Educators and professionals are encouraged to take advantage of their summer vacation to expand their knowledge by viewing a series of webinars. There are seven recommended webinars covering a wide range of education-related subjects concerning impoverished students and those with learning difficulties and differences. The webinars are available for viewing on your Smartphone, tablet, and PC.
Featured webinar topics include Fast ForWord Invention, Jumpstart, and the effect these programs have had on aiding academic improvement among impoverished students. Also discussed are studies showing that neuroscience-based programs, like Fast ForWard, have the ability to significantly improve the language and attention skills of autistic children and the reading comprehension of children with Dyslexia. Other webinars focus on ELL and the advantages of bilingualism.

Key takeaways

  1. During Summer break teachers take advantage of listening to educational webinars about children with dyslexia.
  2. Children of poverty have just as much of an opportunity to succeed as children not from poverty, in fact they have an even greater opportunity.
  3. Rates of autism are on the rise but software such as Fast ForWord can help enhance these children’s lives and educational setting.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
