Audio Address Book:
Create a list of names of friends and family in large print. Make recordings for each name including address, phone number and other pertinent information. The number of the message corresponds to the number of the name on the list.
Audio Labeling for Medications:
If the writing on prescription and over the counter medicines is too small to read, create an audio recording of each medicine and write the number of the recording on the bottle. Bring Sounds Easy to your appointment and get the doctor's comments directly.
Ordering at a Restaurant:
Make audio recordings to help a non verbal person order independently at a restaurant. Create cue cards showing the restaurant or food to be ordered and the number of the recording.
Audio directions for tasks and procedures: Make recording a recording for each step involved in accomplishing the task. Create a cue card for each task with a word of photo describing the task and the numbers of the recordings for the steps.
Help someone express emotion and share a story: Make a recording to help a non-verbal person express their emotions or tell a story. Connect the recording to a photograph or object by adding the number of the recording.
Create audio books for children: Make recordings for each page of a children’s picture book. Add the number of the recording to the page.
If handwriting is difficult, use Sounds Easy to make "audio" notes. Dedicate a Memories Card for note taking. For example, use messages 1-10 for notes about your phone calls, 11-20 for your “to-do” list, and messages 21-30 for a shopping list. Scroll through your notes by pressing PLAY while listening to a recording.
Sounds Easy lets a non-verbal student give an oral presentation to the class. Work with the student to develop a script to go along with the visual presentation. Then, make the recordings. If possible, have a classmate make the recordings. During the presentation, the student presses PLAY and the number of the recording associated with each visual to share the project with the class.
