These
brain-training exercises actually speak to the user in a realistic
human voice, making him feel as though he is playing with
a real person who encourages, praises and challenges him to
do his best. SoundSmart automatically adapts its presentation
to the age of the "player" --- novel feedback and
entertaining encouragement for kids, colorful but not childish
presentation for adults.
The computer
displays a record of how much “prize money” the user is accumulating
by doing a good job! If you wish, you can allow the user to
trade in prize money for actual prizes to boost motivation.
Records
on each user are automatically kept by the computer, which
also keeps track of where the individual stopped in his training.
SoundSmart's
Unique Training Tracks
Within each
program SoundSmart features five unique training “tracks.”
Thus, each of the programs may easily be set up as a
behavioral exercise to train self-control (the “patience”
track), auditory discrimination (the “listening” track),
mental processing speed (the “speed” track) or all of
these combined (the “challenge” track). The use of these
training tracks allows the therapist to access thousands
of training stages within each individual program and
to add significant depth to the therapy.
The SPEED TRACK requires that the user answer the questions
quickly before the time is up.
In the PATIENCE TRACK, the user has to wait patiently
before giving his answer without moving the mouse while
a traffic light turns from red to yellow to green, even
if the computer changes its mind in the middle of the
instructions! If he moves the mouse before the traffic
light turns green, the computer gently chides him, then
gives the instruction all over again!
The LISTENING TRACK incorporates elements that make
it challenging to discriminate sounds and to help improve
auditory discrimination.
The CHALLENGE TRACK combines all of these tracks, requiring
the user to listen extra-carefully, wait patiently before
answering, then move quickly to answer before the time
is up!

Program
Descriptions
SoundSmart™
consists of the following modules:
SoundSmart
Auditory Attention Coach provides drill and practice
in following spoken instructions which gradually become
more and more complex. With the additional tracks, the
program can be used to help shape behavioral self-control
as well as listening skills. It may also be used as an
entertaining alphabet training game for children. The
Attention Coach is a favorite with psychologists and special
educators working with ADHD individuals to improve self-control
and to develop the ability to maintain their attention
through multi-step spoken instructions. Available in beginner
(age 4+), intermediate (6+), and advanced levels(8+).
SoundSmart
Math and Memory Coach (Levels A, 1-4) When used
by a child, each level of this set of programs addresses
the corresponding grade level of the elementary school
math curriculum, grades K through 4. Adult users are presented
with more challenging problems. The program helps develop
working memory, mental math skills, and number concepts.
With the addition of behavioral tracks, the Math and Memory
Coach may be used to provide drill and practice in math
skills, at the same time improving speed, self-control,
patience, or auditory processing. The Math and Memory
Coach is a wonderful way to help improve working memory
in adults. It is also an ideal tool for math teachers
to drill basic mental math skills and improve processing
speed and listening skills.
Sound
Discrimination Coach improves listening skills
in people with language and reading problems by computerized
time-tested, traditional methods used by speech language
professionals to improve phonemic awareness. The program
challenges the user with distractions, distortions in
speech, background sounds, and changes in pitch in order
to train him or her to listen well under all types of
conditions. The Sound Discrimination Coach is an ideal
phonemic awareness training tool for speech language professionals
or reading specialists. Available in beginner (age 6+),
intermediate (8+), and advanced (10+) levels.
What
people are saying about SoundSmart...
“I was constantly
getting frustrated with my 7-year-old daughter because she
never seemed to listen to me. I would find myself shouting
at her to get her attention. Her teacher reported similar
problems in school. She had had ear infections when she was
younger, and I worried about her hearing, but a hearing test
showed that this was OK. After only twenty sessions of intensive
training with the SoundSmart Auditory Attention Coach, her
problem completely disappeared. The next year in school, she
won a prize for being the best listener in the third grade!”
A Mother
“To my own surprise,
I have been finding these unique programs to be an invaluable
tool for use with my adult neurological patients! They enjoy
the Bingo game format, and the exercises are helping them
to regain functionality.”
