How does RIFFIT App help people with learning disability?

People with learning disabilities have limited neurological pathways in their left brain (where language is processed) but are often gifted with far more extensive pathways in their right brain (where music is processed). While speech pathologists and music therapists work to harness the power of the right-side brain, these solutions are often time consuming and expensive. With RIFFIT we’ve integrated the proven clinical capabilities of music therapy into a personalized solution. You won’t have to work harder or longer to keep up, you can just listen to amazing sounding songs of your choice!

Have you conducted any study to evaluate the benefits of RIFFIT App?

We saw promising results from our pilot study conducted on 48 students with dyslexia in grades 4th to 8th: 60% of the students saw statistically significant improvement (scores went up from 51% correct to 68% correct) in reading comprehension using RIFFIT app. Students who struggle to read improved their scores by 200% (scores went up from 16% correct to 47% correct).

What is the benefit of using RIFFIT’s App?

One of the Speech & Language Pathologist who used RIFFIT App with her students gave us this feedback:

I used the RIFFIT Text To Song App with my elementary school students with language and learning delays and found that the App significantly improved the student’s ability to comprehend the stories; thus, enabling improved story summary responses. Improvement was noted in just a few sessions! When asked to summarize the passage, the student progressed from just quoting a sentence from the passage read to giving an overall summary. This is an app that not only helps those who need an alternate modality of learning but is also helpful for the student who is an auditory learner.
