Document Summary

Functional auditory performance indicator: an integrated approach to auditory skill. Development (fapi; stredler-brown & johnson, 2004: assesses 7 auditory skill levels, skills with each level range from easy to difficult, assists in goal development.

Sound detection/awareness sound discrimination identification . What are some behavioural signs that may indicate a child has detected sound: localization. Searching for sound source: selective attention. Learns to separate one sound from co-occurring sounds: sustained attention. E. g. , hit piano keys softly/loudly and ask child if soft/loud. Segmentals: phonemes, phoneme patterns, e. g. , discriminate vowels that differ in first formant information (meat/mat) 1: e. g. , identify words with different vowels (beet, boot, bat, bet, e. g. , discriminate voiceless consonants that differ by place (pea, tea, key) Label auditory stimuli: repeating, pointing, writing.
