Interactive Light Reacts to Voice
It also reacts to touch and music. With this interactive light anyone gets instant visual feedback on sounds and movement they have created. It can become a game to make a sound, see what happens when the sounds are longer for breath control or when a certain letter sound is made.


Several of our speech therapists have used the basketball hovertoy like this one but when I saw the animal hoverheads they looked like fun. The eyes hover when the child blows air into the animals "neck". Choose from a T-Rex, Frog and Gator. The object for Corey was to either sustain as long of a breath as he could and/or to watch the ball for eye tracking exercises.

Bubble Gum Kit
Make your own bubble gum and have fun chewing almost 1/2 pound of it.
Chewing gum will actually make Corey cry and it goes flat in his mouth. For some this is fun and for others it is therapy.

Check out the Music section also for instruments using the mouth.

Voice Transformer
One of our speech therapist brought this to the house one time. It was great fun and helped motivate Corey to make sounds and words. Click on the picture to access more product information and ordering.

This make-your-own instrument has been great fun for both my kids from ages 3-8 and the product says to age 99. They enjoy building all different looking instruments and hear how they sound. It works on fine motor, motor planning and speech with breath control and mouth muscles.
