ASD Reading has transformed the teaching of reading... The program is absolutely outstanding. I believe that central to the program's success is:
1) Its steady integration of spoken and written language, and
2) Its unique incorporation of "immediate interactive feedback." Research has shown that this type of feedback is critically important to engaging the student and enhancing effective learning.

Why us?
ASD Reading is the reading program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other learning disabilities. The online program teaches kids to read, write and comprehend.
Current reading education relies on methods that do not work for many children on the spectrum with the result that the majority never gain the ability to read with fluency or comprehension. But, ASD Reading's innovative approach enables children to succeed - even when they are non-verbal (i.e., non-speaking).

ASD Reading captivated my daughter's imagination and taught her to read, to the amazement of her school teachers. Everything about it was so logical and it also set her up to develop all other academic skills.

ASD Reading has transformed our relationship with our daughter, Kate. Its reading and writing programs helped her develop critical communication and problem solving skills. Now Kate reads and spells at or above grade level and we can €˜talk' with her about her interests and feelings via writing. It has allowed us to recognize her true potential.
