Scientific Learning
Fast ForWord’s success in the classroom is a direct result of extensive and ongoing commitment to high-quality, scientific research. Nothing in our learning software is based on trial and error, or on theories about what we believe will work to improve learning, but on what has been systematically proven to work. At Scientific Learning, we understand the value of looking at multiple levels of research in developing our products. Our approach includes an ongoing commitment to translational research: we incorporate all of the current, valid, and relevant models of scientific investigation—foundational research, efficacy trials, effectiveness studies, and peer-review or committee analysis—and translate the results into practical applications that deliver scientific value in the real world.
Scientific Learning’s research group communicates on a weekly basis with scientists in University laboratories to evaluate and re-evaluate which aspects of the current foundational research might be leveraged to benefit struggling readers. Only when a product is proven through converging methods—i.e., comparing study results across a spectrum of complementary methodologies, each with its inherent strengths and weaknesses—can reliable product claims be made and supported. Scientific Learning is firmly committed to basing the Fast ForWord products only on such thorough and rigorous testing, and we are peerless in this regard. Fast ForWord is by far the most researched educational software on the market today.For Scientifically based Research see: http://www.scilearn.com/results/main=results
