Does not work on ios 11

Please update your app so it works with ios 11. My money is wasted now and my son can not use it. Please fix this problem as soon as possible.

Fantastic app

Great app that provides ideal presentation of verbs that allows for mapping. Students (ASD) are very engaged by this and the pronunciation and animations are both very clear.
One improvement could be the ability to select and deselect specific verbs. Sometimes particular verbs are repetitive and there is no control over which ones appear. Also your website appears to be affected by malware (redirects to a spam page).
Otherwise a terrific app!

Fantastic language app for young children

This is a great app!
Key Word Kids has been developed by an Australian Speech Pathologist and Special Education teacher using the principles of the Derbyshire Language Scheme, to target listening and speaking skills in young children. This clever app is designed to check the child's level of understanding, and the start the activities at the appropriate level. Clear and engaging graphics, sounds, feedback responses and tasks lead the child through each level, while expanding their understanding and spoken language abilities. Key Word Kids is designed for use with children 0-5, however I have used it widely in my Speech Pathology practice with older children with disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, Down Syndrome and general developmental delay with great success. Key Word Kids has become a favourite in my therapy toolbox, because of its clear targets, easy to use features, and evidence based approach to language therapy with young children, and I am confident in recommending it to parents and professionals alike.

Excellent app for SLTs

I work with autistic children with language delay/disorder. This app is excellent! The sounds and animations are delightful and the kids love it. Unlike some other apps this one actually uses proper key word level comprehension. There is a huge variety of vocabulary, concepts, scenarios and imagery and the kids never seem to get bored of it. It’s flexible and fun. This app is an absolute must for anyone working with children with language and communication difficulties.
