T
he development of language, communication and
literacy is at the heart of human development.
The acquisition of language skills in early childhood
development and the growth and retention of those skills
over a lifetime, serve as the barometer for diagnosis in
addressing variances of ability and use. Moreover, these
skills serve as a critical value in providing tangible proof
of perceptual cognitive performance, action and behavior.
The purpose of this project was to investigate the use of
Audio Psycho Phonology (APP) as a foundational tool for
individuals with learning challenges. A literature review
was conducted in determining the viability of APP as an
effective intervention for those with cognition and learning
difficulties. Results indicate moderate success, albeit,
variable in diverse cases. Further, a discussion on a relevant
case study will be presented.
