We also had two students in the district that we actually took out of Special Education because they did Fast ForWord. The intervention made a big difference for our special needs kids.”

Targeting the Root Cause

Endorsed by the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE), the Fast ForWord language and reading intervention was designed by leading cognitive neuroscientists to target the root causes of learning and reading difficulty in the brain. These cognitive skills of memory, attention, processing, and sequencing that reading proficiency requires are the same cognitive capacities that learners struggle with in their specific learning disability and/or ADD/ADHD. By addressing the underlying causes of learning disabilities, the Fast ForWord product allows your students to flourish as learners and readers, and these improvements stay with them for life.
