Herd is a holistic service for children with cochlear implants to aid in auditory/oral practice. With Herd, children can practice at home, in a comfortable environment. Herd comes with a companion toy elephant to facilitate independent learning. With play-therapy, children establish empathy, refine motor skills and develop speech and hearing skills. The subscription comes with learning toys and activities which can interact with the elephant in real time, or be used on their own. In the app, parents can find information and resources as well as support from Speech Language Pathologists.
