Mention that wearing a special pair of socks might change a life, it’s easy to be skeptical. It was no different for Shannon when it came to her daughter Luci.
You see, Luci isn’t a typical child. From birth, she struggled to overcome a multitude of health problems. Bouts with pneumonia forced the family to move from New York to Florida. Testing showed signs of autism, visual learning disabilities, and severe food allergies. “She just always has something going on, a little challenge to overcome,” Shannon says.
When school started, Luci’s teachers and Shannon could immediately see the disconnect. “With her visual learning disability, she cannot process a room as quickly as you or I. And her dyslexia makes reading and math a challenge,” Shannon explains. For kids like Luci, medications and therapies have limited success when an accurate diagnosis can’t be made.
Although she tested on the scale for autism, Luci is outgoing with no aversion to physical interaction or eye contact. In addition, Luci tested near 0 on an IQ test, but her obvious intelligence speaks counter to these results. Luci struggles with motor skills issues and requires help getting dressed in the morning. She also has frequent emotional meltdowns and tantrums.
The search for a solution through modern medicine appeared fruitless. “Whenever she would start a medication you’d see a little change and get excited, but over the course of a few weeks or a month, you’d see it wasn’t really working. They might help in one area then cause a problem in another,” Shannon says. “When you’re in a situation like this, you always want things to be easier for her.” Little did Shannon know what Voxx would be able to do.
A friend had sent Shannon a pair of Voxx socks for her older daughter, Olivia, a varsity cheerleader. “I put them on Olivia and did a strength test. Without the socks she fell over, but with them on she was like a bull.” But it wasn’t the strength or flexibility for her eldest daughter that got Shannon excited. The research clearly shows that Voxx improves balance and strength, but after reading and watching countless testimonials of Voxx users, Shannon wondered what it might do for Luci.
The difference while wearing the Voxx technology was immediate. Tasks seemingly impossible for Luci suddenly appeared easy. Shannon explained, “Luci really couldn’t catch a ball because of the way her eyes focus, but we went to the gym and I tossed her a medicine ball and she caught it. We did this about 15 times and we were both blown away.” At home, Shannon tested Luci’s writing. Without the socks, her lines were faint and some of her letters appeared skewed. While wearing the socks, her pencil line was firm and clear, and her letters were all the right way.
Later that night, Luci wore the socks to bed. “In the morning I went in to help her get dressed like normal, and she was already showered and fully dressed,” Shannon explains. “I asked if she slept at all and she said ‘no, something happened. I got so smart.’”
During the night, Luci had completed 50 pages of math problems, her most difficult subject. After agreeing with teachers that Luci was exempt from homework because of her difficulty with it, Luci now turned in a week’s worth of assignments at once. “She came to me and said that for so long she had thought this was so hard and now things were suddenly making sense and she was making connections she had never made,” said Shannon. Along with her academic achievements and improved motor skills, Luci practically stopped having emotional meltdowns. What used to be an almost daily occurrence has tapered to almost nothing. Luci now wears the socks day and night.
Shannon beams as she speaks. “We have since taken Luci off of all ADD medication. She took a math assessment at school and her teacher said she passed in the high yellow. So, it’s just been a pretty amazing thing.” But Luci’s journey with Voxx didn’t end there. Stan Esecson, V.P. with Voxx heard Luci’s story. “I instantly called Shannon and invited them to The Voxx Orlando Power Training conference in Orlando to share her story. There’s wasn’t a dry eye in the audience, it was so inspiring”
At the conference, Shannon and Luci met Dr. Mark DeBrincat who mapped Luci’s brain as part of his ongoing research into neurofeedback therapy and the Voxx technology. On the scans without the Voxx socks, parts of Luci’s brain were fluxing between calm and chaos. “There’s just no right and left brain connecting,” explains Dr. DeBrincat “But wearing the socks, all of these areas for her were coming back online. It’s not just a theory. It’s not a feeling. This is real life science, it’s happening instantly and we have the maps to back it up.”
When Shannon and Luci examined the scans, they saw areas of Luci’s brain lighting up with new activity. Connections that had never been made were suddenly active. The results Luci had experienced from the Voxx technology were clearly displayed in living color. “For me, it’s like a miracle. I mean, how could a pair of socks change your make up?” says Shannon later. “Your life,” Luci interjects from the background.
Shannon speaks with earnest as we close our conversation. “These aren’t just stories. This is our life. If our days can be made more enjoyable, and more enjoyable for Luci, that’s what I’m looking for. I’m not looking to solve the world’s problems in a day. I’m just looking to get through a day. With the Voxx socks those days have been much easier. I fully support the mission of this company.” For additional information about Voxx go to www.SeeOurSocksInAction.com or contact Stan at 949.547.1683.
