Fast ForWord® Family Of Programs (by SciLearn)

The Fast ForWord® family of programs is a neuroscience-based intervention designed to strengthen the foundational language, auditory processing, and cognitive skills students need for academic success. Built on decades of brain research, Fast ForWord® uses adaptive, computer-based exercises that target the root causes of learning challenges—not just the symptoms.

Fast ForWord® is especially powerful for students who struggle with:

  • Auditory processing disorder (APD)

  • Listening comprehension difficulties

  • Language delays

  • Dyslexia and reading challenges

  • Poor working memory

  • Slow processing speed

  • Difficulty focusing or sustaining attention

  • Weak sequencing or organization skills

The program strengthens key cognitive and linguistic abilities, including:

  • Auditory processing and discrimination

  • Memory (working, short-term, and auditory)

  • Attention and sustained focus

  • Sequencing and organization

  • Processing speed

  • Listening comprehension

  • Phonological and language skills

Fast ForWord® is unique because it helps the brain build faster, more efficient neural pathways, improving how children process and understand language. When auditory processing becomes more efficient, academic skills often follow—especially reading, spelling, following directions, and classroom listening. Many families report improvements not only in schoolwork, but also in social communication and overall confidence.

Neuroscience research consistently shows that unresolved language and auditory processing difficulties can impact learning, behavior, executive functioning, and academic achievement. Fast ForWord® directly targets these underlying skills, helping students progress more quickly and more independently.

At KidSpeak Therapy, we integrate Fast ForWord® into personalized treatment plans for elementary, middle, and high school students. We proudly serve families in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Rockville, and the greater DMV area, as well as telepractice clients in Florida and California.
