Product Description:
Tiger's Tale offers a high-interest open-ended environment in with to elicit, record, and playback a
child's speech. Students will enjoy recording their voices to create their own movies. When they're finished, they can play back their movies and hear themselves speaking for Tiger..
Engaging conversations:
The opening scene introduces a tiger who has lost his voice and needs help looking for it. During Tiger's quest, a variety of animated characters appear and ask students questions to elicit their thoughts, suggestions, or opinions. Conversations are developed using the child's voice along with other pre-recorded voices.
Develops narrative abilities:
At the beginning of the program, the user decides whether the movie will have 5, 10, or 14 scenes. The
movies with 5 scenes offer simple dialogues, whereas the movies with10 and 14 scenes present more complex questions, tasks, and discourse.
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.
