Sound Jigsaw – A Speech Perception Training Kit for Cantonese-speaking Children with Hearing Impairment

The training kit is designed for parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children, speech therapists and deaf educators to provide deaf and hard-of hearing children with appropriate speech perception training. It contains: five stages of training arranged from the elementary to the profound so that users could choose training items and activities which are suitable to children’s levels; approximately 100 training activities with child-friendly instructions and chromatic pictures; informal speech perception evaluation to help users estimate children’s initial stages and the progresses they have made; strategies that could smooth the training procedures and help children to accomplish the training; and cue cards of recovery strategies aiming at providing children with better skills in extracting discourse information. The training kit consists of four volumes, each with a training manual and a picture album.
