How This App Works:
Speech Therapy: G is a comprehensive app designed by a practicing,ASHA certified speech language pathologist. This app describes howto say G and then how to teach it to your child. You will learn howto systematically practice G with your child using research proventechniques in the comfort of your own home. All the neededmaterials are provided as well as game ideas for every level ofpractice. There is also a bonus section of photo flashcards thatyou can bring up on your device for a quick practice.
This app is VERY different than any other app on the market madefor speech therapy practice at home.
I was tired of children with articulation needs NOT makingprogress! I took a good, long look at the materials available forparents. While shiny cards and fancy apps look fun, they are NOTwhat children need. Articulation practice should be natural, happenthroughout the day, and occur with common words that your childfrequently says.
So, I created this not so fancy app to help parents reach theirgoals!
In order for your child to make progress with articulationgoals, he/she needs to be able to say the desired sounds withinwords and then practice that skill in a functional setting such asat home using words he/she actually says! For example, a child maysay G correctly in the word "gorilla" while playing a game;however, he/she most likely won't say that word again for weeks ormonths. Not really functional.....
On the other hand, if a child practices G by saying "go" whileplaying cars, carryover of progress is likely to happen!
This articulation app is created with this philosophy in mind.It will take a bit more work for parents, but it will pay off inthe end!
