Auditory Reasoning 與 Language Empires 使用情況與統計
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.

Greetings from Language Empires! Although we are divided into many kingdoms we are united in helping all learners of language. Each empire helps you master an important element of communication. You will find the right words can often unlock many closed doors and open up even more opportunities.
Language Empires was developed by two Speech-Language Pathologists and it utilizes the ancient civilizations theme to guide you and your students on learning specific language targets. This application designed for elementary age students targets 8 goals: Answering how, why, and which questions, inferencing, vocabulary, predicting and figurative language, and sequencing.
With an eye catching interface, animations and colorful graphics, students will triumph in developing language skills in areas for success in school.

Select the players to start the game and then place each player on their target empire. Each empire targets a different skills set. Up to five players can be selected and each player can visit one or more empires at the same time. The possibilities are endless! Some empires have levels that allow for customizing the level of difficulty within each target. Each location has 50 questions for a total of 400 questions in the entire app. This is a truly comprehensive application. Each question contains an image that provides the context for the questions being asked. As the students answer the questions correctly, they earn rewards. The rewards are saved and can be accessed at any time on each student’s profile.
Data Tracking:
As with all Smarty Ears apps, Language Empire offers detailed and visual data collection. A set of graphs provides immediate visual feedback on the student’s skill level attained and progress towards mastery of their goal.
