*****Enlightening! ***** Superb! ***** A Wonderful Tool! ***** Exceptional App!

Designed to help people with aphasia and cognitive deficits from stroke and other brain injuries, it is also a valuable tool for older children with special needs including autism. 3 user-friendly modes include Listen, Read, and Listen&Read to target individualized goals. The app automatically adjusts difficulty based on performance, allowing for independent practice. Built-in scoring, hints, and a results summary that can be e-mailed to the therapist in report format make therapy easy! Over 500 nouns, 100 verbs, and 100 adjectives are paired with full-color photographs, recorded voice, and clear text for hours of therapy. You can add your own images too!

Features

3 modes:

  • "Listen": match an auditory stimulus (spoken word) to a picture
  • "Read": match a written stimulus (printed word) to a picture
  • "Listen & Read": match an auditory stimulus (spoken word) to a written word

Over 700 clear full-color photographs of functional vocabulary selected by a Speech-Language Pathologist

10 categories of nouns including animals, foods, objects, concepts, places, people, body parts and more; select which categories are targeted

Select from 2, 3, 4, or 6 photos on the screen or use the "Auto" feature to automatically adjust the field size based on performance

3 levels of difficulty adjust the relatedness of foils (semantic and phonemic) to move from Easy to Hard

Aphasia-friendly interface avoids use of professional jargon and features clear symbols for independent use by children and adults

Child-friendly mode eliminates references to alcohol and violence as well as disables links to outside sites (iTunes & social media)

Real recorded voice provides 5 choices of languages with neutral accent in slow, natural speech for easy comprehension in English (US/Canada), English (UK), Spanish, German, and French

Smooth and automatic transitions to the next set allow for multiple repetitions in far less time than it takes to select and lay out photo flash cards, while still allowing you to move forward and back to review answers or skip ahead

Automatic scoring tracks success and progress on-screen

Results can be e-mailed in table and report-ready format so clients can keep their therapist informed of their progress for telepractice and therapists can send results to themselves for charting later, using the copy-and-paste ready format to decrease documentation time

I have been using this app since grad school with my adult and child clients. It works so well for comprehension of nouns verbs and adjectives. Thanks,

This is a nice app for basic listening comprehension presented in three formats to change up the requirements and difficulty. I am using it with two specific patients who present with aphasia, and although both are moderate for comprehension issues and expression, they are sailing through the app without too much difficulty. I'm hoping that your developers will consider making the words more complex, branch into phrasing (although then it may be like your reading app) or consider difficulty levels for milder CVA's, TBI, post concussion syndrome, etc. Thanks in advance!

I use this for my Autism kiddos and they think its a game! It's a great, fun way to drill and kill and it takes data for you! It also lets you customize and chose what cards you want on display and how many.
