Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper discussing the method by which Scientific Learning’s “Fast ForWord” program treats Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD) that manifest themselves as reading disability, specifically dyslexia. Scientific Learning has developed several software packages designed to implement many of the findings of 25 years of scientific research, much of which links learning disabilities such as dyslexia to physiological deficits in the brain. The company’s products are intended to “switch on” those areas of the brain that have not been fully functional in the past. Research indicates that the company’s claims are valid. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
was founded in 1996 for the purpose of pursuing some of the extraordinary research findings that were surfacing regarding the link between Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD) and conditions such
as dyslexia. It is the mission of Scientific Learning to seek out and then apply "hard science" solutions to reading difficulties. The
companys founding coincided with the beginning of a national cry for more effective education in the public school system. Since then, several states have altered their definitions of and
attention to learning disabilities, and President Bush has fostered No Child Left Behind, federal education legislation which requires that instructional decisions be based on solid scientific research.
Scientific Learning has developed several software packages designed to implement many of the findings of 25 years of scientific research, much of which links learning disabilities
such as dyslexia to physiological deficits in the brain. The companys products are intended to "switch on" those areas of the brain that have not been fully functional in
the past, even though there is no evidence of physical deficiency. Central Auditory Processing Disorders Dyslexics have difficulty distinguishing between rhyming sounds such
as "b" and "d." It has long been known that "b" and "d" have presented young learners with difficulty, and for years it was believed that there was some
sort of disconnect in the brain preventing dyslexics from seeing - or realizing they were seeing - the letters in their proper orientation. Because the two letters names rhyme,
the only way of distinguishing between them when they are spoken occurs as the letters are sounded and lasts for only the briefest of times. Any difficulty with identifying
