A person Autistm
Fantastic quick postage and great instructions. The wand is great it just makes the page feel like I'm flowing through the words rather than thinking I've got ages to get to the end. I love the idea of the wand and feel it has encouraged me to want to read and try again .

Thanks for making reading more fun again for my son Gabriel ..... He has read a full book in three weeks at school as he now likes to read . I do however wish there was a way of not loosing the wand as we can't find it at mo and miss using the wand at home

FAQs

Reading Wands are assistive cognitive reading tools that incorporate visual integration, sensory components, and multi-stage reading support for neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia. They are designed to enhance focus, visual processing, and comprehension through unique, scientifically-based methods.
-
The Focus Wand is a specialised reading tool designed to support the holistic development of the brain. It comes with Neo Tips, which are adjustable based on the individual’s unique profile and reading needs. These tips help create a tailored reading experience, providing visual guidance, sensory feedback, and cognitive stimulation to improve focus, comprehension, and information retention.
-
The Peripheral Wand is an innovative product designed to train the eyes to read in chunks of two or more words at a time, rather than one word per fixation point. It’s the first of its kind, offering a multi-stage training system that expands eye vision and gradually moves readers from word-by-word reading to grouping words, allowing for faster comprehension, visualisation, focus, and information retention.
-
Reading Wands are particularly beneficial for neurodivergent individuals, such as those with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia, who may struggle with traditional reading methods. They are also helpful for anyone looking to improve their reading focus, visual processing, and comprehension.
-
To use the Focus Wand, select the appropriate Neo Tip based on your specific needs. Place the wand over, under or across the text to help guide your eyes, promoting better focus and reducing distractions. The sensory and visual integration aspects of the wand support more holistic brain development, improving reading skills over time.
-
The Peripheral Wand is designed to expand your eye’s ability to recognise multiple words at once. Begin by using the wand to read two words per fixation point, and as your eyes adjust, lower the Neo Tips to train your vision to expand further. This gradual progression helps you move from word-to-word reading to grouping multiple words, making reading faster and more efficient.
-
Neo Tips are interchangeable attachments that come with the Focus Wand, designed to cater to different sensory and visual needs. By using these tips, individuals can customise their reading experience based on their personal preferences, allowing for improved focus, comprehension, and engagement.
