Simplify the multiple aspects of remediating central auditory processing disorders with this expansive hierarchy of ready-to-use exercises.
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
