PHORCE Program
History |
|
The Jett PHORCE
program was created in 1997 by Dr. Elaine
Jett. Dr. Jett's credentials include a Ph.D
in Early Childhood Education from the University of
Illinois, author of reading curriculums used
nationally for Sylvan Learning Centers, and, of course, the
development of the Jett PHORCE program for Dyslexia.
The Jett PHORCE program has been receiving ongoing updates
since its creation in 1997 and is now used by numerous independent
and franchised clinics throughout the country
in states such s Connecticut, Florida, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, and Georgia. Historical milestones for the
program are shown below.

Prior to licensing the Jett PHORCE program, Dr. Jett
performed a 6 month and 12 month study. The
data behind this study were analyzed and verified by John
C. Ory, Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and are summarized
below.

To illustrate Rate of Skill
Growth
above: If at the end of 4th grade
the reading level was at 2nd grade, the current rate of
reading growth would be 1/2 grade level per year (4 years
* 1/2 grade level = 2nd grade). An increase of 467%
would mean the rate of growth would increase from 1/2
grade level per year to 2.3 grade levels per
year.

If the starting percentile ranking was at the 16th percentile,
an increase of 135% would increase the percentile ranking to the
37th percentile.
Notes
-
Independent
analysis and verification performed by Dr. John Ory, University of Illinois
-
Study performed on individuals
specifically diagnosed with Dyslexia, not just
struggling reading, below proficient readers, school
classified "specific leaning disability", AD/HD, or “at-risk for
a learning disability”.
-
70 Students in 6 months figures, 33 of 70 Students in 12 month figures
-
6 month figures represent 48 hours of therapy, 12 month figures represent 96 hours of therapy
-
During the first 6 months of DIA Therapy,
at least 50% of therapy time focuses on Cognitive Learning
Skill Deficits
-
Individual client results can vary significantly,
some clients have only problematic cases of dyslexia, while
others have moderate to severe cases of dyslexia.
