Chatter Batter - Books For Speech Therapy

Dyspraxia & Apraxia

For Children With Dyspraxia (Apraxia), reading from the computer may help them stay focused and keep them listening to sequencing of words through predictable text and repetitive phrases. The more these phrases and repetitive sentences become familiar the more fun they will have repeating them even after story time ends. This repetition encourages the brain to develop the ability to sequence. (more on brain development)

Speech Therapist/Pathologist

Schools and Speech Therapists benefit from e-books and books on CDs by creating a large library of complimentary stories to supplement speech therapy without needing a large area to store books. Books on CDs give the therapist the ability to send reinforcement reading material home for parents to use between sessions.

Parents At Home

At home, e-Books are an easy way to store and access books while Books on CDs are great for saving computer space and/or space on the book shelf. Children’s books are often messy and hard to organize, plus children seem to think they belong on the floor or in toy boxes.

Speech Articulation Delay

Articulation and Speech Delay Problems do not have a direct brain development problem, and are often easily corrected with speech therapy. Articulation delays may be avoided altogether simply by drawing attention to the correct way sounds are pronounced. Chatter Batter Books are delightfully entertaining light reading geared to teaching phoneme recognition and sound duplication in every day speech.

Autism

Autistic Children may also benefit from reading Chatter Batter stories because the autistic child needs to learn to connect emotionally with the world around them. Through the characters of the stories, children learn about relationships. By reading from the computer, they learn to cooperate with you.

Dysarthrias

For Children With Dysarthrias, or motor speech processing difficulty, can be helped through facial exercise. You can encourage exercise of the facial muscle through spontaneous reaction to the emotions of the stories and taking time to pull faces together.

NOTE TO PARENTS AND/OR CAREGIVERS

Chatter Batter e-Books and Books on CDs do not have sound with them. The idea is for the child to hear and have interaction with you, the reader.

This personalizes the story, helps them build their own imagination, and associates reading, learning, and self-worth with you.

No matter how entertaining the toy, program, or animated book, the impact of your voice, personality, and time will never be matched.

Children don't need another impersonal contact.
They need YOU.
They need to know they are worth your time and interest.

Chatter Batter e-Books or Flip Album on CDs are GREAT for children of any age.
