NeuroAuditory Pathway
Your child hears the words. But the sounds are not sticking.​
​
Assessment-Led. Targeted. Structured.​
​
Some children can decode words but still find reading slow, choppy and exhausting. Others struggle to hold speech sounds in mind long enough to use them — in reading, spelling or conversation. The effort is real, but the root cause is often auditory: the brain's feedback loop between speaking, hearing and processing is not working as efficiently as it should.
NeuroAuditory uses Forbrain to strengthen that loop directly.

The programme
Forbrain is a bone conduction headset developed by Sound for Life, the founders of the Tomatis Method — one of the world's leading approaches to sensory stimulation for learning. The device is fitted with a microphone and a patented dynamic filter. When a child speaks or reads aloud, their voice is captured, processed by the filter to enhance high-frequency sounds, and sent back to their brain via the temporal bones — ten times faster than through the air.
This creates an enhanced audio-vocal feedback loop. The brain hears its own speech more clearly and accurately than it normally would, which trains it to process language sounds with greater speed and precision. Over time, this strengthens the foundations of reading fluency, speech clarity, verbal memory and sustained attention — all from sessions of just ten to twenty minutes a day at home.

How to use it
Forbrain is used during everyday activities:
• Reading aloud — the most common and effective use for children with reading difficulties
• Homework review — reading notes or text aloud while wearing the device
• Conversation practice — for children with speech clarity or verbal fluency difficulties
​
Sessions are 10–20 minutes, completed 4–5 times per week at home.
The device is provided as part of the pathway set-up.
​​
Monthly 30-minute clinical review (parent + child).
Each month we:
• Track words per minute
• Analyse fluency shifts
• Adjust usage
• Refine targets
Minimum commitment: 3 months.

Why auditory processing matters for reading
Reading is not just a visual task. It depends on the brain's ability to connect written symbols to the sounds of spoken language and to do that quickly, automatically and accurately. For this to work, the audio-vocal loop must be efficient: the brain must monitor the sounds it hears, store them briefly in working memory, and use them to decode, comprehend and respond.
When this loop is underdeveloped, reading becomes effortful even when a child knows their phonics. They can sound out letters but the process is slow, choppy and tiring. Spelling suffers because sound memory is weak. Verbal fluency suffers because the brain cannot keep pace with what it wants to say.
Practising reading more does not resolve this. The feedback loop itself needs to be strengthened.​​
​NeuroAuditory uses Forbrain — a bone conduction headset — to enhance the brain's own auditory feedback loop, training it to process speech sounds more efficiently and accurately.
Does this sound familiar?
Your child may:
​
• Read accurately but slowly, with noticeable effort on every word
• Lose their place, re-read lines, or read in a flat, choppy rhythm
• Find reading aloud more tiring than reading silently
• Struggle to hold speech sounds in mind — affecting spelling, phonics and recall
• Speak unclearly or imprecisely, even when they know what they want to say
• Tire quickly during any task that involves sustained listening or verbal output
• Appear to understand less than they actually do because processing is slow
​
​
These patterns often point to an inefficiency in the audio-vocal loop — the brain's system for monitoring, processing and responding to the sounds of speech. When this loop is weak, reading, speaking and listening all take more effort than they should. The processing load is high even when the child is trying hard.
By strengthening the audio-vocal feedback loop, this pathway improves:
​
• Reading rate — how many words per minute a child reads with understanding
• Fluency smoothness — the ability to read in a natural rhythm without stopping on every word
• Verbal monitoring — awareness of how speech sounds are being produced and received
• Working memory efficiency — holding speech sounds in mind long enough to use them in reading and spelling
• Cognitive endurance — sustaining focus and accuracy over longer reading or listening tasks
• Speech clarity — the precision and confidence of spoken language
​
The goal is reduced mental strain — so reading and speaking take less effort, not more practice.
How NeuroAuditory Works
Assessment
A diagnostic assessment confirms that NeuroAuditory is the appropriate pathway for your child's profile. If you have already completed an assessment with This Is Dyslexia or another specialist provider, we will review the report before placement.
Device and
set-up
The Forbrain device is provided as part of your set-up. You receive a structured home session plan tailored to your child's profile — including when to use the device, for how long, and during which activities. No specialist equipment or technical knowledge is needed.
Home sessions
Your child uses Forbrain at home for 10–20 minutes, 4–5 times per week — typically during reading aloud or homework. Sessions are short, structured and straightforward to fit into a daily routine.
Monthly Review
Each month, Laura holds a 30 minute review with you and your child. We track words per minute, analyse fluency shifts, adjust usage targets and identify any barriers to progress. You receive a written update after every review.
Every decision is led by data.
What is included
Your set-up fee includes:
​
• Forbrain bone conduction device (yours to keep)
• Initial assessment review and pathway confirmation
• Personalised home session plan tailored to your child's profile
• Onboarding guidance so you can start with confidence Set-up and onboarding: £299 (one-off)
​
Your monthly fee includes:
​
• Structured home session plan (4–5 sessions per week, 10–20 minutes each)
• Monthly 30-minute clinical review with Laura
• Words-per-minute and fluency tracking throughout the programme
• Written progress update after each monthly review
• Structured written progress report and data comparison at 12 weeks
Investment:
£299 set up and device
£99 per month
Minimum 3-month commitment
Assessment required prior to placement.
​
The Forbrain device is yours to keep after the programme — meaning your child can continue using it independently as part of their daily reading routine. Many families find it remains a valuable tool long after the clinical pathway concludes.
​
Capacity is limited to 12 families to ensure the standard of clinical oversight.
