Mason’s Case Report: The boy who knew he needed to listen The Listening Program® (TLP) often brings exciting and unexpected results in addition to the improvements hoped for. Mason first used TLP in first grade. In just ten… Tags Brain, case study, reading, speech, The Listening Program Read more
Part 6: TAVS Assessment Series- Sound Localization, Where Am I? Many children and adults with auditory processing problems find it really difficult to be able to listen when there is any background noise in the environment. This… Tags assessment, Brain, lateralization, listening, reading, sound localization, stress, TAVS, test of auditory and visual skills Read more
Part 5: TAVS Assessment Series- Temporal Processing, Duration and Pitch Pattern Temporal processing is our perception of time for auditory signals reaching the brain. Clearly, within speech, music and other sound, ordering and processing the time element of… Tags assessment, attention, Brain, listening, reading, speech, TAVS, temporal processing, test of auditory and visual skills Read more
Part 4: TAVS Assessment Series- Pitch Discrimination We often do not fully recognize the importance of pitch perception.
