WhisperPhone

The WhisperPhone is a revolutionary tool designed to help children and adults improve their reading and speaking skills. With two variants, the WhisperPhone Element and the WhisperPhone Solo, Senso-Care offers a solution for anyone looking for effective support in education and language development.

The WhisperPhone Element is specifically designed for learners and individuals who are tactile sensitive and prefer to hold their WhisperPhone instead of wearing the Solo headset. This variant is ideal for children from kindergarten through grade 4 and is dishwasher safe, ensuring a healthy learning environment. As a focused auditory input tool, the WhisperPhone enables users to receive immediate feedback on their speaking volume, pitch, and pronunciation, among other aspects. This innovative reading device provides a multisensory experience for learners in both individual and group activities. Experts have researched and proven the effectiveness of this tool as an aid in education, and speech-language pathologists have demonstrated the benefits of the WhisperPhone in both the classroom and home settings.

The WhisperPhone Solo, on the other hand, is a durable and lightweight headset that allows for hands-free operation. It is ideal for learners from kindergarten through grade 4. This variant enables users to experience all the benefits of the WhisperPhone tool while holding a book or engaging in point-to-read exercises. Like the Element, the Solo provides immediate feedback on speaking volume, pitch, and pronunciation, contributing to an effective learning experience.

Research shows that the WhisperPhone relies on various proven methods to enhance a reader's learning, such as multisensory stimulation and focused auditory input (FAI). It also offers benefits to readers who need additional or alternative support in reading and oral exercises. Studies have shown that "whisper phones" are beneficial for both readers with and without learning difficulties, improving fluency, word decoding, and comprehension.

The Indiana Department of Education recommends the use of a "whisper phone" as an accommodation when students need to read text aloud to themselves in standardized testing situations. Such tools enable students to undertake significant tests with maximum understanding and comfort.

With the WhisperPhone, Senso-Care provides a thoroughly researched intervention that brings multisensory learning and auditory feedback to young learners. Whether you're looking to enhance your child's reading routine at home or are an SLP seeking something new for your toolkit, the WhisperPhone is the right tool for your educational goals.
