Dyslexia and
Fast ForWord Language
Dyslexics have weaknesses in phonological processing. Many reading intervention programs today help learners compensate for these difficulties by working around the issues.
​
Fast ForWord Language takes a top-down approach — it aims to “rewire” the brain for reading, targeting the issue directly, and starting with the brain’s most foundational abilities.
Functional MRI data from Stanford University shows how Fast ForWord helps dyslexics improve a range of language, cognitive, and reading skills.
Dyslexia and Interactive Metronome
Timing in the brain, or Neurotiming, is critical to reading, speech, language, motor and cognitive function. Neurotiming controls our attention, working memory and processing speed. All three of these mechanisms are critical for reading and language development. Much of our lives revolve around timing. Timing that is deficient reveals itself as a disorder. Dyslexia is a disorder affected by poor neurotiming.
​
Interactive Metronome is the only training program that improves timing in the brain in an organized, systematic, flexible and engaging format. Research shows that combining whole body movements with cognitive tasks leads to overall better outcomes. Interactive Metronome is a patented and unique training tool that challenges thinking and movement simultaneously, providing real-time millisecond feedback to help synchronize the body’s “internal clock.”
A study from Baylor University reveals that students who received just 15 minutes of IM training,four days a week in addition to language and reading intervention,demonstrated significant improvement in reading rate, fluency and comprehension over students who just received language and reading instruction.
