The Auditory Processing Game

Ages: 8-Adult
Grades: 3-Adult

This game targets six skill areas students with auditory processing deficits struggle to master. Match the difficulty level to student needs with a hierarchy of stimuli.

"What happened?" "Who did it?" "Where did it happen?" That's what students try to figure out as they complete auditory tasks correctly in this mystery-solving game.

The six, 35-card decks each target a different skill. The cards in each deck are arranged in a hierarchy. very card, with the exception of the Auditory Cohesion deck, has three stimulus items that progress in difficulty. The cards target these skill areas:

• Auditory Discrimination—identify same sounds in words, absurd words in sentences, and absurd sentences in paragraphs
• Auditory Analysis/Segmentation—identify the number of syllables in words and sounds in words
• Auditory Closure—fill in missing words, syllables, and sounds
• Auditory Blending/Manipulation—blend syllables and phonemes to make words; delete and exchange to make words
