Is your child on a speech therapy or learning support waiting list ?
While you’re waiting, you can start them on the road to improvement with the
Fast ForWord online program.
Fast ForWord simultaneously and intensively addresses gaps in language, reading, and cognitive skills so children can get the most out of their therapy sessions.
Do Fast ForWord online at home for 6 weeks.
Then when they see the Speech Pathologist or other learning support professional, their brain will be primed for learning and their therapy will be more productive.
Just as a body runs better and quicker when fit, brains learn better after consistent use of the scientifically designed exercises.
Your children do 7 exercises each day - just 7 minutes per exercise, 5 days a week. This strengthens the brain the same way a fit athlete builds muscle memory, through repetition.
Each day your children are prompted to answer hundreds of increasingly more difficult exercises in quick succession, using scientifically-based neuroscience principles.
Exercises adapt to students' performance, providing precise and efficient training, personalised for their individual needs.
After a few weeks, most parents report their children are reading better, understand more, are more focused, complete homework more easily, or have improved in several of these areas.
Fast ForWord is a research-based software for students from primary to high school. It can make a fast and permanent change to your children's ability to learn.

Mama Woz
“Fast ForWord does what no other intervention can do: it starts with cognitive skills like memory, attention and processing speed and works from the bottom up, using the principles of neuroplasticity. Best of all, the program can be done in the comfort of my own home. Having the home based options sure beats sitting in traffic, racing between therapy appointments and shoving dinner down from the back seat.”
Melissa
"Hugh's school psychologist recommended Melissa try Fast ForWord. After using the program for 6 months Hugh's reading has improved from below his age level to over a year above, he is better organised and his listening skills have improved. The vice principal said to Melissa, "God, hasn't Hugh grown up over the school holidays?"
Deb
"I highly recommend the Fast ForWord program to anyone who has a child with learning difficulties as it’s the only thing that got my son through primary school and up to a level where he could enter and succeed in high school. It’s a brilliant program and should be available in all schools for students to undertake as part of their curriculum."
