| When we started the Fast ForWord program it was very clear that there were simple verbal commands she just couldn't master. She was not processing the language properly. Fast ForWord taught her how to differentiate between different phonemes and other speech patterns. Her improvement over six weeks was astronomical. Her reading and ability to understand verbal instructions has greatly improved and her confidence has been boosted. |
