Nouns & Sounds

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:
The Sterling Edition of Nouns & Sounds is an engaging new program that encourages individuals to listen to and discriminate environmental sounds. Individuals learn to match common environmental sounds with 100 realistic photographs.

Fun for all ages!
Nouns & Sounds offers nine different activities to accommodate a wide range of language functioning levels. Of the 100 nouns used in the program, half are acquired by typically developing children by 21/2 years of age while the remainder are acquired later.

Optimized Intervention® Offers Improved Training!
Nouns & Sounds features Optimized Intervention® technology, our innovative assessment and training system that tailors instructional delivery to each student’s unique needs. The program constantly tracks a student’s performance and uses this information to provide highly individualized treatment. By continually making decisions about how to guide the learning process, Optimized Intervention® provides faster and more efficient training.

Flexibility and control
Using our Optimized Intervention® technology, Nouns & Sounds begins with a probe test and then progresses through the nouns and sounds pairing in a developmental order. You decide 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.
