Effect of FM Auditory Trainers on Attending Behaviors of Learning-Disabled Children.

Blake, Ruth; And Others

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v22 n3 p111-14 1991

This study investigated the effect of FM (frequency modulation) auditory trainer use on attending behaviors of 36 students (ages 5-10) with learning disabilities. Children wearing the auditory trainers scored better than control students on eye contact, having body turned toward sound source, and absence of extraneous body movement and vocal behavior. (JDD)
