Audiblox is a unique developmental program, aimed at the inculcation of basic skills, which are necessary for school entry, for sustained achievement at school, and to overcome learning disabilities. It develops and automates the foundational skills of reading, spelling, writing, mathematics and the skills required in the learning of subject matter.

A foundational skill is not the same as a process, strategy or technique. The difference between these can be explained by using the game of soccer as example. In order to be a soccer player, a person first has to master the foundational skills, e.g. heading and dribbling the ball. Only after that can he be taught strategies or techniques.

Some of the most important foundational skills include:

• The skill of concentration
• Accurate perception
• Visual discrimination of foreground-background
• Visual discrimination of form
• Visual discrimination of size
• Visual discrimination of position in space
• Visual discrimination of colour
• Visual analysis of position in space
• Auditory discrimination of foreground-background
• Auditory discrimination of position in time and space
• Auditory discrimination of colour
• Auditory analysis of position in time and space
• Auditory synthesis of position in time and space
• Visual discrimination of dimensionality
• Decoding and integration of information
• Visual closure
• Imagination
• Visual memory of forms
• Visual memory of sequence
• Auditory memory
• Short-term memory
• Long-term memory
• Concept of numbers
• Reasoning
• Logical thinking
• Fine motor coordination
• Gross motor coordination
• Sensory motor integration

Probably the most conspicuous feature of the program is its almost unlimited adaptability. It offers astounding possibilities of develop­ment to both the gifted and less gifted child.

To the high school student it can be of very great value, as it develops memory (both visual and auditory) and concentration to a very high degree, while it can also be used for the preschool child from as early as three years of age. Audiblox is an excellent program for the purpose of preparing the preschool child and the school beginner for reading and learning.

Audiblox is indispensable in the remedial education program. In all cases of reading and spelling problems, astounding results can be obtained through regular and continued use of Audiblox. Even children who are seriously dyslexic can be helped to overcome this problem completely.

Improvements of as high as 40% in school achievement have already been obtained through the use of Audiblox.

Audiblox can be used individually as well as in a group. It can be used by any parent at home, in schools for beginner classes, remedial classes, and special education classes, as well as for preschools.
