What Is the Science Behind NOW! Programs®?
Learning Differences Programs
- NOW! learning difference programs look at the science of how learning takes place in the brain and are built on neuro-developmental research models of how academic and language skills develop in children and adults without learning issues.
- NOW! methods establish foundational skills that produce rapid, tangible results that last. Our evidence-based reading interventions produce substantial improvement in months, not years.
- Unlike other programs designed to accommodate learning issues or improve some reading skills (without improving spelling, reading fluency or comprehension), NOW! Programs® have been proven effective in randomized controlled, peer-reviewed trials backed by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICDH). View the research.
The Science of Reading that tested and proved NOW! Programs® are highly effective with short-term and sustained long-term gains.

NOW! Programs®
for Learning Differences Programs
Our evidence-based dyslexia interventions are rooted in the science of neuroplasticity, helping students build the phonological awareness, reading fluency, and spelling skills essential for lifelong academic and personal success. Each of the four segments in our dyslexia and learning differences program targets a specific area of neurodevelopment, addressing key challenges commonly associated with dyslexia and related learning difficulties.

Why NOW! Learning Difference Programs?
Untreated learning differences can result in frustration, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor school performance, and problem behavior which can begin in childhood and continue throughout adult life. Our learning difference programs are uniquely designed to improve the most likely causes of learning disabilities: weaknesses in specific skills. Improving foundational skills, like phonological processing, working memory, mental imagery, number sequencing, verbal memory, and more, can bring significant, rapid improvements in reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, memory, math, and problem solving.
After years of scientific research, clinical trials, and peer reviews, we have developed a multi-faceted reading program for dyslexia, as well as research-based interventions for reading comprehension, grammar and writing, and mathematics. Complete one, two, three, or all four phases of the program.
Who Needs NOW! Programs®?
Anyone, of any age can benefit from NOW! Programs®. Our certified tutors for learning disabilities work with students from age 5 to age 75.
We commonly work with kids and adults with these concerns:
- Slow and/or inaccurate reading
- Difficulty finding the right word when speaking
- Incorrect pronunciation of words
- Trouble using correct verb tenses
- Difficulty telling a story in sequential order
- Poor writing and spelling
- Trouble following directions, particularly those with multiple steps

Frequently Asked Questions
The basics families and educators ask before getting started with NOW! Programs®.
What is NOW! Programs®?
NOW! Programs® is an evidence-based, research-based online tutoring company offering four programs that address the root causes of dyslexia and learning differences: NOW! Foundations for Speech, Language, Reading & Spelling®, NOW! Mental Imagery, NOW! Grammar and Writing, and NOW! Math Concept Imagery. Sessions are delivered live, one-on-one, in pairs, or in small groups, by trained instructors, for students ages 5 to 75.
What does "Neuro-development of Words" mean?
Neuro-development of Words is the full name behind the NOW! brand, reflecting the company's core approach: building reading, spelling, and language skills by strengthening the specific neurological processes behind them, rather than teaching workarounds or accommodations. The name reflects the underlying science, not just the instructional method.
Who created NOW! Programs® and what research is it based on?
NOW! Programs® was created by Dr. Tim Conway, a research neuropsychologist with a Ph.D. from the University of Florida and over three decades of clinical research in dyslexia and neurodevelopmental disorders. The program's development began in 1989 at The Morris Center and was first published in the 1991 Annals of Dyslexia. Since then, it has been validated through NICHD-funded randomized controlled trials, including studies published in the Journal of Educational Psychology and the Journal of Learning Disabilities.
What ages does NOW! Programs® serve?
NOW! Programs® works with students from age 5 through adulthood, including teenagers, college students, and adults who were never effectively taught to read as children. The same phonological foundation that helps a young child also helps a teenager or adult, since the underlying skill deficit doesn't change with age.
Is NOW! Programs® available online, in person, or both?
Both. NOW! Programs® is delivered online to students across the United States and internationally, and is also offered in person through The Morris Center clinics in Florida and Trinidad and Tobago. Most families choose online instruction for its convenience and consistency, since daily, high-frequency sessions are easier to maintain without travel time.
How is NOW! Programs® different from typical dyslexia tutoring?
Most tutoring programs teach compensatory strategies or reinforce grade-level content without addressing the underlying cause of reading difficulty. NOW! Programs® instead targets the neurodevelopmental root of dyslexia, primarily phonological processing, through structured, evidence-based instruction validated in peer-reviewed, NICHD-funded randomized controlled trials, a standard very few dyslexia programs meet.
