FULL DESCRIPTION
Scientific Learning Corporation, incorporated in 1995, is an education company.
The Company accelerates learning by applying proven research on how the brain learns in online and on-premise software solutions.
The Company provides its learning solutions primarily to United States K-12 schools in traditional brick-and-mortar, virtual or blended learning settings and also to parents and learning centers, in more than 40 countries around the world.
The Company's products are available worldwide to educational institutions, speech and language clinics, learning centers and parents.
The Company's sales are concentrated in K-12 schools in the United States, which in during the year ended December 31, 2011 were estimated to total over 116,000 schools serving approximately 55 million students in almost 14,000 school districts.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the K-12 sector accounted for 87% of the sales of the Company.
The Company markets its products primarily as learning acceleration solutions, to be used in a blended model with existing teaching and curriculum materials, at both the elementary and secondary school levels.
In addition to selling to K-12 schools, the Company also sells to and through private practice professionals and learning centers. During 2011, over 380 non-school professionals and entities in the United States and Canada (North America) offered the Company's products.
The Company’s flagship Fast ForWord family of products apply learning principles that have been established through neuroscience and cognitive research as critical to learning new tasks: frequency and intensity of exercises, adaptivity to the students' individual performance, timely motivation and simultaneous development of multiple skills.
The Fast ForWord products are web-based products.
The Fast ForWord Language products for elementary learners and the Literacy products for adolescent learners build foundational reading and language skills to help districts move below grade level learners to be successful learners in the general classroom.
These products include Fast ForWord Language v2, Fast ForWord Language to Reading v2, Fast ForWord Literacy and Fast ForWord Literacy Advanced.
The exercises in the Fast ForWord Language v2 product specifically focus on oral language comprehension and listening, including phonological awareness, listening accuracy and comprehension, working memory, and familiarity with language structures.
The content and exercises of the Literacy product are similar to those of Language v2, but have been adapted to maximize impact for adolescents and English language learners.
The Fast ForWord Language to Reading v2 product helps students make the link between spoken and written language, using exercises that focus on listening comprehension, sound letter recognition, phonological awareness, beginning word recognition and English language conventions.
Reading Assistant provides a one-on-one reading tutor for every learner. This software combines advanced speech verification technology with scientifically-based interventions to provide help just when a learner needs it, strengthening their reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
Reading fluency is the ability of a student to read quickly enough to garner meaning from a text, and is reported to have a high correlation with overall reading proficiency.
Progress Tracker, its Internet-based data analysis and reporting tool, analyzes student learning results to provide diagnostic and prescriptive intervention information and allows educators to track and report their students’ learning progress.
Progress Tracker provides detailed reports at the student, classroom, school, and district level, and can be reported by subgroup, providing a tool for educators to analyze student progress towards required goals.
The BrainSpark products are targeted at learners ages five through thirteen who are at or above grade level and want to improve their overall learning potential.
BrainSpark is cross-training for the brain; the products exercise two or more learning muscles within each game exercise.
The BrainSpark products can be purchased directly online and accessed via a web-browser from a computer.
BrainPro services are targeted at learners who are below grade level and want to catch up.
BrainPro learners access our Fast ForWord family of products from home and work with a certified tutor remotely.
The KinderSpark series is designed to be a collection of engaging iPad games for children aged 3-6 that help them build kindergarten readiness skills and excel in learning by combining proven research on how the brain learns, input from education experts, and fun.
The Company licenses its products in a variety of configurations to meet our customers’ needs.
