This three-book program targets central auditory processing disorders with a bottom-up approach. Discrete skills are developed at levels of increasing complexity. The lesson formats vary according to the targeted skill. Most of the lessons are ready-to-use. Copy the student activity pages or print them from the CD.
Book 1
- Visual-auditory memory—visualize and pay attention to details; includes full-color cards for use in barrier activities
- Auditory-sequential memory—immediate vs. delayed recall, following directions, matching rhythms
Book 2
- Auditory discrimination—discriminate sounds in words and sentences, voiced/voiceless sounds in words, and the position of sounds in words
- Auditory closure exercises in four areas—identify missing words, missing syllables, and missing phonemes; use context to derive word meaning
- Auditory synthesis exercises—identify the number of syllables and initial sounds in words, combine sounds segments into words, build speech-to-print associations
