involved and caring about our son’s progress. Lynette’s expertise and creativity about approaching problems related to autism often result in surprisingly simple, yet extremely effective solutions.

The Neurofeedback therapy Lynette Louise utilizes to help autistic kids is another incredibly effective tool in her hands. I have just completed basic neurofeedback training for health care professionals and now can even more clearly see Lynette’s great competence and mastering of that amazing technique to work on mental health issues. Combined with her knowledge and experience with autism, neurofeedback is a powerful resource for families dealing with autism. The biggest result we have seen for our son ever since we started neurofeedback therapy is that the achievements he makes tend to last, as opposite to our previous experience when he was quickly loosing his newly learned skills. At the same time learning seems to come easier for him now.

The third important part of Lynette’s work with autism is family therapy. It is often overlooked that child’s autism affects the whole family dynamic that needs to be discussed and addressed in order to make changes happen faster and easier for everyone involved. This very important part is stressed in Lynette’s approach. I myself was not very aware of that factor before, but now can tell that working on how we all see, think of and react to our daily challenges might have been the biggest gift Lynette gave our family.

It’s been a year since Lynette came to our house and we started our son’s therapy under her supervision. The recordings we made during her visit are still invaluable source of hope and inspiration in our work with our son, as is her book and her website. She is always available for consultations and for answering our questions by email. She keeps on learning about new ways to help families with autism and freely shares her wisdom. We feel truly blessed that we were able to become her clients.

I believe that the TV show Lynette is offering would be a great opportunity for a wide audience to learn about Lynette’s beautiful way of approaching autism, spreading good news that a lot can be done for autistic people. I believe it was CDC that in 2009 announced that autism now affects one in 91 kids in US. For each one of these kids there are parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, distant relatives, friends, neighbors, teachers, therapists, doctors and many other people who may be looking for new ways of helping their loved ones, clients and patients, and who would greatly benefit from Lynette’s show. There are even many more people all over the world in need of the same kind of compassionate guidance.

In my personal experience everyone I talk to about Lynette’s plans for her show gets very excited about it – not only people who personally knows my son, but also people who simply would like to know more about autism, and even professionals who want to enrich their ways of approaching autism. With “the epidemic of autism” being a major problem today, the show offered by Lynette could not only become a hit, but also contribute to solving the problem of autism itself.

For me, Lynette is one of the best role models for our troubled times, like The Dalai Lama or late Mother Theresa, and I believe that she can initiate the same profound changes in our global culture. The only difference is that Lynette usually works with individual families, not on a global scale. But if I had the power to do it, I would not hesitate to nominate Lynette Louise for The Nobel Peace Prize for popularizing respectful and loving relationships with disabled people, while at the same time teaching effective ways of transforming their lives for the better.

Summing up, Lynette is a great person, doing wonderful things for autistic kids and has an incredible gift of inspiring people and making a real difference in the lives of the families she touches. I think this is more than enough to get her on TV.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me with any question or concern about the above letter.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alicja B. Pasek-Smith, Ph.D.

RE : Lynette LouiseDear Sir/Madam:

It gives us great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Ms. Louise. We met Lynette over a year ago when she traveled from California to work with our son Joel who at the time carried a diagnosis of regressive autism. She introduced us to the concepts behind neurofeedback and how it enhanced cognitive performance in what was and is the most mysterious of illnesses.

What was really remarkable about Lynette was her ability to connect with our son- at the time he was non verbal and very reticent in dealing with strangers yet, within an hour of her arrival she had built a rapport with him and he permitted her to begin attaching the leads for the computer software to his head. This, in of itself was nothing short of miraculous.

As the days passed she briefed us on the details of the neurofeedback method, and succeeded in several sessions with Joel. She was always prompt, spontaneous and entertaining. There seemed no limit to her energy or ability to adapt. As the mother of several recovering autistic children she also has invaluable practical knowledge that really cannot be overstated. Ms. Louise is photogenic, innovative and articulate. There is no question that she can add detailed insight to any production concerning the recovery of autistic and other challenged children.

Talented, patient, funny, while remaining businesslike and goal directed, Lynette makes an excellent candidate for any production that involves capturing and eventually retaining and educating an audience. She has our highest recommendation.

Sincerely,

Paul S. Thesiger MD                 Tracy I. Freeman, M.D.

Hi LynetteJuly 23, 2010

Jake saw the ophthalmologist today and the Doctor was “blown away” with the return of Jake’s peripheral vision. The Doctor put him through all the eye tests again and it showed up on all the computer imaging scans. Jake told him it returned after only a couple of neurofeedback sessions . The ophthalmologist told him he knew of neurofeedback but he hadn’t seen someone have an experience after having a acute hemorrhagic stroke like Jake had and have the return of his peripheral vision…awesome huh…: ) are you smiling? After having the neurofeedback sessions with you two weeks ago his peripheral vision is completely back. I remember when you asked us what we wanted most all I said was “I want him to get his confidence back. He can’t stop crying.” You stopped that for him in one session. Also he is not just happier is also calm, the anxiety is better, the impulsiveness is almost gone and he is able to communicate better with his speech improvement plus his short term memory has greatly improved.

It is a miracle what has happened and you Lynette brought the wonderful miracle to our home with your compassionate insightful expertise in neurofeedback and the sessions of treatments given to him. He is truly healing faster after the treatments.

