Re: speech devices

[Guest guest]

A couple of years ago my son got a small square recording device with his

kids meal at Burger King that looks like Sponge Bob and it's still working

today. It's a really cool little gizmo that is similar to a GoTalk Button. It

will record sound up to 10 seconds long, and has a play back button. My son

loves to play with it so the day it finally stops working I'm going to order a

GoTalk button, which retails for $12 on the Internet. My son is highly verbal

but I wanted him to pretend play more so I bought him a couple of toy Echo

Mics. They are made out of plastic and don't require batteries. I ordered them

from a web site I have saved on my computer at work so I don't have the URL on

my home computer but I can post it on Monday. With shipping the cost for 2

was between $10 - $12. I just searched for them on the Internet and only saw

them on Ebay but I know there are toy companies that sell them too. My son

will stand in front of the mirror sing, talk and act silly using the mic. This

is a description of them:

This microphone echos the sounds and words produced by children using it. A

great educational toy... fantastic for kids with speech disorders. Fun for

everyone. Does NOT require batteries. Jump start your child's singing career

with this fun toy. Perfect for kids' parties. Echo Mic is exactly 7.5 inches

long. For ages 3 and up.

for my non-verbal son. He has a great

receptive language and can sight read. I would appreciate any

recommendation. Is there someone specialized in showcasing the different

devices and outlines the difference, say a dealer for example. I am sure

the public school has such a service but since my son is not enrolled, we

don't get any advice from the school.

Thanks,
