Finally, a tool for maximizing client compliance!
|
The first offering from SLP-info.com is a programmable, body-worn behavior modification conditioning device called the MotivAider.
Here's how it works:
The MotivAider is worn on a belt or in a pocket. Periodically, at preset intervals, it emits a silent pulsing signal. Since the client only feels the signal and no one can hear it, it acts as a personal, private reminder.
A Conditioning Protocol™ is used to program the MotivAider. As part of the Protocol, the client chooses a trigger word and a specific behavioral change to be made. For example, let us say the trigger word gentle is chosen and the change to be made is a gentle onset for each sentence - as a fluency-enhancing target or to reduce laryngeal abuse.
The result of using the Conditioning Protocol™ to program the MotivAider is that when the client feels the pulse, they automatically remember the trigger word and, when speaking, start gently.*
With repeated exposure to the now conditioned pulse, the old habit is soon replaced by the new. For detailed information regarding the MotivAider, go to: www.motiv-aider.com.
$40 postpaid in the US.
Order online or by sending a check or PO to NCS, 388 Second Avenue, Suite 136, NYC, NY 10010 or fax to: 212-982-0032.
*Your job, as clinician, is to teach the gentle onset; the MotivAider's job is to help habituate it.
