ADD & ADHD

 

Did you know that kids spend 45% of a typical school day listening, and 85% of their knowledge should be gained through listening?

 

If you feel like you're constantly repeating information for your child (they aren't attending), if your child can be described as "spacy" or unfocused, if your child has trouble sitting still in school - these are just a few of the common descriptors we hear from parents of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  Your child may be at-risk of falling behind in school. Let’s work to turn that risk around!

 

Many children who have trouble with focus and attention don't process information efficiently, which is an impediment to accurate listening and reading. Fast ForWord’s reading intervention program builds processing skills, which in turn improves attention.

 

After using Fast ForWord, parents report their children can:

 

• Pay attention longer. Children can complete homework with less help.

• Follow multi-step directions. Can follow along if you ask them, "Pick up your shoes, grab your jacket, and meet me in the car."

• Read better and understand more. This helps your child not only in reading, but can give your child the tools to succeed in all subjects at school.
