Why We're Different ...

... from tutoring centers

Tutors and tutoring centers provide added instruction. This gives the child more of what is not working at school. By contrast, our approach is to change the learning dynamic by changing the learner, brain change. This is a radically different approach. In addition:

1. We are much more cost effective. After 3-4 months with us your child has the potential to be learning at a more normal rate with potential to get to grade level a few months thereafter. This compares with a 12-15 months at most tutoring centers, with the possibility of requiring more tutoring later.
2. We can be life-changing. By empowering your child to learn normally we can boost confidence which pays dividends in many ways. Homework goes more easily, school is more fun, grades are higher and reading for pleasure is a realistic goal.
3. We are a one-time shot. Once the brain learns new skills they endure, since they are used every day. Brain rewiring sticks. Tutoring centers offer no such outcomes. While your your child may catch up, because the underlying learning glitch is left untouched, chances are there will be more tutoring a year or two down the road.

Children come to us mainly with reading or language-based learning issues. In this way we are specialized. We are also focused almost entirely on children with dyslexia or auditory processing disorders (CAPD) and so we are not able to help every child. This also unlike tutoring centers who try to have a program for every child.

... from clinicians who offer Fast ForWord

Fast ForWord is likely available from a clinician near you, either a speech pathologist or a neurologist. We are a much different option however. We are of the country's leading providers of this exciting software because that is all we do. Unlike clinicians who do detailed assessment and use a variety of therapies, we are all about Fast ForWord, all the time. Our technology is leading edge, our protocol management is more sophisticated than most, and our motivational programs for the children are second to none.
