As you can tell by the presentation Mouthabet has a long way to go to be in its final stage, for now the functioning prototype is working effectively and generating traffic.
I would like to further breakdown this product for your under standing, the main features include:
- Supports language & literacy programs used by Speech-Language Pathologists and Teacher Photos emphasise speech sound production which involves lips, tongue, teeth, air expulsion, voicing and nasality
- Clear, various sized colour photos suitable for classroom, small group, and clinical use
- N.S.W Foundation Font used
- Colour Coding used
- Multisensory approach
It is important to note that these products are intended to assist people with the correct training in these areas.
The intended outcomes for using these cards to compliment the learning process include:
- Associate strongly between hearing and feeling (mouth, tongue, teeth, lips voice box, air expulsion).
- Draw ‘meaning links’ around sounds – to assist with storage and retrieval. (Quirky phrases!)
- Group sounds together according to a formation characteristic.
- Read the letter shapes for these sounds.
- Recall these sounds automatically (quickly and accurately).
- Discriminate between consonants and vowels.
- Segment words into sounds.
