Audiblox

So as I was looking for something interesting to post about, I stumbled upon success stories about something called Audiblox.  Intrigued, I had to do some more research to figure out what it is and what it does.  I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with this, but Audiblox is a system of cognitive exercises, aimed to help develop foundational learning skills.  A foundational skill is different than a process, strategy, or technique, which interested me even more in what this is and how it can help individuals with dyslexia.  Audiblox is supposed to develop and automate the foundational skills of reading, writing, spelling and mathematics.  Audiblox is also multi-sensory because individuals learn in all different types of ways.  This system is said to be based on solid learning principals and there are numerous positive reviews for it.  I am not sure if it works best on younger children, or if it does not matter the age of the student, but it is definitely something to look into.  There have even been studies showing that this method works.  You can find the full article and results from studies here http://www.audiblox2000.com/improve-reading-spelling.htm and if you are interested in reading success stories from Audiblox, you can find them here http://dyslexia.learninginfo.org/overcoming.htm.  Let me know what your thoughts are on Audiblox and be prepared for a class discussion tomorrow!
