PLAY Tip
Language Comprehension with Switch Adapted Boom Boxes
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.
