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:

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.
