Microphone Work (New!)

 

If you can't hear a particular sound, your voice won't be able to replicate it. With the addition of bone conduction headphones with a microphone attached to it, the listener can speak and hear his/her own voice back through the headphones. This is a very important phase in retraining the ears. Audio-Vocal training uses the power of one's own voice to improve language, learning, communication and thinking skills. This "active" phase of the program uses structured audio-vocal lessons designed to stimulate and train the voice to produce an increased spectrum of harmonics and develop the ability to more clearly discriminate and express speech sounds. The listener's ability to discriminate and process sounds is enhanced when the "ear-voice" loop is trained. As a result, the listener increases his/her ability to receive and understand auditory input for higher level comprehension and critical thinking skills. These repeat exercises will enhance:

 

Handwriting Exercises

  • Reading comprehension and retention;

  • Listening;

  • Speech and language;

  • Reading fluency;

  • Alertness and attention to detail;

  • Thinking and problem solving;

  • Academic achievement;

  • Communication and social skills

 

Listen & Repeat Exercises

 
The audio-vocal training uses structured and sequenced "listen and repeat" lessons. These lessons follow the developmental sequence of sound frequencies for language acquisition. The focus of this phase is verbal input and output and voice play. The listener is introduced and guided to experience new listening and speaking behaviors. For clients who are able, "rehearsed reading" provides experience to establish new reading habits and patterns that will increase reading rate, accuracy and comprehension. Oral reading is practiced to reinforce new reading and language skills. In addition to the audio-vocal exercises, handwriting exercises will be introduced as well. Handwriting has a powerful impact on the brain and prepares the brain for the reading process. Combining it with therapeutic music provides visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile stimulation; a perfect combination of learning styles. Doing these exercises increases the activity of neurons (brain cells) which leads to an increase in metabolism, which in turn, leads to an increase in blood flow to the brain, which stimulates growth and additional learning.
