Yes, it is based on literature and theory-based knowledge of auditory processing disorders. Additionally A study involving 54 preschool through fifth grade students in Clark County School District (Las Vegas, NV) found students achieved statistically significant gains in their abilities to follow oral directions after using HearBuilder® Following Directions.

Yes, HearBuilder® Following Directions has been awarded The National Parenting Center's 2010 Seal of Approval , the Teachers' Choice Award, and the Family Choice Award.

If you are using the Professional Edition, you may change a child's settings at any time. If you have a Home Edition, you cannot change the settings after beginning the program. To change settings on the Home Edition, you have to delete the child from the program and enter him/her as a new player.

We recommend using HearBuilder® Following Directions 15-20 minutes each day until your child completes the program. However, you can choose the length and frequency of use that works best for your child.

HearBuilder® Following Directions runs almost completely from your CD-ROM drive. The program only stores student information on your hard drive. Students using the program should play on the same computer each time in order to store data from session to session.

There could be two reasons why this is occurring:

1. Your students are NOT playing on the same computer every day. Super Duper Software saves the student’s data to the computer’s hard drive. The student must use the same computer in order to track and store data over time.
2. Your computer may erase the data stored in some folders nightly or weekly. Change your settings so that your computer does not erase your Flash Shared Objects Folder. Contact your system administrator for further assistance.

Yes, you can use the program on several different computers. Please remember that running the program requires that the CD-ROM be in the CD or DVD drive on the computer; thus, you will not be able to run the program on several different computers at the same time if you have only one disk. Also, remember that each child's data files are stored on the hard drive of the computer. The child's data will not appear if he/she uses a different computer. If you need multiple CDs, volume discounts are available. Click here for more information.

It will work with Windows® computers that run Windows XP, Vista, 2000 and Windows 7 and Macintosh® computers that run OSX.

Before removing a CD-ROM from its case, release the CD by pushing the button in the center of the disk.

All of Super Duper's CD-ROMs come with step-by-step instructions for running a CD-ROM on Windows and Mac computers. Instructions are usually on the inside back cover of a book, or if the CD comes in a case, in the booklet inside the CD-ROM case.

All of Super Duper's CD-ROMs include system requirements. Click here for specific computer requirements.

No. Super Duper's CD-ROMs are not for use over a network. Since the hard drive saves each student's data, the student begins play on one particular computer and continues to play on the same computer throughout the program. This allows a continuous collection of student data in order to gain the most benefit from the Student Reports.

Yes. If you are planning for more than one student at a time to use the program, you will need a CD for each computer. The data collects on each computer's hard drive, and the computer needs the CD to run the program.

No. The hard drive stores the student's information, meaning the student must play on the same computer for every session for you to access previous sessions and data.

Make sure that the computer is not set on "Mute." If you are using headphones, unplug them and see if sound is coming from the computer. If so, your headphones may not be functioning properly.

If you find that your computer is not set on "Mute" and the headphones are working properly (and you still do not have sound), try closing the CD and restarting the application. Please call or email Super Duper for technical help if all these steps fail to provide sound.
