The program is customized for each student's needs. As students become successful at each level, they are automatically advanced to a higher level, to continue improving their skills.
HearBuilder is research and evidence based. The targeted areas were selected based on research that identified these skills as essential for students to be successful in school. In pilot studies, public school students using HearBuilder have obtained significant improvement in auditory skills by using the program 2 or 3 times per week for at least 8 weeks.
