Auditory Training - Spice for Life

Speech-language pathologists, teachers and families can help students improve auditory memory, identify environmental sounds, improve music skills, and identify emotions and stress in words with the SPICE for Life app. A supplement to CID’s SPICE for Life auditory learning curriculum, this app collects data for each skill while the child and adult are engaged in motivating activities. Users can hear 209 sounds for animals, transportation, musical instruments, school, home and the park, the phone and computer. Background noise options are available for working on additional activities in natural environments. Work with up to three children at varying levels for each skill and email the results for reporting and communication purposes.
