Helping your child to reach their potential

Goal: Auditory Processing Strategies


Auditory processing is what our brains do with what we hear. Some children have difficulty
processing the sounds that their ears hear. Sometimes this difficulty is not consistent and on some
occasions these children may have no processing difficulties, but on other days may struggle to
process a simple message. Without help to manage their processing difficulties they may become
disconnected from the world and the people around them.
Children who find it difficult to process auditory information may benefit from the following strategies.

GENERAL STRATEGIES

Reduce background noise and reverberation.


Get child's attention before giving instructions.
Have your child look at you when you're speaking.
Repeat or rephrase information to your child
Have the child paraphrase directions
Ask your child to repeat the directions back to you and to keep
repeating them aloud (to you or to himself or herself) until the
directions are completed.
Pre-teach new vocabulary/concepts
Speak at a slightly slower rate and at a mildly increased volume.
Allow extra time for the child to respond to questions.
Pause often to allow the child to catch-up.
Use visual aids.
Use visual and tactile cues whenever possible
Use short simple verbal information
Write down instructions
Use lists
Teach note-taking
If you move around in the room, allow the child to move to a seat near to where you are.
Play games that require auditory inputs, such as Guess Who? and Guess Where?
Play other games such as: charades, hangman, and scavenger hunts

SCHOOL SPECIFIC STRATEGIES

Sit the child close to the teacher in a quieter area of the room with minimal distractions
Allow the child to have notes from the teacher or another student
Pre-teach important new information
Combine oral teaching with visual aids
Ask that teachers and others make it physically, visually or audibly clear when they are about to
begin something important so that nothing is missed
Assign the child a note-taking buddy who will make sure that information was understood
Ask the child to repeat back information or instructions to build comprehension skills and make
sure messages are understood correctly.

TIPS

Decide which strategies to try by observing your child and identifying the ways in which he/she
learns best

Limit yourself to 1-3 strategies to try first

It may take several attempts to see positive results from one strategy. Dont give up too soon!

If the first few strategies you try do not improve the childs skills, try others
