Children's Spondee Boards

Now available are beautiful, hand-painted spondee boards. These highly identifiable pictures will facilitate the establishment of spondee thresholds in the pediatric audiology clinic. These colorful pictures will help secure and retain children's attention during speech threshold testing procedures. Made of lightweight, durable 17" X 22" mat board, these spondee boards come in either six or eight word formats (fire truck, airplane, ice cream, bathtub, cowboy, football, snowman, hot dog).

Look Hear™ represents the newest concept in visual reinforcement audiology (VRA) systems. Based on years of pediatric and audiology practice by Dr. Frank Musiek and staff at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, these units make it easy to condition children for quick and accurate assessment of hearing status. The beautiful original pictures gain the toddler's attention in a non-intimidating manner. On subsequent clinical visits, children look forward to seeing their animal friends.

The animal eyes light up to condition and reinforce the child's correct response. The light switch mechanism is easily controlled by the Audiologist, allowing timely reinforcement response. These colorful VRA pictures not only enhance technical skills of the examiner, but help provide a sound room environment that is comfortable and interesting to children.
