Nouns and Sounds
Sterling Edition™
Here's a fun, effective way to increase auditory
awareness and build critical listening skills. Individuals of all
ages will enjoy exploring nouns, matching them with photographs, identifying
sounds, and playing games that exercise auditory and visual short-term
memory.
Product Description:
 Nouns & Sounds
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 2 1/2 years of age while the remainder are acquired
later.
Optimized Intervention® offers
improved training
Using our Optimized 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.
Seven
Activities are Available.
Optimized Intervention
This activity automatically
assesses a student’s knowledge of common nouns
and their sounds and then delivers highly individualized
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. |

"This group of seven highly
stimulating activities gives children the ability to develop greatly-needed
auditory skills that are so important for speech and language abilities.
Several of my non-speaking children verbalized for the first time
when they were exposed to the sounds of these words."
