Localizing Sounds
“Where Is That Noise Coming From?”
Children often search for a sound source as his interest in the sound presented increases. Reactions become apparent when your child turns his head, inhibits body movements, or searches for the sound source.

-
Encourage
your child to orient to sounds by turning, looking, reaching, or moving in the
direction of the sound stimulus.
Place
your child on your lap or in front of you so that you are face to face.
Vocalize
while moving to the right, to the left and then back to the middle.
Guide
your child’s head to follow your voice and other sounds presented.
Present
sounds out of your child’s field of vision.
Bring
the sound back into your child’s sight and then change the location of the
sound.
