She has always struggled with following directions and we suspect that she has some type of mild auditory processing issue. This product is intended for children in the Prek-3rd grade range but I did have my 17 year old daughter start at the advanced level. Eventually, I’ll have her try the expert level which adds background noise to the activities. When she completes the whole factory, we’ll start over. I like this program for her because it is engaging and stretches her auditory memory muscles which increases her ability to process information received verbally. Yes the program is as strong as I hoped and not all the rooms were that easy for her. Did I underestimate my daughter’s abilities? Is the program not as strong as I hoped? Are all the “rooms” going to be this easy for her? Yes, I did slightly underestimate my daughter’s abilities. I was a bit concerned when Supergirl mastered and completed the “Tool Room” which focuses on basic directions. The stronger the auditory memory, the easier it is for the brain to process, perceive and interpret the verbal data presented. I love that Following Directions stretches those auditory memory muscles. A strong auditory memory is necessary to process the different steps in complicated directions. Closely related to the skills of following directions is auditory memory. My Thoughts: I admit that auditory processing skills are near and dear to my heart. At level one directions are similar to “If a doll is in the box, put the box on the truck.” At level 14 the directions are more like “if a green doll is in the box, put the box on the large truck if not, put the box on the small truck.”
