Cellfield Intervention - Treats Dyslexia and other reading difficulties by working the phonics, visual pathways and active working memory of the printed word simultaneously. It has a quick reward system to maintain motivation, empowers the student to attack the written word with enthusiasm and is challenging, yet inherently motivating.

After much research and review of many programs designed to help with Dyslexia or other reading difficulties it was realized that what an effective program needed was...

• To address the phonics, visual pathways and active working memory of the printed word simultaneously.
• To be short with a quick reward system to maintain motivation.
• Would empower the student to attack the written word with enthusiasm.
• Would be challenging, yet inherently motivating.

Cellfield is a program that does all of the above with modern computer technology and the student gets to compete against only him or herself and see their grades rise in a matter of only 10 days!

If a student is 8 years old (sometimes 7) and has Dyslexia or other reading difficulties he or she might benefit from Cellfield intervention. Research on this innovative program is conclusive and real.

Cellfield is a 12 week program so space is limited. Call immediately to schedule your child.
