PLAY Tip
Speech Language Therapy: Controlling Vocalizations
Children who have had trach tubes or who have trouble controlling vocalization can practice making louder and softer sounds - and be rewarded for it! Just add one of the fun switch adapted toys, and watch your child work hard for the playful payoff. You can adjust the Voice Activated Switch to pick the exact activation sound desired. Specialized software such as the Visual Voice Tools help too!
