?? Did you know developing auditory tasks like association, discrimination, and memory can transform speech and listening abilities? For example: - Link sounds to meanings with fun activities like matching the sound of a doorbell to the idea of someone arriving. - Practice identifying similar or different sounds, like distinguishing between "cat" and "hat." These small steps build big skills in communication and confidence! Learn more about enhancing these skills for children who are deaf or hard of hearing in this two-part series!
