Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Has anyone used this to help articulation? I know that it is designed more for auditory processing and phonemic awareness. However, when we did Fast ForWord, I really believe it helped my child's articulation. I am considering purchasing Earobics Step 2 -- if anyone has used this, please let me know what you think.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 My son got over his speech issues before he got over the motor planning issues regarding the computer. (He's still not good with the mouse, but he is only 5-1/2.) My sister thinks it's an excellent program, and has done it with both of her children. One has APD and one is officially " language-based learning disorder " , with some spectrum characteristics. Here's one interesting tidbit: when we were at NACD, I asked about doing Earobics over the summer. Our consultant felt that the proper order of things is: The Listening Program (or Tomatis or center based listening therapy, depending on kid), followed by FastForward if necessary, followed by Earobics if necessary. My nieces did Earobics first. Oh, well. One might infer that anything that helps your auditory processing should help your articulation, right? Plus, Earobics is cheap compared to most programs out there, so the financial risk is certainly minimal. in NJ > > Has anyone's child used Earobics?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Our OT had a similar opinion as NACD and said that earaerobics and tomatis were for older kids...too intense not just for but the little ones in general. > > > > Has anyone's child used Earobics?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Our ST tried it with my daughter... She just was not able to progress with it, so she is letting it sit for awhile, I am assuming... She had said that she would use it with her everytime they saw eachother, but my daughter was getting so frustrated with it, that she dropped it... I am not sure if she plans on using it with her in the future, or not... I had been excited to use it, but it just was not a good fit (at this time) with my daughter. I am planning on buying it, myself, to help with her Auditory processing issues during the summer ... Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
