The Fast ForWord® family of products develops the critical thinking, listening, and reading skills that are necessary for success in the classroom and in everyday life.

Fast ForWord® programs are computer-based interventions that use acoustically modified speech to help participants better process sound, words, and language. Based on over 30 years of brain, reading, and language research, Scientific Learning's interactive, adaptive products use patented technology to target the language and reading skills widely recognized as the keys to all learning. Fast ForWord® programs are scientifically proven to attack underlying neuroprocessing impairments. These programs have proven effective in improving skills such as:

Working Memory
Auditory Processing
Temporal Processing
Phonological Awareness
Listening Comprehension
Grammar
Decoding
Spelling
Reading Comprehension

Pediatric Speech & Language Specialists has been providing the Fast ForWord intervention programs for over 12 years through our location in Scottsdale, Arizona. We were recognized as the "Top Provider" of 2008 from Scientific Learning Corporation.

PSLS offers our families two options for Fast ForWord interventions: our "onsite" program, where children come in to our computer lab 5 times weekly to train under the supervision of our experienced lab coach, or our "offsite" program, where children can train at home, or on a laptop computer if traveling. Either option features the full support of our office including weekly email reports, unlimited phone support, and additional help in person if needed.

If you believe that your child would benefit from this program, please call our office at 480-991-6560 for more information, and to schedule a free demonstration.
