## What is Sensory Touch and Learn?

This application was written and developed by Australian Speech Pathologist, Alana Noakes, to fill a gap within the iPad application market for comprehensive and research-based early language development applications. 

This application supports cause and effect development and vocabulary development. 

When modelling language for young children, it is important to use a range of different types of vocabulary words. Often the first vocabulary words used are a range of nouns. Remember that your child also needs words for actions (verbs), locations (prepositions), and descriptions (adjectives/adverbs) so that he/she can learn to combine these to form phrases. 

Children typically begin to produce phrases when their vocabularies are close to 50 words, but only if their vocabularies consist of a range of verbs, nouns etc. 

It is suggested that the following vocabulary words can be modelled while using this fun application with your child; 

Nouns: flower, ball, bird, butterfly, fruit, dog, grapes, orange, lemon, peach, cherries, pear, owl, leaf, grass, cloud, sky.

Requesting words: please, more, again, help.

Verbs/action words: go, fly, grow, fall, bounce, roll, bark, jump.

Early pronouns: mine, me, you, my turn, your turn.

Prepositions/location words: off, on, up, down, here, there.

Negation/Protest: no, gone, all gone, finish. 

Descriptive words: colours, big, small, fast, slow, pretty.

Social words: hi, bye.


This application is suitable for for range of children including; 
-Children with age-appropriate development, aged 6 months-3 years old. 
-Children with language delays (with or without a disability), aged 1-5 years old.

### 2/5 — Where is the sound

*2017-11-30, version 1.0*

Beautiful graphics, but, no sound.  Tried everything to get sound on with no success and that’s primarily why I purchased this bundle. My child is blind we are trying to stimulate movement using auditory games.  Without sound it’s no good despite the visual effects. Very disappointed. I do hope this bug can be fixed.  Until then these games will be deleted.  Waste of money
