Demo VideoSights 'n Sounds (Deluxe) Sights'n Sounds Works on the patient's ability to say sounds or words. Shows them a picture, word and/or speaks the word (in a human voice). Then they repeat the sound back and hear their own speech and the model sound for comparison.
Video DemoEspecially helpful for children with auditory discrimination difficulties. In the deluxe version, you may create a custom lesson to work on differentiating trouble sounds (i.e., children who have difficulty distinguishing /w/ from /r/, /p/ from /b/, etc.). You can record lists of words, one at a time, which contain the two sounds to be contrasted. The program speaks a single word aloud, records the child repeating it, and then plays back what they said immediately followed by the model. The printed word can then be displayed for them, so they can see which word they were trying to imitate. For example, if a child hears the word "ring" but says "rain," they get to hear the model a second time after hearing themselves, and then see the word "ring" in print. For readers, this can really boost their sound-letter association, as well as help them to understand their errors. Appropriate for ages 4 to adult.
