More Fun Directions HD Lite vs Auditory Reasoning Usage & Stats
If you liked our “Fun with Directions” app, you’ll also love More Fun with Directions Lite too! This app for the iPAD continues with the same playful, colorful and engaging format with a focus on 2 concepts: “behind” and “put in”.
For a demonstration of the full version app, check out our video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zAm7HSenSQ
Put the apple behind the girl. Look for the guitar then put it in the puzzle! Find the boat then put it in the green garbage can.
More Fun with Directions is designed to provide a fun and engaging way to practice listening, following directions, colors, comparatives (larger/smaller) spatial concepts, auditory memory and auditory processing. From the simplest of directions (“Put the house in the puzzle.”) to the more complex (“Put something with windows, doors and a roof in the puzzle”) your child can grow and learn with this game over time. Colorful, vivid art and animations against a white background combine to create a complete game experience without visual clutter. Sound effects and surprises keep the game engaging! This app is a great choice for a toddler/preschooler, or any young child who would like to practice listening to or reading directions!
Features include settings for text on/off, (to practice reading vs. listening) selecting specific concepts, and the desired level of play: easy, intermediate, and advanced.
An added bonus that is included in this app is the optional “Superstar Direction” which allows additional practice for remembering (“What did you have to do?”) but also expressive language. The child’s response is recorded and played back. Superstar Directions are surprise questions that pop up at random times, but can easily be turned off if desired.

The Auditory Reasoning app was created by a certified speech and language pathologist for students, ages 6 and up with central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) or other related disorders (e.g., receptive language disorder or autism), to improve auditory processing requiring reasoning and high-level thinking. All the tasks are presented orally so the students can work solely on their auditory skills and processing.
The app’s theme is fun, colorful and cosmic. A reward system in the form of a game will motivate students to practice their auditory skills in the following activities:
-Identifying which one does not belong
-Associations
-Completing the series
-Identifying true vs. false statements
-Identifying facts vs. opinions
-Auditory resequencing
-Identifying meanings of words in context
-Analogies
-Riddles
-Paraphrasing short paragraphs
-Drawing conclusions based on short paragraphs
All of these tasks can be practiced in the presence of background noise that can be set up in the app’s settings.
The Auditory Reasoning app is easy to navigate and allows users to employ several tools to perform the following tasks:
• Enter multiple students.
• Change settings and use randomization.
• Select alternate counts for multiple students.
• Select different types of background noise.
• Track correct and incorrect responses.
• Email and print results at the end of the session.
Research is still needed in the area of central auditory processing disorder; however, most individuals will benefit from procedures that target the acoustic signal and from procedures that target language. Comprehensive evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach are important aspects of the treatment of individuals with central auditory processing disorder (ASHA 2005).
Other apps developed by Virtual Speech Center for central auditory processing disorder include Auditory Workout, Auditory Processing Studio, Auditory Memory Ride and School of Multi-Step Directions.
