HUSHH-UPS® - Parents
Your children spend the better part of 12-14
years of their lives in a classroom. The process of learning is a long and
often difficult task. We all want to make this process as easy and as
rewarding for our children as possible.
Attention - the ability to focus and concentrate – is an important component
in effective learning. This skill is influenced by many factors. One key
factor is noise within the classroom. The sound created by chairs scraping
on uncarpeted
floors is a major source of distraction. The level of this noise is louder
than the teacher’s voice. Many studies have confirmed that children have a
more difficult time listening and learning when a high level of background
noise is present.
Children who may have additional challenges to learning such as students
with central auditory processing problems, hearing impairments, behavioural
and attentional problems, speech and language disorders, learning
disabilities, English as a second language, PDD-Autism or developmental
delays have an even more difficult job coping within noisy environments.
In a classroom outfitted with
Hushh-ups® the chair noise drops to a barely
audible level. The difference is dramatic. The environment is much quieter
and conducive to more effective learning. It makes school life easier and
more productive for the children and their teachers.
