Both children and adults will appreciate the game format options for practice. One drawback is that target sounds do not come with the program and need to be entered by the teacher. This is a potentially highly time-consuming operation. Still, the wide variety of exercise types and reinforcement activities may make it worth the effort for institutions with a large number of students who could use this program. Comes with special digitizing hardware that plugs into the computer and a microphone.
Price includes free upgrades.
