| Innovative Therapies, PC, under the
direction of Speech/Language Pathologist, Aditi
Eve Silverstein, MA, CCC-SLP, has been offering
specialized therapies to patients throughout Virginia,
the United Kingdom and Europe since 1992. Ms. Silverstein
began traveling abroad to offer Sensory Integration
Training for Communication (Auditory Integration
Training) in many different cities throughout England,
Scotland, Ireland and Austria. Ms. Silverstein continues
to present trainings and seminars on Autism and
Auditory Processing Disorders locally and internationally
throughout the United Kingdom, Austria and Dubai.
She regularly travels to the UK and Europe where
she has been providing evaluations, consultations
and treatment for eleven years. Scientific Learning
Corporation, founded in 1996, combines the latest
advances in brain research and technology to create
products and services that develop learning and
communication skills. In March of 1997, after
an extensive field trial with almost 500 children
at 35 sites in the United States, Scientific Learning
Corporation launched its first Fast ForWord®
product. Fast ForWord products, based on more
than 30 years of neuroscience research, are Internet
and CD-ROM programmes that develop the fundamental
language skills that are the building blocks for
communication and reading success. Later that
year, a second field trial, with almost 500 students
in 19 schools across the U.S., replicated earlier
results, showing gains of 1-2 years in 4 to 8
weeks of working on Fast ForWord Language software.
Ms. Silverstein was trained in the Fast ForWord
methodology in early 1997, by Dr. Paula Tallal,
one of the scientists who researched and developed
the products. Since Innovative Therapies had been
offering other therapies in the UK and abroad
since 1992, Ms. Silverstein was given special
permission by Scientific Learning Corporation
(distributors of the Fast ForWord programmes)
to provide the programme to her clients in the
UK. Over sixty children in the UK with dyslexia,
autism, auditory processing deficits and specific
language disorder have received the Fast ForWord
programmes under the guidance of Innovative Therapies.
British children have exhibited the same significant
improvements in speech, language and reading skills
as has been demonstrated by students in the United
States.
Based on the great successes of Fast ForWord
in the United States, in early 2003, the Company
expanded its offering of Fast ForWord programmes
in the UK. Building on its relationship with Ms
Silverstein in the US and her practitioner and
client base in the UK,
Scientific Learning Corporation granted Innovative
Therapies the first distributorship to provide
Fast ForWord products to professionals and schools
throughout the UK.
Currently, professionals are being trained to
administer the programme themselves with their
own clients in the UK. School districts now have
the opportunity to bring these very beneficial
products directly into their schools. This will
offer a greater number of students the benefits
of improved language and reading skills.
