Slow Processing Speed:

• FastForWord. In clinical experience at Parkaire Consultants using pre-post standardized testing,  most students who comply with the protocol show an improvement of one standard deviation in processing speed.  Unfortunately, despite our positive experiences using it, we cannot find controlled research that supports its use — or that refutes it.
