Spotlight Testimonials

My students and I LOVE the program. I am going on my third year using Hearbuilder, and it is for sure the number one thing on my budget yearly. It is such a great, motivating program.

Easy to use. Many activities to target many goals. My students enjoy it.

I have rarely purchased a product that had such a wide range of uses, AND would allow all of the data tracking I need for writing IEP’s. This is a fantastic value for the money. I didn’t expect to get ALL of the HearBuilder programs in the $99 subscription. And when I had a little bit of difficulty signing in, the tech. support (Nate) was fabulous. Great communication and support until we got it to work. THANK YOU FOR THIS PRODUCT!

I am itinerant going between 5 school sites. This answered my need with kids at different schools both needing the same programs and to use as an intervention tools to help kids learn to focus on what they are hearing.

I have really enjoyed using this app. My little guy is engaged and asks to do “levels” daily. His rhyme and elision abilities have increased, and he’s motivated to gain more band members! I’m using the auditory memory games, as well, and am seeing improvements there. I have been very happy with this purchase and the results. It plays like a game, but delivers results that are increasing academic abilities for narrative and reading skills. I’ve recommended the app to SLP friends and hope to see it in place for struggling readers or even as a first tier intervention for kindergarten students.

We have found Hearbuilder is fantastic, our students are loving the activities and are engaged. We have various students on it for different reasons and they are all showing progress. We had a representative from hearing Australia recommend it to us and it has been great. Our students work on the program independently and with support and the structure has really helped in supporting their learning.

We currently don’t have a lot of students on it because most of our patients speak Spanish. We would love to have a Spanish version or even collaborate to help create one. It’s the most cost effective program I have found though for our English speaking patients with auditory processing, phonological awareness, and dyslexia difficulties because parents can actually have their kids do it in between therapy sessions with minimal parent training and the goals are set up for the child to always feel successful. Kids love it and actually do it. We have had significant success for auditory processing when pairing it with the Listening Program from ABT. I had one 8 year old who could not read and was in a self contained special ed class. After one semester of using these programs together, he was put into general education for the first time ever and he began to read. I have the professional CDs for use in our clinic, but got the subscription to improve effectiveness by adding to the home exercise program. Most of our patients have Medicaid and are low income so they wouldn’t be able to afford HB on their own. It’s a small investment in our end to improve our outcomes and quality of services which improves word of mouth referrals (good for kids and for business as the new referrals more than pay for it). Again I just really wish their was a Spanish option as 80% of our younger patients speak Spanish here in Texas. I really hope others can benefit and access HB. It’s really important to address these issues early and unfortunately the special ed referral process tends to delay timely and individualized intervention. This is an affordable solution for both schools, clinics, and at home. I have tried to encourage some of the school districts we work with to purchase it as I think it can even benefit children without learning disabilities and I will start my own neurotypical child on HB once he starts learning English next year in PreK (we only speak Spanish at home), but often as you probably know, it’s hard to get schools to listen and spend money. Great product!

My son was struggling on keeping up in his kindergarten class. His teacher said he needed support in following complex commands, phonological awareness and verbally sequencing. I began looking into tutoring options and different apps. I found HearBuilder and it was exactly what he needed. He loves doing it and is making great progress! There are so many different options that he is never bored!

My students and I have fallen in love with HearBuilder. It keeps the students engaged and records their progress at the same time. We have practiced these skills a hundred times, but now I am seeing true progress.

I have been using HearBuilder with some of the mainstream Deaf children that I teach as a motivational tool to practise listening and auditory memory skills. All of the students ranging in age from 5- 12 are very motivated by the app and enthusiastically engage with the material.
