SpeechStickers playfully motivates young children with significant speech delay to practice the basic building blocks of speech. It was designed by a professional speech-language pathologist who specializes in working with children with autism and motor speech disorders such as Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). Speech-language pathologists can incorporate SpeechStickers into their therapy. Parents can use SpeechStickers at home to reinforce and supplement the speech skills that their child is working on in therapy. SpeechStickers should be played with an adult who can monitor the child's progress and provide appropriate feedback on the production of the speech sounds. Speaking is learned through practice, although not all children acquire this skill at the same rate. Children with speech delay due to motor speech disorders such as childhood apraxia of speech need to be taught the basic patterns of speech through one-on-one sessions with a speech-language pathologist. Once a child understands how to produce a sound correctly, hundreds of repetitions are often required to master the coordinated oral movements so that the speech pattern becomes second nature. The necessary practice can become tedious for young children. SpeechStickers encourages and rewards kids for practicing their speech. The therapist/adult begins a session by selecting a target sound to practice. The child chooses one of the five character stickers, places it on the screen, and repeats the sound the character makes. The therapist/adult provides feedback and discreetly scores the child's attempt. Play continues until the child has completed a set of stickers, and the child is then rewarded with their choice of an animation. - SpeechStickers targets essential early consonant sounds /m/, /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /n/, /k/, /g/, /s/, /z/, /f/, /v/, /ʃ/, /h/, /w/, /tʃ/, /ʤ/, and 12 basic vowel sounds /i/, /ɪ/, /e/, /ɛ/, /æ/, /ʌ/, /u/, /o/, /a/, /ai/, /au/, /ɔi/ in isolation and CV/VC combinations. - The specific target sound to practice can be selected according to a child's developmental needs. - The number of trials that a child must produce to earn a reward can be set according to a child's attention span. - An on-screen progress gauge clearly shows a child how many repetitions they need to complete before receiving a reward. - A “score to advance” feature allows an adult to provide appropriate feedback, models, modifications, and reinforcement for every sound the child produces in practice. - The child is in control of their own reward and can select from a drawer full of surprising and amusing animations once they have completed their practice session. It is our hope that SpeechStickers helps children find their own voice in the world. ---- This app is designed to be used under the guidance and direction of a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP). Since motor speech disorders and childhood apraxia of speech are communication disorders, the most qualified professional to provide assessment, evaluation and diagnosis is a certified SLP. Parents who are concerned about their child's speech and language development should first seek guidance from a qualified SLP before embarking on any treatment or intervention. ## Key features - Targets early consonant and vowel sounds - Selectable target sounds - Adjustable repetitions for rewards - Progress gauge for motivation - Adult feedback and scoring - Reward animations ## Recent user reviews (10 of 24) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/speechstickers/id436101181/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Great, but add sounds please *2017-03-14, version 5.0.0* Another reviewer requested a more complete vowel inventory. I agree, and also, please add the "enigma" (i.e., "ng" as in "sing"). A complete inventory of consonants and vowels in English would make this an ideal professional tool for school SLPs. ### 5/5 — BEST app for low/no verbal kids *2016-07-10, version 5.0.0* This app has helped many of my clients produce their first vowels, consonants, and syllables. Highly motivating and easy to use. ### 4/5 — Update: Would be perfect with all vowel sounds! *2016-07-03, version 5.0.0* Pediatric SLP here, and I have to say this app is so cool! Great for children struggling with speech sound productions, including children with apraxia. The kids I work with ask me all the time to play the "sticker game!" You guys rock! Edit: Wahoo!! We have a new vowel sound!! I love the new options, but I hope in the future to see /æ/ and /E/ added. I will still continue to recommend this app, but I hope the developer will consider adding these sounds in the future. Thank you for a great app! You are helping to change lives! ### 5/5 — A lovely little app *2016-05-18* This is a very simple app, ideal for encouraging 2 and 3 year olds to produce single sounds and CV or VC syllables. I will be using it often. ### 5/5 — Great app for early speech sound production! *2016-05-14, version 4.0.0* Great app to use with patients who are at the very beginning stages of speech sound production. I love that the mouths on the stickers change based on the target sound chosen and the short reinforcer animations are hilarious! Angela Moorad, MS, CCC-SLP OMazing Kids ### 5/5 — My favorite speech app by far! *2015-07-09, version 4.0.0* Speech Stickers is a consistent favorite among my clients! It makes for a great warm-up activity at the start of each session. It is highly motivating to the preschool age children I serve. ### 5/5 — I wish I could give it 10 stars ********** *2015-07-08, version 4.0.0* I have been using it for 3 years. With recent updates, it's better than ever! I use it with preschoolers who have apraxia OR just speech delay. It's highly motivating to all of them, including autism spectrum. One of my top used apps. ### 4/5 — Great fun *2014-08-13, version 3.0.1* Really cute little app that the kids on my SP caseload enjoy. Would be great to see more phonemes, the ability to work at word level, as well as more animations, particularly for the app cost. Nevertheless, it has become a regular part of my therapy tool kit. ### 5/5 — Simple Genius *2013-11-12, version 3.0.1* As an SLP I absolutely love this app. It has motivated my patients to produce various target sounds with excellent repetition that no other activity has. And they are having so much fun! Win-win for everyone, and an outstandingly smart scoring system that not only is functional for the SLP but really helps to motivate the patient because they can not add another sticker until they produce the sound themselves and I score it. I only wish it would include some later developing sounds (e.g. /r/ and /l/) because even my older kids who struggle with those later sounds enjoy this app. Expanding the vowels and expanding to real words would make this the ultimate, go-to app for apraxia, articulation, etc. ### 5/5 — My clients love this app! *2013-06-20, version 3.0.1* This is one of my most used apps in therapy. It's so basic but very motivating. Some of my younger kids have a hard time with the girl/boy stickers...calling them mama or dada. Would be good to not have human stickers...maybe have more characters. Also more vowel options, all consonants available, & expand to CVC'S & true words. ## Frequently asked questions about SpeechStickers ### What is SpeechStickers?
