My son purposely chose the wrong answer with Earobics so he could hear the silly

sound the program made ;-(. We did not get very far with it.

Robyn…how old is your son and approximately what age level is he at for

speech?

Robyn, thank you for this recommendation! Dr. G recommended " Rosetta Stone "

language software for , but this sounds like a more appropriate (and more

affordable!) option!

LOL! That's exactly what my kids would do - make the mistakes to focus on

something other than what they *should* be doing.  Little monsters.

Hi, Kristy.

Noah is 10. His expressive speech is still severely delayed; I would say about 4

to 5 years of age. His receptive is near typical. We tried Earobics too, but he

didn't really like it.

All the best,

Robyn

Hey, Donna.

We also bought Immersion in English if you want to try it for . I didn't

get too far before I realized that it was too much for Noah. If you want, come

on over and check out Hooked on English before you buy it.

Take care,

Robyn
