Language Comprehension with Switch Adapted Boom Boxes
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
To encourage language comprehension in children with special needs, try recording simple stories on tape and then let the child use his or her switch to independently activate any of the Switch Adapted Boom Boxes or Tape Decks and hear the story told to them in a familiar voice. Vary the stories with lots of music too!

PLAY Tip
Grasping and Writing
Grippers are helpful for children with developmental delays. Grippers serve two purposes. They position the fingers properly around a larger diameter then a regular pencil, and they keep a dropped pen from rolling away. Position them low on the pen/pencil to give the child better control.
