Fun apps for speech and language development
Check out these apps where you and your child can have some fun while working on different aspects of their speech and language skills.
ARTICULATION STATION
This articulation app is loved by speech therapists and parents alike. With activities and beautiful graphics at the WORD, PHRASE, SENTENCE and STORY levels targeting 22 sounds in the English language, your kids will love practicing their sounds and forget they are actually “working” on their articulation.
FACTORY OF CATEGORIES
The ability to group objects according to their common characteristics is a basic concept that helps child build their semantic knowledge but also their world. Classifying and categorising provide the foundation for problem solving, remembering and integrating new information. The animation and colourful graphics in the app makes the learning process fun and motivating as children classify and organise different objects as they pack boxes, put different objects on the wagons and throw certain objects in the bin.
OTSIMO SPEECH THERAPY
Otsimo Speech Therapy SLP is designed to develop receptive language abilities and to improve the articulation of children experiencing speech difficulties. Video modelling, voice recognition and fun stickers, masks and filters combine to make speech therapy a fun activity that can take place anywhere whenever the mood strikes!
SPEECH BLUBS
The highly regarded Speech Blubs is a language therapy app with a vast library of more than 1,500 activities, face filters, voice-activated activities, and educational bonus videos. It will take your child on a fun-filled journey towards speech milestones with activities including video modelling to copy and repeat, role-play with fun filters, a mouth gym, literacy, phonological awareness and more.
TALKIE ARTICULATION
Talkie is an innovative articulation app designed to help children learn and practice speech-sound production. It can be used in a clinical setting with a speechie as well as for home-practice for reinforcement of skills. Five attractive, fully illustrated games – and bonus games – help children learn and practice sounds while having fun.
THE SCHOOL OF MULTISTEP DIRECTIONS
Another app to work on listening and comprehension skills. This app is built around the theme of school and allows children to follow increasingly longer and more complex multi–step unrelated directions in three different “classroom” settings such as English, Maths and a science lab.
