TestEdge is research-based and is scientifically-validated to improve test scores, learning cycles, comprehension, listening skills, focus and attention, memory recall, and motivation to succeed.

Dialogue offers an extensive training and coaching program for students in grades 3 - 12+ using TestEdge. In addition to test performance and classroom learning improvements, students will learn how to manage their emotions with HeartMath's interactive computer technology system called Freeze Framer(R). These programs are useful for all students regardless of development.

"TestEdge has had a dramatic impact on students' ability to perform up to their capacity on high school exit exams, thus increasing the number of students who graduate with a diploma. This program is designed to equip students and teachers with the knowledge and skills to achieve emotional and mental balance; to improve academic performance, especially among disadvantaged populations, in such subjects as math, science, and reading; to assist students who have ADHD and other problems; and to counter the effects of violence, bullying, and similar behaviors on the school environment." Kathy Lesley, Assistant Superintendent, Los Angeles Unified School District
