Hear Yourself Back Into Your Headphones...
 With
the addition of a microphone, the listener can speak and hear his/her own
voice back through the headphones. This is a very important phase in
retraining the ears. Audio-Vocal training uses the power of one's own voice
to improve language, learning, communication and thinking skills. This
"active" phase of the program uses structured and
sequenced "listen and repeat" lessons. These lessons
follow the developmental sequence of sound frequencies for
language acquisition. The focus of this phase is verbal input
and output and voice play. The listener is introduced and guided
to experience new listening and speaking behaviors.
For non-verbal clients, we just want to capture their
voice or their babbling or whatever comes out! It's a stimulus for their ear
to keep producing language. So even if your child isn't quite verbal yet,
the audio-vocal phase is still for you. For clients
who are able, "listen and repeat exercises" as well as "rehearsed reading" provides experience
to establish new reading habits and patterns that will increase
reading rate, accuracy and comprehension. Oral reading is
practiced to reinforce new reading and language skills.
Do you or your child have a monotone? Learn how to work on
intonation, expression and perfect your presentation voice. Read now with
excitement and color. Start using those exclamation marks and question marks
and move your voice around as the reading or speech you are giving requires.
