These sequences teach a young child the basics of nature and everyday life events, and help them to understand with visual and audio scaffolding how to perform important everyday tasks also. The app uses bright visual cues and enticing audio cues to help children learn. It helps children develop organizational skills, logical order, verbal recollection, and cause and effect relationships. Long term use has shown that Speech Sequencing can help children understand everyday events and build a memory recall. The app also lets parents, teachers, or therapists keep track of the child's progress. Here are some of the app's features: 12 sequences, four of which are free and eight of which are available for purchase Fun audio and visual support and encouragement A seconds to completion timer Audio cues that guide the child through the sequences Visual supports like green light up target icons.

Educational Features: Built in seconds to complete a sequence displays progress Controls to turn off audio/music or timer, to customize the app. Personal story: As a SLPA student, father and primary caregiver of my now 14 year old Autistic son, I have over the years used the sequencing in his schools when he was three through six years. It greatly helped him, and he was nonverbal at three and now he can talk and communicate wonderfully. Sequencing helped him organize his thoughts, recall events and speak and then write sentences in a logical order. Narrative speech was difficult and many hours spent sequencing stories cognitively and logically and verbally helped him talk about his day. First I did this, then this happened at school and finally this happened at lunchtime.
