Company: Scientific Learning
Originated from brain theory research. It says if you slow words down for students in an intervention setting it will improve their reading. Hinges on the assumption that students' reading issues stem from auditory processing deficits. They have data that says it works but the confound is of course if you put kids with decoding issues in an intensive 4 hour per day intervention for 8 weeks, you'll get results. Does it work for all reading issues? Probably not. Not all reading issues are decoding/auditory. Program is very expensive and is meant to be implemented via intensive labs. The difficulty they have run into is that selling it as a reading intervetion is hard when it focuses so much on "brain theory".
