Speech Language Therapy: Controlling Vocalizations
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
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!

PLAY Tip
Another fun game to play at home with a PhysioBall
To encourage a child to reach across the midline (reach past the center of their body) try seating them on a physiotherapy ball in the kitchen and ask them to pick large magnetic shapes off of the refrigerator with the far-side hand.
