The up and down sound sweeps were most useful for me I think, and my family have definitely noticed a difference in my hearing and attention, which is great. It is always the start of a sentence that I tend to miss, and then attempt to 'fill in' with guesswork. What came across clearly for me in the exercises was the crucial role that paying attention pays in identifying the correct sound at the start of a word.

After just 8 weeks on the programmes suggested by Mary I can’t recognise my son! He is more thoughtful and everyone has seen improvements in him. I am delighted.
Parent
Thank you so much for making dreams come true.
I am delighted to report that my daughter has had a vast improvement in many areas!!! I believe this is due to the wonder of The Listening Program.
Parent
Mary is so dedicated and always available to discuss any problems. As a result, our son is making a huge amount of progress. I would thoroughly recommend Mary Kidson and Smart Processing.
Parent
My 11 year old son had a wide range of behaviour and learning difficulties including dyspraxia, hypermobility and sensory and auditory processing problems. Training with The Listening Program at home we noticed improvements in just four weeks. Not only would I highly recommend it, I also listen to it myself and feel so much better as a result.
Parent
My son is due to start secondary school and although his writing and reading skills are limited, I was amazed by how quickly we have seen an improvement with Fast ForWord®. It is so lovely that he will be starting secondary school with the foundations in place for reading, writing and spelling success!
Parent
I had significant problems with coordination. In fact, I was clumsy beyond belief. I am absolutely delighted to say that thanks to Fast ForWord® this is improving. I have also found that I read at a far greater speed and my ability to write and take notes when I’m on the ‘phone has significantly improved.
Student
It was only when my son started the programme that, I realised what his real difficulties were. After a week things got easier and he started to make great progress.
The consultant at Great Ormond St saw his progress reports, from the programme and was so pleased to see how much he had improved.
Parent
My son made great progress with Fast Forword and can now read simple texts independently. This is something we thought we might never see, yet I now believe he can go all the way with reading.
Mary is excellent. Very friendly, helpful and supportive.
Parent
My son made huge improvements. Thank you.
Parent
Thanks very much for all your support, you’ve been so kind and supportive throughout the past year. M is doing well at school and even English is improving. We think the program has helped in small ways, she is struggling less with overall hearing and her English is certainly better.
Parent
Please accept our gratitude for all your support, encouragement and direction whilst Emma has been doing Fast ForWord. She has clearly benefited greatly from the programme. We found your weekly summaries and tips and direction a really valuable translation of the reports that we received each week.
Parents
In general, we notice a big difference in her. one of the best things is that she now has friends, and is actively playing with them at school break time. This is a first.
Parent
Thank you for all your help, time and energy over the year so far. It has been great to have you just an email away, and you have been so supportive. It has been a great pleasure working with you.
