Word byr Word team presented a development project aimed to help acoustically challenged children. The project bases on the use of musical instrument and special sound tools and toys used in surdopedagogy. At the beginning, it teaches to perceive sounds that will help the kids benefit from the hearing kit more effectively and understand human speech. The project first of all seeks to assist children from socially vulnerable families.
