Auditory Comprehension: A Focus on Directions and Comprehension

 A 400-item therapy resource by Landria Seals Green, CCC-SLP, BCBA

Give your clients the structured, systematic practice they need to follow spoken directions — from identifying a single red bear to executing conditional, multi-step directions with negation, temporal reordering, and prepositions.

This comprehensive protocol uses colored counting bears (red, orange, yellow, green, blue) in three sizes (small, medium, big) to target auditory comprehension across 10 progressive levels:

• Level 1 — Basic identification (touch, pick up)
• Level 1A — Expanded action verbs (touch, pick up, point, show)
• Level 1B — Find + prepositions (on, under, next to)
• Level 1C — Find, put, pick up by color
• Level 2 — Positional and sequential concepts (first, second, third, last, middle, between, next to)
• Level 2A — Sizes (small, medium, big)
• Level 2B — Positions + sizes + action verbs
• Level 2C — Two-step “and” directions
• Level 2D — Two-step “or” directions
• Level 3 — Conditional, temporal, multi-step, negation, and prepositions

What’s included:

• 400 ready-to-use directions (40 per level) in a clean 4-column reference format: #, Direction, Stimulus Array, Target Response
• A full concept-teaching card deck (34 pages, landscape) with visual aids for every skill — action verbs, prepositions, temporal terms, conjunctions, sizes, and positions
• Target skills breakdown for each level
• Administration guidance and mastery notes

Perfect for:

• Pediatric language therapy
• Cognitive-linguistic rehabilitation
• Early intervention and preschool language
• Anyone working on following directions, working memory, or auditory processing

Built on a dual SLP-BCBA perspective, this resource is designed to grow with your client — with enough variety to progress without rewriting your session plan every week.
