Cellfield Reading Program
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cellfield is a revolutionary reading program designed to create neural connections in the brain that are responsible for proper reading including comprehension and will enhance major sensory functions critical to reading.
How Do you Measure Results?
We use Industry standard tests (e.g: GORT and Woodcock) BEFORE and AFTER Cellfield to measure student outcomes
Cellfield is Unique
Cellfield targets visual and auditory processing

Auditory to Visual Bridge

This represents an accelerated gain of 23 months or an advance of two entire grade levels for the duration of the program. Given that over half the participants took two weeks or less to complete the ten sessions and two thirds of participants completed them in less than one month, this is indeed an extraordinary result.

Feedback
"To someone considering becoming a Cellfield Provider, I would say go for it! There will be challenges, difficulties and issues along the way - help is often just a phone call away. The real reward comes in knowing you have made a difference in that client's life and changed the direction of their future - you may just break a cyclic life pattern such as a generational family history of illiteracy. ”

"Ben has shown a greater willingness to read and reads longer before he makes a mistake and is more fluent. He is showing more expression when he reads and greater interest in what he reads. Ben will now pick up any reading material without being asked and have a go. Ben appears to enjoy reading more and has become more confident in his speech."

"Since Steve completed the Cellfield program our whole families dynamics have changed including Steve’s outlook on learning. Going to school and any school related work was always a battle and we fought every morning and every evening and it was exhausting. Within 3 days of the Phase I Cellfield sessions we started seeing a difference. For the first time in 5 years he did not argue about going to school. I WAS SHOCKED. From that day on it was just up hill."
