AB  - When navigating the environment, we primarily rely on sight. However, in its absence, individuals must develop precise spatial awareness using other senses. A blind person can recognize their immediate surroundings through touch, but assessing larger spaces requires auditory perception. This project presents a method for auditory training in children with visual disabilities through structured audio plays designed to teach spatial pronouns and enhance spatial orientation via auditory stimuli. The format and structure of these audio plays allow for both guided learning with a mentor and independent exploration. Binaural recordings serve as the core component of the training exercises. The developed audio plays and their analyses are available on the YouTube platform in the form of videos and interactive exercises. The next step of this project involves developing an application that enables students to create individual accounts and track their progress. Responses collected during exercises will help assess the impact of the audio plays on students, facilitating improvements and modifications to the training materials. Additionally, linking vision-related questions with responses to auditory exercises will, over time, provide insights into the correlation between these senses. The application can serve multiple purposes: collecting research data, offering spatial recognition and auditory perception training, and creating a comprehensive, structured environment for auditory skill development.
