Speakaboo is an articulation screener designed to help SLP's assess speech development of a multilingual child in its native language. Using small interactive games, Speakaboo helps therapists elicit target words which are automatically recorded. The therapist can access these recordings after the test to review them, score the results, and compare them to the pronunciation of a native speaker. In the face of a language barrier, showing the child's parents a comparison of the two recordings makes it easier to explain a diagnosis. The SLT can also use the app to play the recorded audio of their child back. This often results in a better understanding of the diagnosis by parents. The test takes only 10 minutes. The short duration makes Speakaboo ideal for working with young children who become restless during long evaluations. Speakaboo's entertaining pop-ups additionally help children open up. “Children love to open the doors in Speakaboo. It’s great to see how even the shyest quickly start to name the pictures.” - Eefje van der Linden-Graafland, Speech-/language therapist at ADC The Hague "Finally an attractive tool to assess my young multilingual clients’ speech development." - Nienke Lam, Clinical Linguist, Audiological Centrum Amsterdam “Speakaboo really helps parents understand their child's speech problem.” - Marga van Mil, OnderwijsAdvies, Leiden Currently, Speakaboo supports the following languages: - Dutch - Egyptian Arabic - Moroccan Arabic - Polish - Tarifit-Berber - Turkish - Somali - Papiamento - English (US) - German - Italian - Bosnian - Tigrinya - Hindi - Russian - French - Syrian - West Armenian - East Armenian - Spanish

Met de James app heb je een aantal praktische functies van James altijd bij de hand. Handig voor als je onderweg bent, of even geen laptop in de buurt hebt. In deze eerste versie van de app kun je: • Je agenda inzien • Je afspraakinformatie bekijken en je cliënt bellen • Makkelijk foto’s en documenten vanaf je telefoon uploaden naar James, zowel als regulier document of als een verwijzing. N.B. Foto’s die je maakt met de James app worden i.v.m. veiligheid en privacy niét opgeslagen op de fotorol van je telefoon. • Switchen naar dark mode. Het komende jaar staan verschillende updates op de planning om de mogelijkheden van de app uit te breiden. Denk hierbij aan meerdere bestanden of foto’s tegelijk kunnen uploaden, afbeeldingen kunnen bewerken, volledig gebruik van de agenda, navigatie naar het adres van de cliënt en een cliëntversie met alle functies van het huidige cliëntportaal, inclusief videobelfunctie. We hopen dat deze eerste versie je werk alvast een stukje makkelijker maakt!
