We often talk about ways to help students with dyslexia while in the classroom. But what happens when they are ready to enter the workplace and they still feel like their learning challenges will hinder them? There is a place for everyone and, in reality, those with dyslexia are a true asset to many companies, specifically those in the tech industry. Today's guest is Jeannette Roberes and she wears a lot of different hats. She is an author, speech pathologist, educator, and software engineer. While it sounds like a disconnected career path, Jeanette has used her multitude of experiences and passions to guide her to her role today: an advocate for individuals with dyslexia to pursue careers in tech. She works tirelessly to help organizations be better equipped and accessible to those with dyslexia, and she helps companies understand that individuals with dyslexia come with their own set of superpowers that can be a true asset.   Show Notes: [2:21] - Jeannette is on the board for Smiles for Speech and she explains her role there alongside previous podcast guest, Sandy. [4:06] - As a speech pathologist, Jeanette found the work extraordinary and she explains how she became an advocate for those with dyslexia. [5:34] - Jeannette is also a software engineer and she shares why she sought a career change by utilizing her interests. [7:01] - This experience allowed Jeannette to see how she could be multi-passionate.  [8:03] - In the past, we've seen our parents and grandparents work one job for their whole career, but things are different these days. [9:12] - She now focuses on helping technology companies hire neurodiverse individuals. [10:27] - Dyslexia is a language-based disorder that results in a high level of difficulty in reading. Dr. Wilson shares a bit about dyslexia. [11:12] - Jeannette's book outlines ways for employers to create accessible work spaces for those with dyslexia and what they bring to the job. [12:33] - Many educators are not familiar with dyslexia and are inadvertently providing their students with a negative experience. [13:49] - There is a mindset shift that needs to take place for not only employers but for those with dyslexia to know that they are valuable. [15:54] - We want to tap into our interests and work in a space that allows us to do that. [17:17] - Jeannette and Dr. Wilson discuss tools that can be used to better prepare someone with dyslexia to become proficient in technology. [19:16] - There are several products available and assistive technologies that have a huge impact; however, many parents and students think it is “cheating.” [21:22] - It is not the case that working harder results in success. It is so much more than who works the hardest. [24:02] - No matter the learning difference, we need to embrace every dynamic, including employers. [26:43] - Not only do employers and educators need to embrace their differences, individuals need to know that they are assets.   About Our Guest: Jeannette Roberes is an author who has worked as a speech pathologist, software engineer, and educator.

Watching your child grow up is exciting and wondrous. You marvel at what they pick up and how they develop. For Kim Rackemann and her husband, the journey with their son Finn wasn't quite so straightforward, as Finn wasn't really hitting the usual milestones. He was found to be on the Autism Spectrum, and the main indicator was his language delay. Despite some scepticism, Finn started the Fast ForWord program, and in what seemed to be a short space of time, the improvements started. In this episode, Kim shares Finn's story.

Brad Fuller and Peter Orenstein are music educators at Northern Beaches Christian School on the North Shore of Sydney. Together they run a unique music program that seeks to provide a rich environment for music students which is built on a collaborative model of teaching and leadership. Inspired by their unique talents, they benefit from their experiences as musicians to experiment with new ideas. Whilst there is a curriculum to deliver, the spirit of improvisation is strong in the way it is taught. There is also an emphasis on what they describe as a bidirectional model of leadership within the faculty, allowing for the free flow of ideas between them and the students who learn there. In this episode, Brad and Peter give us an insight into their creative and collaborative space. This interview is recorded is recorded in person, on site, where all the magic happens.

Mimma Mason is the Cogmed manager for Pearson Australia, and has previously been on the show to discuss working memory. But she also spends much of her time helping people understand the emerging field of educational neuroscience. Is it another band wagon, or pop science? We've asked this question before on the show, and it seems like the consistent message is that educational neuroscience is now increasingly informing educational practice and research. If it is for real, then how do we implement it? And what does this mean for future teacher education and professional development? In this episode, Mimma helps us understand what to make of it all.

Mike McKay is now a retired superintendent of the Surrey County schools district in British Columbia. He was a public educator for 35 years. The area he supervised is said to have over 160 languages spoken. You can imagine it would be extremely difficult, if not nigh on impossible to measure the potential problems with language and reading development in such a large and diverse region. But back in 2008 he attended a conference hosted by Scientific Learning Corporation, where he was exposed to the research behind the Fast ForWord programs. When he came back, he asked his board to trust him, and give him $300,000 to get started. It was bold pitch. In this episode, Mike tells the story of how things have panned out.

Sally Wilcox noticed that her son Mac was becoming increasingly frustrated with writing and spelling when he was in grade 5. Thinking back, the early markers were already appearing in grade 1 when he had difficulty following instructions. In Mac's words, it was very simple - he hated writing. On deeper investigation, Mac was diagnosed with what was called an auditory delay, or auditory processing disorder. At first Sally was told that this was developmental and that Mac would grow out of it, and to some extent this was true. Yet the problems persisted and Sally knew that something else needed to happen. Eventually she found the FFW products, and that's when things started to change for the better. Fortunately Mac was very receptive to the issue, and his teacher was also familiar with auditory processing disorder. This combination of factors helped Mac make significant gains at school with regards to academic results, but also with respect to confidence and a stronger willingness to try. In this episode, Sally shares Mac's story.

