Described is a eurhythmics program for hearing impaired primary, preteen and adolescent children using both structured and informal approaches. (DB)

A retarded boy, unable to read orally or with comprehension, was taught to match spoken to printed words and was then capable of reading comprehension (matching printed words to picture) and oral reading (naming printed words aloud), demonstrating that certain learned auditory-visual equivalences are sufficient prerequisites for reading…

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.…

The paper describes specific techniques developed for utilizing tap dance and creative movement to facilitate speech, language, and auditory training in children with communication disorders. The integration of auditory training with speech and language activities is noted, as is the importance of incorporating movement, sound, rhythm, and…

The report is concerned with the activities of a 3 year pilot project of an educational evaluation and programing unit for children with auditory disorders. The educational evaluation process, the programs and problems of implementation, dissemination, other project activities and an evaluation of the project are discussed. Appendixes cover such…

To evaluate the effectiveness of low-frequency amplification, three classrooms were equipped in an experimental design in which the teacher spoke simultaneously through two different amplifying systems, a low-frequency auditory training unit (Suvag I) and a conventional unit (Warren T-2). Thirty preschool deaf children were matched and assigned to…

Designed to aid in developing auditory perception, this manual provides a program of remediation for children at the fourth through sixth-grade level. The book is divided into two sections. The first consists of seventy-five essays, each written at three levels of difficulty. The level most appropriate for the student is determined and is used for…

A hearing impaired person describes ways in which listening to literature on tape while reading can help develop speech, increase auditory training, improve vocabulary and pronunciation, and lead to better understanding of contextual clues. (CL)

A study was undertaken to determine which of nine variables were most related to success in auditory training, using as Ss 43 students at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Findings showed that the single largest contributing factor to postcourse gain was the entering English score. (PHR)

Independent listening activities using standard audiovisual equipment with an emphasis on discrimination, recognition, and comprehension tasks were developed for 14 deaf students (14 to 16 years old) in speech class. (CL)

We examined the effect of perceptual training on a well-established hemispheric asymmetry in speech processing. Eighteen listeners were trained to use a within-category difference in voice onset time (VOT) to cue talker identity. Successful learners (n = 8) showed faster response times for stimuli presented only to the left ear than for those…

The article, after examining some listening faults, describes a listening program, pointing out some listening techniques that should help a person become a more effective listener. (Author/NQ)
