Testing & Treating Reading Disorders at Their Source
The Cellfield programme is a breakthrough approach designed to test and treat reading disorders by addressing the core issues that hinder a child's ability to learn how to read.
Grounded in advanced brain scanning research, it identifies that reading disabilities stem not only from auditory or language processing challenges, but also from visual processing difficulties — especially in the crucial bridging areas that connect visual input to auditory interpretation.
Using cutting-edge computer science, Cellfield uniquely targets all three processing areas simultaneously, enabling children to experience remarkable, step-change improvements in their reading skills.

How the Treatment Works
The Cellfield treatment incorporates a patented motion graphics design. This dynamic interface continuously moves over words and sentences, systematically stimulating the transient vision centres in the brain.
These visuals act as a moving mask that challenges the brain to fill in the missing pieces of text, reinforcing both visual and auditory processing skills.
Building Phonological Awareness
The programme includes targeted exercises that enhance phonological awareness through rhyme and sound differentiation activities, as well as demanding decoding and encoding tasks — resulting in dramatic improvement in decoding ability.
