Welcome!
Autism is recognized as a “spectrum” of disorders, where the common denominator is a deficit in social relatedness that acts to impair a child’s ability to communicate and learn. Each year 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism, with almost 1.5 million cases in the United States alone. It is the nation’s fastest growing developmental disorder with a 10%-17% annual growth rate. This year, more children will be diagnosed with autism than with AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined. Yet little is known of its origins or how to effectively treat the condition.
Sounds into Syllables® is a multi sensory music based teaching system for children with autism. It is designed to assist them with their communication and social development difficulties by teaching them to spell, read, classify words, create simple sentences and identify the facial expressions for a series of universally recognized emotions.
It is comprised of 3 parts which are progressive in nature. Parts 1 and 2 emphasize reading and spelling while Part 3 introduces word classification, simple sentence construction and emotion recognition and identification.
