The child who turned for the barking dog at minute two may be done with it by minute eight. DualStim mounts both formats at each side of the booth, an HD video monitor above and a 3D toy unit below, so you can present video, toy, or both and switch the moment a child loses interest. No second system, no second room.

One remote runs it all. A toggle on the remote picks the upper (video) or lower (toy) layer, and an LED shows which one is live. Mount it and plug it in. That is the install. No computer, no software, and no calibration.

Why both formats

Published comparisons of toy and video reinforcement do not agree on a winner. The authors of the largest clinical comparison recommended that practices testing many children keep both formats available. DualStim puts both within reach of one remote. It gives you the choice; you judge what works for each child.

Who it fits

•    Clinics that test a high volume of infants and toddlers.

•    Patient mixes that range widely in developmental age and interests, including children with developmental disabilities.

•    Teams that want a second format ready when the first stops working, without adding a system later.

•    Buyers who want one purchase and one installation plan for both formats.

What you get

•    Two HD video monitors with 25+ videos on board and USB loading for your own clips.

•    Two 3D toy units with light, motion, sound, and a customization kit for your own toys.

•    One 8-button remote, IR or RF, with an upper/lower toggle.

•    Optional HD video center monitor.

Three ways to run it

•    One remote, one layer at a time: toggle between video and toy, and present left or right. This is how most clinics set it up.

•    One remote, both together: video and toy fire on the same side at once.

•    Two remotes: one for video, one for toy, fully independent. Add a second remote for $199 when you order the system.

 

Pick IR or RF control on this page. IR uses line of sight from the remote to the receiver and is not affected by nearby radio devices. RF needs no line of sight and offers four channels.

 

Every system includes a 90-day trial, no restocking fee, and a 3-year warranty. Need a purchase order instead of a cart? Send it to info@pehratek.com.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS

Why toy and video together

The largest direct comparison study of toy and video reinforcers did not crown a winner. It ended with a recommendation:

Practices testing large numbers of children would be well-served to have both AVRA and VVRA available.

DualStim questions

  • Will it work with our existing audiometer?

    Yes. DualStim operates independently from the audiometer using the Pehratek remote, so it works with any audiometer.

  • How hard is installation?

    Most clinics mount and cable a system in an afternoon. Everything needed is in the box, and our Texas-based team walks you through it by phone or video if you want company.

  • Has DualStim been clinically tested against single-format systems?

    The largest direct comparison study to date found that practices testing large numbers of children are well served by having both animated-toy and video reinforcement available. DualStim puts both at each position.

  • IR or RF: which should we choose?

    IR is included and works on line of sight. RF adds 200 dollars, uses four channels, and suits rooms where the remote will not always have a clear path to the units. Systems are field-convertible either way.
