Preliminary Results of 2009/2010 Control Study

Brain Fitness Strategies performed a controlled study using Rhythmic Movement Training on a group of four students with learning disabilities in a public school. The students received an average of one 40-minute session per week of RMT from October 2009 through May 2010. Students in the study group gained an average of 37 words per minute of oral reading fluency, compared to the control group which gained 12 words per minute. This represents a 208% increase in words per minute gain over the entire group.
