Description
 Ease reading, speech, comprehension and pronunciation challenges with the
Toobaloo. Created by a teacher, the Toobaloo is an educational tool designed
to provide auditory feedback which helps children learn to read, increase
fluency and comprehension and meet special needs such as autism, APD,
stuttering and dyslexia. By speaking into the Toobaloo, children hear
themselves (auditory feedback) and can make adjustments to fluency,
pronunciation and even increase comprehension. Children with special needs
such as autism, auditory procession disorder, stuttering and dyslexia see
remarkable benefits from the auditory feedback process of listening to
themselves read aloud. Who uses the Toobaloo? 4Â years old to adults Classroom

Auditory Feedback What Is Auditory Feedback? Auditory Feedback is the task of
hearing the sound of one’s own voice while speaking, which enables adjustments
in pronunciation, clarity and the rhythm of speech. Auditory Feedback is used
in speech, language, auditory processing and reading therapy programs. How
Does the Auditory System Work? The auditory system is comprised of three
components; the outer, middle, and inner ear, all of which work together to
transfer sounds from the environment to the brain. The Outer Ear includes the
portion of the ear that we see and the ear canal. The Middle Ear is composed
of the eardrum and the cavity, which houses the ossicular chain (the
connection from the middle ear to the inner ear). The Inner Ear is composed of
the sensory organ for hearingâthe cochlea. In the human ear, a sound wave is
transmitted through four separate mediums along the auditory system before a
sound is perceived: in the outer earâair, in the middle earâ mechanical,
in the inner ear liquid and to the brainâneural. Why is Auditory Feedback
Important? The Auditory Feedback Loop is basically the process of saying what
you hear and hearing what you say. When there is something that breaks down in
that loop several learning activities become compromised. Things like
concentration, reading and speech are at risk for full development. In
addition, the child with a compromised Auditory Feedback Loop can have low
self-esteem and confidence as well as heightened anxiety. The Toobaloo has
been designed to provide crystal clear Auditory Feedback, helping to support
and enhance the Auditory Feedback Loop. Even children without a breakdown in
their system can benefit from enhanced Auditory Feedback. Hearing their own
pronunciation, pace and fluctuation while speaking or reading allow children
to adjust and correct what they hear and say. By supporting the Auditory
Feedback Loop the Toobaloo can increase reading and speech: -Fluency
