Vocal recorder
The vocal recorder is a voice recording device that enhances vocalization data. The parent/ guardian will be instructed on how to use the vocal recorder. The vocal recorder will then be deployed at the participant's homes via parent/guardian. The parent/guardian will record vocalizations for approximately 1 hour while in the home or community setting pre, mid, and post treatment. The parent/guardian will return the vocal recorder to the study team for analysis of the recordings.
