Talk Backs also work really well in group settings - you can give each child a Talk Back so that if you’re working with one child at a time, the others can still be practicing independently.
I only see them once a week, so during all the time in between, the child can use the Talk Back to self-monitor and detect his/her own errors. I encourage my speech kids to use their Talk Back as often as possible to practice their speech

Gently fold it up to make a “phone” shape and then staple the seams together so it retains the phone shape.ĥ. Next, snip the bottom third on both sides.Ĥ. You don’t need the bottom half that holds the eggs.ģ. Take an egg carton and cut the top half (the lid) off. Explain how the air is directed out of the mouth and channeled up to the ear, which makes it easier to hear yourself.
Demonstrate how it is used by putting it up to your left or right ear. Show the child/children a Talk Back that you’ve made ahead of time. This way they’re more invested in the activity, and it’s fun, and we can work on other skills at the same time such as following directions:ġ. I usually have the child make their Talk Back with me, or at least watch me. Either way, just be sure to select one without holes/cut outs in the lid (which would interrupt air flow). But, I have made them before with 18-egg and/or styrofoam cartons if that's all I have. Ideally cardboard egg cartons that hold a dozen eggs work best - they're easier for a child to hold, they transmit the sound better, and you can more easily watch the child's mouth because of the smaller size.
