Fast ForWord® is an Internet and CD-ROM based training program for
individuals with learning and reading problems. The product
of over 25 years of research in neuroscience and neurophysiology,
the program represents a revolutionary approach to language
problems. In an intensive series of adaptive, interactive
exercises using acoustically processed speech and speech sounds,
the patented Fast ForWord technology stimulates rapid language
skill development as clients learn to distinguish the various
components of speech. On average, children with language
problems make 1.5 to 2 years of language gains after completion of
the 4 to 8 week program.
