TalkTime with Tucker
Appropriate for Language Development Stages late 4 - early 7. Correlated to State Standards.

TalkTime with Tucker is a voice-activated program that encourages children with speech impairments to vocalize. Talk or makes sounds into the microphone and Tucker moves and talks. Unlike voice recognition programs which require precise and accurate speech input, this program accepts a broad range of sounds and/or speech to make Tucker come alive. Almost any input is followed by an appropriate response. Also bundled with Tiger's Tale.

Five Exciting Adventures
5 activities accommodate a wide range of children at different functioning levels. During each adventure, Tucker encounters a variety of characters that do wondrous things when he talks to them.

On Stage

This activity trains cause and effect and turn-taking. As Master of Ceremonies at the Amazing Animal Show, Tucker commands a variety of animals to do silly tricks. Any sound a child makes causes an animal to perform an amusing stunt.

On the Farm

This activity encourages children to imitate animal sounds. As Tucker walks around the farm, each animal makes its sound and asks Tucker to repeat it. Then the animal gives him something special to put in his wheelbarrow.

A Walk in the Woods

This activity is designed to increase the length of a child's vocalizations. By talking into the microphone, children make things (such as a caterpillar, a bird's eggs, and tadpoles) change. The longer they vocalize, the more they'll see happen.

Fantasyland

This activity encourages children to experiment with the volume of their voices. As Tucker walks toward the castle, children can speak louder to make him fly. Along the way, mystical characters obstruct his path and ask children to say something to get by.

Let's Talk with Casey the Chameleon

Tiger's Tale
Appropriate for Language Development Stages 6 & 7. Correlated to State Standards.

This engaging program stimulates language production by encouraging students to "talk" for a Tiger who has lost his voice. Children "talk" for Tiger and their voices are recorded to create a movie. When they're finished, they can watch their movies and hear themselves speaking for Tiger. Also bundled with TalkTime with Tucker.
 
Engaging Conversations

During Tiger's search, a variety of animated characters appear and ask children questions to elicit their thoughts, suggestions, and opinions. Conversations are developed using your child's voice along with other pre-recorded voices.
screen shot of tiger's tale
Training Opportunities
Tiger's Tale is an ideal springboard for accomplishing a variety of therapeutic goals. A clinician can model a response for the child, ask the child to imitate it, decide whether the recording should be saved or not, and finally playback the child's utterance. This gives children the opportunity to use and practice a variety of language structures and functions in a motivating, yet non-threatening environment.

Non-verbal alternative
If a child is asked a question and does not record an answer, there is the option to click on one of the characters and the scene will continue. This allows a child who initially refuses to speak to interact with the program and gradually increase the number of replies he or she records for Tiger.

A Rewarding Experience

In the final scene of Tiger's Tale, students click on various objects to find Tiger's voice. Afterwards, they can watch the movie and hear their own voices speaking for Tiger. These "home" movies, which can be saved for future viewing, are not only entertaining, but also enable students to measure their progress over time.
