Here’s a fun, new way to increase auditory awareness and build listening skills. Both children and adults will have a great time exploring nouns, matching them with photographs, identifying sounds, and playing games that exercise visual and auditory short-term memory.

Nouns & Sounds Sterling Edition is an engaging program that encourages individuals to match common environmental sounds with 100 realistic photographs. Of the 100 nouns used in the program, half are acquired by typically developing children by two and a half years of age while the remainder are acquired later. In addition to training discrimination of 100 environmental sounds, Nouns & Sounds also exercises short-term memory, builds auditory awareness and listening skills.

Optimised Intervention® offers improved training

Using Laureate Learning’s Optimised Intervention technology, Nouns & Sounds begins with an assessment to determine which sounds a student can’t identify. During training, the student is asked to match a sound to a photograph (“Find the one that makes this sound… meow.”). The program continually tracks a student’s performance and uses this information to guide the learning process.

Flexibility and control

You decide whether to train using two or three choices, whether to have visual reinforcement on or off, and whether to include text. At the end of each session, a performance summary is presented, allowing you to quickly review progress and ensure accountability.

Now Includes Nine Activities

• Optimised Intervention
  This activity automatically assesses a student’s knowledge of common nouns and their sounds and then delivers highly individualised training. Based on a student’s responses, the program moves among three training levels, each with a different amount of instructional support.
  
• Training by Level
  Students are asked to match sounds with photographs. You can choose any one of the three training levels to accommodate individuals who need a fixed level of support.
  
• Testing
  This activity can be used to document pre- or post-training performance.
  
• Three Additional Instructional Activities
  
  • Is this the Right Sound? asks students to decide whether a sound matches or does not match a picture.
    
  • Identifying Noun Sounds asks students to listen to a sound and identify the correct picture from 6, 8, or 12 choices.
    
  • Remember that Sound presents a sound and, after a short delay, asks the student to identify the correct picture from two or three choices.
  
  
• Three Supplemental Activities
  
  • Introducing Nouns and Sounds is a single switch activity that presents one noun and its sound at a time.
    
  • Exploring Noun Sounds lets users explore different sounds from an array of 6, 8, or 12 picture choices.
    
  • Concentrate on Noun Sounds asks students to find two identical pictures from an array of 6, 8 or 12 cards that appear face down.

Nouns & Sounds Sterling Edition is suggested for individuals (Pre-K through Adult) with autism, developmental disabilities, language-learning disabilities, low vision, hearing impairments, cochlear implants, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and aphasia.
