We regularly hear from our customers that Scientific Learning employees are tremendously passionate and committed. For many employees, that passion comes from having family members who have experienced dramatic improvements after using our products. We thought it might be nice to share some of those stories with you, and today’s post is the first in a series aimed at doing just that.

Jolene’s Story:

“Hi. I’m Jolene. I’ve been a Progress Monitor with the company about two years. When I first heard about Fast ForWord it was actually when I looked at a job posting and I looked into the company a little bit.

It was an interesting timeframe. I kind of looked at it when I got the job as a Godsend, because I have two twin boys myself and a little girl and they were behind in their reading tremendously so that we had ended up having to hold them back for third grade and they had to repeat.

I took the software home and I had them go through Fast ForWord Language v2 first. And I did all the facilitating and the monitoring just as I was doing with the teachers so it worked out very well. I saw tremendous change.

The boys are at reading level now; they were a year-and–a-half behind. So, it brings tears to my eyes to think that I was very fortunate to get this job so that I can not only make a difference with everyone else, but see success in my own family.

And continued success because I’m going to be using it with my little girl, too. Thank you for letting me share. “