A simple thank you seems so inadequate ..We are so appreciative of the total family counseling given and grateful for the continuation of treatments we can now do at home under your guidance. Lynette you have helped to enrich our lives by putting back those broken pieces with neurofeedback. What a beautiful gift of love to receive . New hope for people who have suffered a stroke. If anyone would like to contact myself or Jake to talk about the neurofeedback experience in our life and how it has helped in Jake’s recovery after his stroke recently to his brain we would love to talk to them. They can contact us at our home phone # 620-723-3491

We will always hold you dear to our heart and we are so grateful you brought neurofeedback to our home and into our lives..

Admiringly and respectfully yours

If I only had one chance, one opportunity to help my daughter, (with what I know right now). I would absolutely, wholeheartedly include Lynette in that plan and pour all my resources into hiring her for a longer period of time.
During our 6 days with Lynette, never, ever, have I heard my daughter Mia speak so many singular words than I did during that week. From the word go Lynette was at hard at work weaving her magic.
Lynette lifted the lid on our thinking and gave us realistic tools & approaches that we can use in any given moment. Mia was so happy having Lynette here that you just knew but the way she speaks with her face that she was relieved to have someone here teaching us how to reach her.
I felt like I had hit the jackpot when I found Lynette, because, not only does she have the professional experience (most especially being trained in the Son-Rise Program Option Process method & Neurofeedback), but she also had the personal experience. Not only will her unique approach inspire you, but so will her story.
Lynette, thankyou for being so willing to leave your family and travel half way across the world to help us help our little girl Mia, we feel blessed beyond belief. I don’t think I would have found a better therapist had I searched the world over. You have a friend for life……Hayley, Hayden & Mia-Grace xox

I will forever be grateful to Lynette for her help during one of the most difficult periods in my life. I was suffering from emotional instability, loss of memory and the ability to process diverse and interrelated data. Tests indicated probable damage to the brain from car accident(s). After neurofeedback and emotional guidance I went from a state of hopelessness, depression, fear and anxiety to a more stable state of being able to affect own my emotional states and enjoy a larger richer life. To me Lynette has been a life saver, life enhancer, coach, inspiration, soft place to land, confidant and professional. Lynette knows what she is doing. She took calculated risks and treated me aggressively for quicker results. She is amazingly good at communicating how the brain works in a meaningful and motivating manner. Today, “Happinesss is a Choice” I love and appreciate her very much.

We just cannot express the debt we owe Lynette for the lives of both of our children. She saved our children – Justin 6 yrs and Sarah 4yrs – and our whole family. We just love her. Because of her teachings and her neurofeedback Justin went from exclusive and hyper to being the best performer in a dance class recital within two months. Months later he became close friends with his sister and they talk and play together for hours. Soon he will start school. His sister was regressing into autism and not speaking understandably just five months ago. Lynette said out loud what I was thinking but couldn’t say. Sarah needs to leave school and do a program! I knew Lynette was right. A week later we took her out of school, started her program and stopped her regression. It took almost no time to change the course of events. We are still working with them both but the results are already obvious. We love Lynette because of her our son is coming back to us and our daughter stopped leaving. I would shout her name from the rooftops. If any one has questions or just wants to talk my name is Tracy Wooldridge and my number is 918-272-2019.

To Mothers, sisters, daughters & friends of special needs people,This is more than just a testimonial for Lynette Louise it’s a huge “could never ever have done it without you” letter. Lynette came to us through Son-Rise. We ran our Son-Rise program with enthusiasm for 2 years and realized we really needed some direction since our precious daughter Marina was changing so quickly and we were just plain stuck. After one incredible day with our family Lynette had all of Marina’s Son-Rise team and us back on track. There are not any words that I could use with all of you today that would express the excitement and enthusiasm I feel when we can have Lynette with us or when there is a family calling to ask me about my experiences with her. If I could I would buy her a house right next door to me. There are many facets to Lynette’s expertise and that is what makes her special. My husband and Ibegan researching Neuro Feedback and began to question Lynette about it and to our surprise Lynette is a trained specialist in Neuro Feedback. We immediately hired her to come and do Neuro Feedback with Marina. I don’t believe there would be enough computer memory to write you exactly how powerful and how quickly we noted changes in Marina. Marina is 7 years old now and is Autistic. Prior to Lynette’s miraculous appearance into our lives Marina was for the most part very non-verbal and appeared to be very frustrated in trying to communicate with us. I mention this as a preface to what happened after just 2 or 3 Neuro Feedback sessions. Marina seemed to be unlocking the doors in her brain and finding connections to help her formulate thoughts emotions and SPEECH! She is just amazing. The brain is a wonderful malleable thing. We have learned and have observed that the brain can repair itself. The brain can find new paths and create new connections if we help it. Lynette is a UNIVERSE to us. Marina is speaking in 3 and now 4 word sentences. She knows how to WRITE! We just found that out a few days ago. I know and believe with ever fiber of my being that without the power of neuro feedback we would still be struggling with one and maybe two words sporadically. Neuro Feedback speeds things along. At least it has for us and for Marina. I could just go on and on and on. The combination of a Son-Rise program and Neuro Feedback is the most amazing thing that could have ever happed to our family. We use it with our entire family and I’d never ever look back. Life is moving quickly and since Lynette, Marina is moving more quickly than we are and we are all running to catch up. I can’t tell you, as a parent, how overwhelming and beautiful it is to see.

Thanks for reading and please feel free to contact us if you need to make sure we are really a “Lynette” family.
