(cont)...Developing an Auditory Training Program 

by Ann Gloyn

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR AUDITORY PROGRAM

"motivation is provided by another to attend to sound in the environment"

> structure environment to include novel sound-filled experiences

> repeat experience linking them with gestures and signs

> create a reason for individual to respond to a sound that is presented

> share in play experiences which include sound, touch, and looking

>  use amplification devices to help child attend to auditory stimuli

> help child tolerate amplification using consistency stressed between       home, school, recreational and therapy expectations during enjoyable   activity like music, rocking, while holding favourite toy, etc

> target sound you want child to hear > voice, toy music ensuring other sounds are not present to distract or startle

> manipulate objects that create sound or place onto vibration (wooden sound stage, inside grand piano)

> speech, then sign, then listen, then touch > don't overload

> touch lips, jaw, and then throat as speech is repeated simplistically

> reward through praise any attempts explore, touch, or listen
