The HearBuilder Auditory Memory program is an exceptionally appealing program to my students. The thought of being a secret agent is enticing and students don’t realize that they are working hard to perform the auditory memory skills required to advance from step to step. I like the feature of being able to select the levels at which my students will begin. I also appreciate the skill levels included: recalling numbers, words, details, auditory closure, and responding to wh questions about short conversational segments. The graphics are also appealing to students. Another feature that is great to have for students with auditory processing difficulties is the ability to add background noise to any of the tasks. Students can perform an activity without and then with background noise which simulates the classroom. Overall, the program is a fabulous addition to the tools I use with my students. Its a program that I know classroom teachers will also like to use with their students since auditory memory is such an important skills.

This has been a hit with my students in K-2nd grade. Immediate feedback, great graphics, quick games. Great way to change up a therapy session. Printable progress reports are wonderful for documentation.

The memory is divided well in categories. I loved the Closure activities -since we as clinicians can not possibly recreate those stimuli which you have done so well on the CD.The preferences with the noise backgtround are fabulous. I can now train my clients on figure-ground listening skills as well as on memory. This CD is chock full of activities and levels. What a great tool for auditory training.

I started using HB Auditory Memory with my students today, and it was a hit! I have been using all of the HB programs this year and have been impressed. The programs allow me to rotate students on the computer with one-to-one or small group times and make seeing large groups more manageable. I like the individualization available on the games and that there is enough of the “reward games” built into the system to motivate the students but the majority of their time is spent on the targeted skills. They love them and beg to “play.” It looks like Auditory Memory is another winner — my first-grade boys gave the spy theme two-thumbs up!

The HearBuilder Sequencing Software is the first of software series that I have purchased. I like the range of goals that it offers. Earning points towards the arcade games seems to motivate.

I love this program! Each game focuses on a different type of directive in a fun and stimulating manner. Directions can be repeated as many times as needed and there is no time limit to complete the task. The price is very affordable and my students love it!

I work with 25 preschool students and they all LOVE this program…that’s why I gave it four stars; however there is one glitch. I am disappointed that you can only retain four students records. I have to delete multiple records daily so more than 4 kids can play. Unfortunately, when I delete a record not only do I loose the students progress, but next time that student plays they have to start over. I have only had this interactive CD for a few weeks, so perhaps there is a way to change the setup to add more students??? Other than that, the program is bright and colorful and provides reinforcing visuals.

The kids that I have used this with absolutely love it! It’s a good way to give children a break from structured work, while still supporting the goals that we are working on.

My students are excited to make toys on the computer. They like it better than the worksheets that I used to use. I like the goals and objectives I can print. I also like that I can print out reports to take to parent/teacher or IEP meetings.

I have used this so far on clients aged 4 to 11, and they enjoy it very much! I love the rewarding games in between levels and the record of progress. The only complaint I have is that some of the voicing is a little too slow, which is great for some kids, but actual speakers would give directions a little quicker. However, I am very happy with my purchase!
