The Sonic Learning Team
Hi, I’m Claire
Claire Hutchinson, Occupational Therapist (BSc)
My name is Claire, and I’m the founder of Sonic Learning. I struggled at school. I just assumed I wasn’t very clever.
In my early 20’s, I was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD/CAPD). It was at that point I used the Fast ForWord program and it changed my life – and I’ve been working with Fast ForWord and now a number of other programs ever since. I’m motivated every day to help others feel a sense of success in themselves as learners so they don’t feel the sense of failure that I experienced as a child.
Hi, I'm Tina Pickford
BSc. Human Communication Science (Hons)
I have been with Sonic Learning since 2007 (!) when I was hired to work on a research project implementing Fast ForWord in Australian schools.
I can't get enough of the way neuroscience programs help improve learning skills and now I'm part of the furniture. You'll see me in lots of the videos on our site because I film most of those.
I love all things neuroscience, could easily live off only coffee and pasta, and am most happy when I'm rollerblading.
Hi, I'm Shahin Seker
BEd., Dip Tchg., Grad Dip Ed Tech., Post Grad Cert SpEd.
If you’ve called or emailed Sonic Learning, you’ve probably spoken with me! My background is in special education in Queensland schools.
I began working with the Fast ForWord program as a school coach, and decided I absolutely had to make neuroscience programs part of my life.
I love running, and have my very own tweenage son to keep me busy!
Hi, I'm Dev Stewart
