Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book on sound localization for visually impaired children introduces the concept of using auditory channels as a tool for effective learning. The author begins by establishing the importance of sound in the educational journey of visually impaired students, emphasizing that auditory experiences can greatly contribute to their learning ability. The book is divided into four levels of learning that characterize the effective use of sound in the environment, which the author describes as awareness, interpretation, localization, and conversion. Activities are included in each of these sections that aim to enhance localization skills. The author also stresses that localization skills are developmental in nature and accuracy requires practice. They recommend the use of a highly controllable sound source, such as the Portable Audible Goal Locator (PAGL), to alleviate problems associated with awareness and identification, allowing the student to focus on developing sound localization skills. The games and activities outlined in this book are not only designed to enhance sound localization skills but also to introduce an element of competition and provide opportunities for social interaction.