This is the story of Amelie, who as a young primary aged girl was often described as a 'busy child'. When Amelie's parents, Jane and Craig were given the diagnosis for Amelie of ADHD, there were mixed feelings of relief, but also devastation as they knew there was a problem that needed to be addressed. Amelie was assessed at well below the relevant standards, being two years behind in writing and maths when she started grade 3. After researching extensively, Jane and Craig eventually turned to Fast ForWord. They faced some big challenges along the way, but in the end they, and Amelie persevered with some amazing results. In this episode, Jane shares Amelie's story. This podcast is brought to you by LearnFast.

Language and reading, are universal skills required by everyone across the world. And with English being such a dominant language across the globe, there's an increasing number of people looking for ways to improve their English literacy (especially for children), either because they have specific special needs, or because they need to improve their English for business reasons, or because for whatever reason there is an imperative to learn English. Peter Carabi, vice president of Global Business Development for Scientific Learning is in the privileged position of being able to witness the effects of the Fast ForWord products as they help people with their language skills and provide them with new opportunities, often completely changing the trajectory of young peoples' lives. The program is based on neuroscience, and the concept that the brain is not fixed, but plastic, and has the capability to change itself. Peter describes it as one of the things that can give us all hope. I caught up with Peter at the biannual LearnFast summit in January 2016, on a sunny day in Manly on Sydney Harbour.

In this episode we hear the story of Dr Con Kafataris, father of six, with two children currently working through the Fast ForWord programs. It was a little bit of a journey to find Fast ForWord for his children, but after trying a few avenues, including speech pathology, Dr Kafataris came across Fast ForWord through a book titled, "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Dr Norman Doidge. The science seemed plausible, so he decided to give it a go. In his own words, the changes have been phenomenal. Truly a heart warming story.

In this episode we talk with Dorothy Dore, Principal of Urana Public School. It's a small school of around 30 students, located in the Riverina region of New South Wales. For about 5 years now, the school has implemented Fast ForWord with some amazing results. Comments like "improved articulation, sequencing of ideas, concentration, and retention of concepts" are often used to describe student progress. Can this really happen? Dorothy tells an energetic and convincing story.

This is a 3 part mini series on Fast ForWord Success Stories. If you're listening to this on our SoundCloud page, you might be seeing this as a playlist. Alternatively, and if you're catching this on iTunes, look for episodes 9, 28 and 30. There's quite a bit of talk going on these days in education about the emergence of neuroscience in education. Some are even talking about a scientific model of education, and not just pedagogy. But what is a neuroscience program? Fast ForWord is a product you may have heard of, but don't really know too much about. And it's hard to know exactly what to make of something like Fast ForWord, even if you've read about the science behind it, and maybe read a few testimonial reviews. Or perhaps you have heard about it, and are wondering if its going to work for you. That's where this podcast mini series can help you. In three discussions, you'll hear people talk about real experiences they've had with Fast ForWord. They range from a parent managing one student in the home situation, to a small school in rural New South Wales that implemented a whole school program, to a public school in New Zealand. Three very different situations, but very real results with real people. And, some really great feedback from parents, teachers, students, and principals.

In this episode we talk with Sasha Scott, the reading recovery teacher at Welbourn Primary School in New Zealand, about their success with Fast ForWord. Sasha explains that their decision to go with Fast ForWord was heavily influenced by their own research into the program, which led to them discovering some compelling scientific evidence that Fast ForWord could help their students. Can Fast ForWord really help students to improve their learning capacity, academic achievement, and general demeanour? Let's find out from Sasha.

What is autism and what is the latest information on Autism? Learn about the latest evidence-based research on Autism. What range of behaviors would an autistic student exhibit?

This webinar will cover autism and the behaviors exhibited by autistic children. We will look at the characteristics that are displayed by autistic students and how you can support these students in your district. What interventions could be available to these students in your district? How can early intervention with these students impact the quality of their education and ultimately their day to day lives?

Find out how brain research was put into practice at the Westfield-Washington School District in Westfield, Indiana where students are demonstrating great gains in individual performance. Students showed advancement of 1 year, 1 month using the Fast ForWord programs with an average use of 70 days for 30 minutes a day. 1552 students moved from the 37th percentile to the 61st percentile within an average of 74 days. More than half of the struggling learners moved up at least one level toward proficiency. Through the use of individualized, adaptive computer exercises, actual physical changes occur in the brain--enhancing skills necessary for reading and learning.

As our understanding of how people's brains work and how people learn has improved through neuroscience and cognitive science research over the years, we now see that the way we typically teach and test often doesn't match up well with how individual students learn. Using the theory of disruptive innovation, which describes how products or services that offer simplicity, affordability, and convenience transform a market that was previously dominated by complicated, expensive, and inaccessible ones, Michael Horn will describe how online learning is disrupting our notion of a classroom and how it offers the possibility of moving toward a student-centric learning system that is much more focused on different people's distinct learning needs.

The New Science of Learning is being created by the rapid growth in our scientific understanding of brain development and plasticity. Some recent research findings will be reviewed. The presentation will also review how neuroscience can be applied to the development of training tools that can help enhance literacy and learning in students.

David Boulton discusses the Children of the Code Project and how children learn.

Dr. Michael Merzenich will discuss how his research in brain plasticity can ultimately affect student performance.

Dr. Paula Tallal will discuss her over 40 years of research in neuroscience and how this research can be applied to the classroom to help your struggling students.
