## What is SpeakColors?

SpeakColors is an iPad app designed to encourage young children to imitate and use two word phrases with color words and common objects. The app is geared toward toddlers with speech and language delays, autism, Down syndrome and other developmental disorders.

This motivating app increases vocabulary skills, phrase length, and receptive and expressive language.  This lite version of SpeakColors contains 7 common colors and 100 colorful photographs of objects.  Children can record their own voice to name colors, food, animals, toys, and common objects.

"SpeakColors can do an excellent job of teaching words and sentence structure as a precursor to or in conjunction with other reinforcing hands-on multi-modality activities." ~ SpeechPathologyApps.com

### 5/5 — Special education teacher

*2013-05-02*

Great to use for ABA.

### 2/5 — What happened to the sound?

*2012-12-29*

This was a great app until the sound quit working. What happened?

### 5/5 — SLP

*2012-12-13*

SpeakColors is one of my favorite apps for my speech and language clients working at the phrase and early sentence level. The presentation is straightforward, visually appealing, and the voice is clear -- and speaks sufficiently slowly for the children and teens to understand. In addition, the student can say the phrase or sentence into a "mic" and then play it back. This feature is especially useful to encourage speech production for my clients with autism. Perhaps most important of all, my sons love this app!

### 5/5 — .

*2012-10-11*

Great app got my son reading.

### 5/5 — Educational and fun!

*2012-07-18*

This is a wonderful app, my daughter really enjoys it and we take turns recording our voices, which is an excellent feature. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Very engaging

*2012-07-09*

This is a helpful app for kids in speech therapy.  Easy to learn and educational.  Thank you.

### 2/5 — Good idea; Bad voice

*2012-04-29*

The voice of the man speaking on this app is so the terrible, I started laughing. I will use this app with my students, but I'm going to turn off the sound. The man sounds drugged up. He uses a slow, lethargic, drawn out, monotones voice. Very unappealing and definitely not a good speech model for my students!

### 4/5 — Good except for the voice!

*2012-04-15*

Yes, the voice recording is way too draggy!  Please redo with a child's voice!

### 4/5 — Creepy voice

*2012-04-05*

But otherwise a very well done app. I will be using it with my little girls with Down Syndrome. They don't seem to mind the voice, but it makes everyone else in the family cringe and or giggle.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2012-04-02*

Great concept, but the voice is way too distracting for children:(
