## What is SCIP?

Turbocharge your speech therapy!  

SCIP (Sound Contrasts In Phonology) is an evidence-based, therapeutic tool developed through a one million dollar NIH grant by ASHA Fellow Dr. A. Lynn Williams.  Dr. Williams partnered with EBS Learning to create this revolutionary app to maximize therapy by increasing intelligibility in less time.

SCIP allows you to both create and implement treatment approaches using five different contrastive therapy approaches:

	Multiple Oppositions
	Minimal Pairs
	Maximal Oppositions
	Treatment of the Empty Set
	Vowel Contrasts

SCIP includes more than 2,400 real words and 6,000 nonsense words to provide the widest variety of treatment stimuli and support rapid progress.  The app allows individual or group sessions with up to 4 students.  In group sessions, each student has individualized treatment targets and data collection.  Print or email graphs of treatment progress and individual session notes!  Choose the option to treat word-initial or word-final sounds using pictures or illustrations.  You can also print illustrations to prepare practice sets to be used away from the iPad or sent home for reinforcement.

Amazing features of this app allow you to:

	Easily create treatment programs with five contrastive approaches.
	Provide therapy sessions using illustrations or pictures.
	Collect data and enter therapy notes for each session.
	Graph treatment data and produce therapy reports.
	Print illustrations for use away from the iPad.
	Create and save groups of up to four students each with their own targets and treatment approach.

Previously created for use with a computer, this improved and even easier-to-use program is now available as an app on your iPad!  "SCIP" the prep time and jump right into treatment!

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2021-08-22*

This app is a dream for a new therapist! Many thanks for developing it.

### 3/5 — Delay in Flashcards

*2021-04-08*

I love this app; however, there is often quite a long delay in receiving the flashcards by email. This means that my clients are waiting for days or sometimes weeks before I can use the flashcards for practice with them.

### 5/5 — Great app and therapy tool

*2020-10-02*

This app saves so much prep time and makes it so much easier to be flexible in therapy and change targets.
