Training Opportunities
Tiger's Tale is an ideal springboard for accomplishing a variety of therapeutic goals. A clinician can model a response for the child, ask the child to imitate it, decide whether the recording should be saved or not, and finally playback the child's utterance. This gives children the opportunity to use and practice a variety of language structures and functions in a motivating, yet non-threatening environment.

Non-verbal alternative
If a child is asked a question and does not record an answer, there is the option to click on one of the characters and the scene will continue. This allows a child who initially refuses to speak to interact with the program and gradually increase the number of replies he or she records for Tiger.

In the final scene of Tiger's Tale, students click on various objects to find Tiger's voice. Afterwards, they can watch the movie and hear their own voices speaking for Tiger. These A Rewarding Experience

These "home" movies, which can be saved for future viewing, are not only entertaining, but also enable students to measure their progress over time.
