The Test of Auditory and Visual Skills: Improving opportunities for screening auditory and visual processing The Test of Auditory and Visual Skills (TAVS) is a versatile screening tool developed to assess a range of fundamental auditory and visual skills. These basic skills… Tags TAVS, test of auditory and visual skills 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.
