Can You Find the Sound?

Practice the usage of sound localization within orientation and mobility skills.

This activity has been revised and was originally created by Kathy Heydt and published in the Perkins Activity and Resource Guide (1st edition, Volume 2,  1992).  The second edition is available for purchase.

A consistent sound in the environment can give helpful information for the student navigating with low or no vision. Working on sensory training in general, and auditory in particular, this activity focuses on sound localization. Lessons include Orientation and Mobility.

Materials

Timer, musical toy, digital player, radio, instructor talking, another student talking, finger snapping
