FAQs
What age are the programs suitable for?
Usually, ages 5 through to adults can do these holiday courses, however suitability will depend on skill level. If you are unsure, please book a free professional consult.
For children aged 3 – 5, you may like to consider executive function training, created with Harvard and UC Berkeley neuroscientists – see this page for more details.

Are these programs backed by research?
This is a really important question to ask when you’re deciding on a program to use. We only use interventions that are backed by research – check out more on the research page.
Is there a guarantee?
As health and education professionals, we adhere by relevant advertising standards which state we can’t guarantee a certain result (every brain is different!) What we do guarantee is to provide you with awesome, research-backed interventions and professional guidance to help you progress. We’re committed to helping you improve your skills and are always here to help throughout your course.
I'm not sure which course to choose.
No problem. Complete this short form to request a recommendation and book a professional consult to discuss options with our team.
Can I use my NDIS funding?
Yes, there are holiday programs for NDIS participants. Our NDIS therapy programs combine video consults with a health professional with research-backed home practice exercises. We usually start with a 3 month initial agreement but can arrange a 6 week course to begin with if needed. Complete this short form to request a personalised recommendation.
When does the course begin and end?
Your course will begin on your first training day and end 6 weeks later (Cogmed may run longer depending on your chosen protocol). Sonic Learning’s team will monitor and adjust your program during this time as needed and you won’t run out of exercises to do.
How long will I need to complete the program?
Every individual is different and the exercises are adaptive to individual needs, so the time spent on each program will also vary. As a guide, each Fast ForWord and Reading Boost exercise set usually takes 6 – 8 weeks to complete and we recommended completing at least 2 sets of exercises.
Is there a discount for multiple family members?
If you’re paying privately, we offer a 10% discount when you enrol 2 family members at once and a 15% discount when you enrol 3 family members at once. If you’re enrolling them in the same program you can access the discount online. For multiple enrolments across different programs, book a consult so we can set this up for you.
Can I extend the course beyond 6 weeks?
Yes, at the end of the initial 6 week course you may purchase additional intervention time in monthly blocks, with discounts for purchases of 2 and 3 month extensions.
What technology do I need?
You’ll need either:
- A Windows or Mac computer with an up-to-date browser (we recommend Google Chrome on Windows or Safari on Mac)
- An iPad with iOS 11.3 or later.
For sound based exercises, headphones are recommended to help you concentrate (we recommend stereo headphones that cover the whole ear, such as these ones from Altronics). Parents monitoring their children should use a headphone double adaptor so they can also hear the sound.
Android devices can be used for Cogmed only.
How do I enrol?
You can either enrol online below if you’re not using NDIS funding, or complete a short form for a recommendation and book a professional consult to chat more and/or enrol over the phone.
