    Improving Outcomes for Studentswith Learning Differences

    Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant products meet the mandates of IDEA by dramatically improving learning

    outcomes for students so that they can fully participate in their education, careers and lives.

    Scientific Learnings products are scientifically proven and supported by one of the largest databases of student

    results in education. Independent studies include:

    A 2003 peer-reviewed evaluation published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing

    changes in brain function in learning-impaired children after using Fast ForWord Language

    A 2007 peer-reviewed evaluation published in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience showing changes in

    brain function in learning-impaired children after using Fast ForWord Language

    A 2010 peer-reviewed evaluation published in Behavioral and Brain Function showing changes in brain

    function in children with autism spectrum disorders after using Fast ForWord products

    Accountability for students with learning differences.

    Clear student reporting provides diagnostic and prescriptive information supporting your students to meet the goals

    of their individualized education plans (IEP).

    Reducing overidentification or misidentification.

    Since Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant enable students to experience results in weeks, not years, the productsprovide intensive intervention that can help prevent the misidentification of nondisabled children. Students can use

    the products before their referral evaluation, with results reports enhancing the depth and breadth of the evaluation

    and assisting in proper identification.

    Innovative approaches to parental involvement.

    Scientific Learnings products are a unique opportunity for parents to become

    integrally involved in their childrens education by reviewing student

    progress reports and supporting home use of the products.

    Supporting special education teachers.

    Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant provide alerts that recommend

    interventions and classroom action based on real-time student

    results.
