How Pehratek helps
Switch reinforcers the moment attention fades. Toy, video, or both at once with DualStim.
Duck, dog, or HD video in the middle to bring attention back to neutral between trials.

How Pehratek helps
Change toys and videos as patients and interests change. The customization kit is included.
IR or RF, three centering options, and wall, desk, or arm mounting for any booth.
Whatever combination you choose, it runs on the same remote and the same easy workflow.
Kids' interests change. Your reinforcers keep up.
Choose what works for this child. Change it for the next one.
Choose from our wide video library or load the clips your patients love. Change content in seconds from the remote.
Every toy system comes with a customization kit. When a favorite character changes, swap the toy and put it in the box.
Elmo, Peppa, Paw Patrol, Mario, Sonic, Spiderman, Gabby: whoever your patients love this year.
Centering units reorient the patient's attention back to neutral or starting position (straight ahead) and away from the left and right units.
All centering units work with your existing Pehratek VRA remote
Toy, video, or both?
No single reinforcer works best for every child. Studies of infants and toddlers have found video and animated toys each coming out ahead in different age groups, and the British Society of Audiology calls the evidence "mixed and inconclusive." The practical answer is choice: start with what fits the child, watch the response, and change when interest fades.
Light, motion, and a physical toy. A strong choice for clinics that want a proven format, simple operation, and a lower starting cost.
Bright digital video with a wide content library. Change clips quickly or add content that fits your patient group.
Video and toy reinforcement at both test positions. Give the clinician both formats in one setup, then use the one that earns the clearest response from that child.
DualStim puts toy and video at both test positions, so the clinician can switch the moment a child loses interest. Not ready for DualStim? Every Pehratek system is built to change: swap toys with the included kit, or load new videos as interests shift from one patient to the next.
Practices testing large numbers of children "would be well-served to have both AVRA and VVRA available to meet the needs of individual patients." (Karzon and Banerjee, 2010, authors of the largest direct comparison study)
Findings vary by age group, study design, reinforcer content, and outcome measured. See the full research review and source notes.
