Purpose: Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit auditory processing issues, including poor speech recognition in background noise and dichotic processing (integration of different stimuli presented to the two ears). Auditory training could mitigate these auditory difficulties. However, few auditory training…

Purpose: Auditory training has been shown to reduce rater variability in perceptual voice assessment. Because rater variability is also a central issue in the auditory-perceptual assessment of dysarthria, this study sought to determine if training produces a meaningful change in rater reliability, criterion validity, and scaling magnitude of four…

This study examines the impact of an auditory integration-based developmental support programme on the sensory development and self-regulation skills of children with autism aged three to five years in Turkey. This mixed-methodology research combined quantitative and qualitative methods, and data were collected using a general information form,…

Purpose: A meaning-oriented auditory training program for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (d/hh) was assessed with regard to its efficacy in promoting novel word learning. Method: While administering the auditory training program, one of the authors (Elizabeth Mauzé) observed that children were learning words they previously did not know.…

Experiencing examples of auditory phenomena can clarify textbook and lecture explanations. The addition of visual displays to auditory demonstrations can make them more understandable. Two sound editor programs, Audacity[R] and Adobe Audition Pro 2.0[R], provide excellent capabilities for the display and authoring of auditory demonstrations.…

A significant proportion of the 45 Ss made language age gains of more than six months on subtests of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) and the Detroit Tests of Learning Aptitude (DTLA) and on the Carrow Elicited Language Inventory. (Author/SB)

The report presents the results of a pilot project designed to measure the effect of using Therapen (a device in the shape of a pen which contains a ball point pen and which the student uses to perform kinesthetic and tactile exercises) and the accompanying materials (Tape Program) on 238 educationally handicapped students (6 to 12 years old) with…

A study examined the reading profiles of adult poor readers at a community college and investigated the effectiveness of auditory perception training in the reading ability of these adults. Subjects, 30 students from varied ethnic backgrounds attending the Community College of Rhode Island who were registered for a reading and study skills course,…

Thirty deaf children admitted to an auditory training program before age 2 were studied longituninally to age 40 months in an investigation of the effectiveness of early intervention, the relationship between mother-child interaction and language acquisition, and the effectiveness of new devices developed for auditory training. Among findings were…
