-Successfully helped a particular boy how to learn to read by my own idea of operant-conditioning (shaping one behavior with a loved activity. This child's special interests were trains, cats, and Legos). Impressively, the child's language skills built this way by my method, and he graduated the program, reading at a higher level than the age of 8. He is currently a successful automotive technician.
