I have not worked intensively with it, but have seen it in clinical
settings
and think it is great. Try to get in touch with a speech pathology
department of a hospital rehab setting to see if they have it. Otherwise,
get in touch with me privately and I can forward info on it. You sound like
a great mom!

Joan, very interested in IBM's Speech viewer. Have
you used
it?
Issue: My 20 son (w/down syndrom) wants to sing
(wants to
sing a whole
bunch!!!) but, he does not understand and sings
everythin in
one tone. I
have tried to explain/demonstrate to him, but to not
avail.
I am wondering
if he could actually see how his voice "looks" with
varying
tones, would he
then be able to adjust his own tones to sound more
pleasant.
At present I just explain that like mom, we sing
because it
makes us feel
good. :)) But, he wants to sing and have it sound
good.
I might add
that
in the past 10 years, this and be able to read have
been his
main request
of
life. So, how is a mother not to try???
Thanks and sorry for the rambling, Nettie with the Mom
hat
on this AM.
