The first step in bringing your child to spoken language through audition is to teach him that there is sound. He needs to be able to monitor his environment and notice when there is a sound. This is the first step on your journey, and the most important. Right now, your child may not be aware that there is sound around him all day. Let’s begin by teaching him to listen. Please stay within one metre of your child when doing all the games this week. Also, your home should be quiet during all activities so it’s best to turn off the TV, the radio, the stereo, air conditioning, etc.
