Fast ForWord and the Willie Brown Story

I've been a Fast ForWord provider since 1997- the year it was released. I have been using the product since that time and have found it a very powerful tool for helping students improve auditory processing skills as well as improve reading and literacy skills. You can learn more about Fast ForWord here.

The video above tells the story of Willie Brown, a high school student, whose life was set on a different trajectory through his participation in the Fast ForWord program. Jacky Egli, the principal of Bridges Academy in Winter Springs, Florida, urged Willie to participate in the Fast ForWord program and the video clip above explains what happened.

The video clip below explains how Fast ForWord works at a neurological level.

Did I say politicians and insurance companies?
