Pathway
Processing Speed and Working Memory Support for Children
Does this sound familiar?
Your child sits down to do homework and within minutes they’re frustrated, tearful, or shut down completely.
They’re not being difficult. They’re exhausted.
When a child’s brain struggles to process language quickly and accurately, every lesson, every instruction, every page of reading costs them more effort than it costs their peers. By the time they get home, they have nothing left.
-
They miss parts of instructions even when they’re listening
-
They ask for things to be repeated constantly
-
Reading is slow despite months or years of extra support
-
They forget what they’ve just been told
-
They seem capable in other areas but hit a wall with language and learning
This is not a behaviour problem. It is not laziness. It is not a reflection of your child’s intelligence.
It is a processing problem and processing can be changed.
What's actually going on in your child's brain
Reading and learning depend on how quickly and accurately the brain can do four things:
• Process language
• Hold information in working memory
• Focus attention
• Sequence information in the right order
When these systems are running inefficiently, learning becomes slow, effortful and exhausting, regardless of how hard your child tries.
Most support focuses on the reading itself. More phonics. More practice. More repetition of the thing that isn’t working.
The NeuroProcessing Pathway works differently.
It targets the underlying systems that make reading and learning possible in the first place.
A program that targets the root cause
The NeuroProcessing Pathway uses Fast ForWord — an adaptive, neuroscience-based programme developed by neuroscientists at the University of California and backed by over 300 research studies, including fMRI evidence from Stanford and Harvard showing new neural activation in language regions after use.
It doesn’t just practise the difficulty. It changes how the brain processes information.
Fast ForWord targets:
• Memory — holding and using information during tasks
• Attention — staying focused without burning out
• Processing speed — responding accurately and quickly
• Sequencing — organising information in the right order
As these foundations strengthen, reading, comprehension, listening and learning become faster and more automatic.
Research shows children typically achieve 1–2 years of reading progress in 40–60 hours when the underlying systems are targeted directly.
What the programme involves
Your child completes structured sessions at home — no travel, no disruption to the school day.
4–5 sessions per week
Approximately 30 minutes per session. The programme adapts automatically to your child’s performance in real time, keeping them working at exactly the right level of challenge.
Compatible devices: PC, laptop with separate mouse, or iPad. Chrome browser recommended. Good quality headphones required.
What's included every month
• Full access to the Fast ForWord programme
• Personalised implementation schedule agreed at onboarding
• Structured home session plan
• Bi-monthly 30-minute review with Laura — analysing your child’s progress data
• Written progress sent via weekly email
• Processing and fluency tracking throughout
• Direct email support between reviews
Investment: £399 for 3 months access
or
£149 per month - minimum 3-month commitment — that’s under £5 a day.
The baseline promise
Fast ForWord generates data on your child’s performance from the very first session. Every month, that data tells us exactly how their processing is changing — not an estimate, not a feeling, actual numbers.
If your child completes six months on the programme and their data shows no measurable improvement from where they started, I will extend for a further three months at no charge.
The risk sits with me, not with you.
How it works
SIGN UP
Complete a short application to join the programme. The programme always starts on 1st of a month. Complete the direct debit with payment collected in advance on the 28th.
review
Within 48 hours of your application, you’ll receive a link to book your onboarding meeting and I will work behind the scenes setting everything up.
onboarding
Just before the programme starts, we'll hold a 30-minute onboarding session together. We review your child’s profile, explain exactly how Fast ForWord works, and agree a schedule that fits your family.
sessions begin
Your child starts their sessions. I monitor progress throughout and will send you weekly emails and we'll schedule a review meeting every 2 months.
Who is this for
The NeuroProcessing Pathway is best suited to children who:
• Read slowly despite additional teaching or tutoring
• Struggle to follow spoken instructions or process language quickly
• Have weak working memory
• Find learning effortful and tiring
• Show signs of auditory processing difficulty
• Aged 6–16 years old
About Laura
“I spent 23 years in mainstream schools watching children struggle and watching the system run out of road for them. I built this programme because families deserve more than a report and a list of recommendations that nobody follows up on. Every child I work with gets my eyes on their data every single month. Nothing is left to guesswork.”
Laura Gowers — Dyslexia Specialist & Founder, This is NeuroLearning
Capacity is limited.
Individual oversight of every child’s data means I can only work with a small number of families at any one time.
When those spaces are full, new applications go to a waitlist.
Investment:
£399 for 3 months access or
£149 per month - Minimum 3-month commitment
Research shows children using Fast ForWord achieve 1–2 years of reading progress in 40–60 hours. Every session is monitored. Every month is reviewed. Capacity is limited to 12 families to maintain this standard of oversight.
Most families spend months or years receiving support that addresses the symptoms of slow processing-not the cause. NeuroProcessing targets the underlying brain systems directly, with every session monitored and every month reviewed.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Parent of year 4 child
For the first time, I can see my child believing in themselves again. Reading used to end in frustration and tears. Now they're picking up books without me asking and their confidence has grown just as much as their reading.
Parent of year 3 child
I never thought I'd see the day my child chose to read on their own. We went from daily battles and excuses to them reading because they want to. That change alone has been worth every penny.
Parent of year 6 child
The biggest difference isn't just in school. Homework takes less time, there's less frustration at home and my child no longer sees themselves as the one who's always behind.
Do I need a prior assessment?
No. The Fast ForWord baseline built into the programme establishes your child’s starting point from day one. If you have a previous assessment report from another specialist, bring it to onboarding and we’ll use it alongside the programme data.
What if my child misses sessions?
Life happens and I fully understand. The programme is flexible and sessions can be rescheduled within the week. Consistency matters more than perfection and we’ll talk through what works for your family at onboarding.
What age does this work for?
Children aged 6–16. The programme adapts to the child’s level regardless of age.
How is this different from a tutor?
A tutor works on the reading. This programme works on the brain systems that make reading possible. Most children who come to us have already had tutoring — this is what happens when you go underneath the reading difficulty rather than around it.
What if it doesn’t work?
That’s what the Baseline Promise is for. If your child completes the programme and the data shows no measurable improvement, I extend for three months at no charge. The data doesn’t lie — and neither do I.
