Sound SmartTM

Individuals of all ages with cognitive deficits due to brain injury, auditory processing disorders, ADHD, learning disabilities, or developmental disabilities will enjoy and benefit from our new, talking Cognitive Training Software to help improve...

Working Memory Listening Skills
Phonemic Awareness Self-control
Following Directions Mental Processing Speed

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.”
