Sound Scouts

Observing behaviour may not reveal if a child is not hearing you, or if they are hearing you but not processing what you are saying. Auditory processing/ listening difficulties in noise can be misdiagnosed so it's important to test with the right tools. Sound Scouts can help!

Thank you everyone for your support over the past year 🙌 We hope you enjoy a relaxing and fun festive season!

Sound Scouts is great to have in your assessment toolkit, even if it's used purely to discount a hearing loss like Danielle. Learn more about screening with Sound Scouts here buff.ly/3oTxti9 #teachers #audiology #kidshealth #speechpathology #ScreenwithSoundScouts
