Wordwindow
A fun new way for special needs children to learn speech and language basics. In creating this program on DVD and VHS tape, our mission was to build a bridge to the world of language by showing children how much fun their voice can be! This recent testimonial from the Director of a Children's Clinic is a wonderful description of how Wordwindow works... A few months ago you sent me a copy of your DVD. Recently, I started to use it with our Autistic kids (during ABA therapy). I must say that they are ALL hooked. Most have started to name the letters without prompts (including the names of the letters and the sounds). This is amazing! I am very impressed with the video and have passed onyour info when parents ask for it. I would be more than happy to put your link up on our website.
More great testimonials, additional information, and two demo clips from the program can be found on our site. We invite you to please visit our website, and see what we're about!
