HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL GET:

● A free sample of 4 out of 5 of the games with a 7-trial limit.
● A free complete game of Four in a Row to get high speech trials.

● Adjustable word selection and many more options for a personalized experience.
● A professional app, designed by a speech-and-language therapist and based on evidence.
● Access to the Fronting category with the minimal pairs t/k, s/sh, and d/g.

For a more comprehensive therapy experience targeting a total of 12 phonological processes (speech sound error patterns), consider upgrading to the full version.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Minimal Pairs Therapy, a proven method for helping children with speech difficulties, is at the heart of this app. This approach helps kids learn to say sounds correctly by contrasting words that differ by just one sound, e.g., "tea," "key." This speech-language pathology (SLP) app covers each step of minimal pairs therapy: 1) familiarization with the pictures and word meanings, 2) auditory discrimination (the ability to hear the difference between the sounds in words), 3) production (saying the words).

● Select the Fronting category. Select only the sounds you want to target in initial or final position of the word.
● Use the Flashcards to familiarize the child with the pictures and the word meanings.
● Work on auditory discrimination by playing the Balloon Pop and Feed the Tiger games.
● Play Coin Drop, Stamp & Say, or Four in a Row to work on speech production.
● Record the child and play it back for instant feedback and self-monitoring.
● Adjust the word selection and many more options to keep your therapy at the right level.
● Email the results to a parent or other adult user.

Once you’re ready for the full experience, simply upgrade to Minimal Pairs Arcade.

It takes lots of repetition to master speech sounds—and that’s how we can help. With the full version of the app guiding daily practice, children can learn to speak clearly.

This app can be used in therapy to target:

● Articulation
● Apraxia
● Phonological Awareness & Disorders
● Minimal Pairs
● Speech Perception for Deaf and Hard of Hearing
