The present invention relates to systems and methods for enhancing the holistic and temporal speech perception processes of a learning-impaired subject. A subject listens to a sound stimulus which induces the perception of verbal transformations. The subject records the verbal transformations which are then used to create further sound stimuli in the form of semantic-like phrases and an imaginary story. Exposure to the sound stimuli enhances holistic speech perception of the subject with cross-modal benefits to speech production, reading and writing. The present invention has application to a wide range of impairments including, Specific Language Impairment, language learning disabilities, dyslexia, autism, dementia and Alzheimer's.
