“In many cases,
AIT should be the first
therapy approach used. AIT
appears to “set the stage” for so much of the progress which can
be made. Following
AIT, teachers and speech-language pathologist may see greater
progress in all areas than would have been possible without AIT.”

Dancing in the Rain, edited by Annabel Stehli
“No wild,
hysterical outbursts, no headbanging. At home he listens better,
complies more readily, falls asleep faster and stays asleep longer. He copes better with uncomfortable situations, converses about
a subject, staying on the subject rather than following flights
of fancy. He writes
words as he hears them rather than me dictate them.
He says I love... more, before he said I hate... a lot.
The word ‘boring’ does not come up as often.”
Mother of 8 year old son with ADHD
“More
sociable, increased eye contact, calmer, less fidgety, better
topic maintenance, handwriting and printing improved, more willing
to try new activities requiring concentration and language skills,
words on projects of own choice during free time, talks about
future (dating, marriage, college, death), asks about abstract
concepts. DOES
NOT NEED RITALIN
for school or other situations (has had none since therapy).
Mother of a 9 year old son with ADD
“My
son does not wear
shoes on the wrong feet anymore.
He does not reverse numbers any more.
Now I know what my son can do.
Fast ForWord has made a
huge change in my thinking and perception.”
Mother of a 7 year old son with Autism
I
have a client who has been working with our state Dyslexic Assoc.for
two years trying to teach him to recognize the letters in his
name. Nothing has seemed to work. The child's self-esteem
was rock bottom. We started Fast ForWord in his home and
within 4 weeks he was writing his name and now (at completion
at 7 weeks) he has just finished reading his fifth book.
His favorite author is Dr. Seuss because he "loves the way
the books play with rhyme". Fast ForWord has worked
for this child and his two older sisters and one brother will
begin Fast ForWord soon. I believe most dyslexic individuals
have severe auditory processing disorders which Fast ForWord corrects.
