Prosody Assessment vs Auditory Training

This is the client version of The Prosody Assessment, an interactive, 2-iPad assessment app that helps SLPs and their clients evaluate, understand, and address prosody challenges. You will need to download both this app and the Prosody Assessment - Examiner app in order to administer the assessment. Created by a team of SLPs and computer scientists and funded by the NIH, the Prosody Assessment evaluates 12 different areas of expressive and receptive prosody. The assessment concludes with an in-app results screen denoting areas of strength and challenge and clinicians are provided with a pdf report that can be printed or digitally shared with clients, caregivers, and staff. It can be administered in 45 minutes and features the voices of people of all ages and genders, real photographs, and big, bright, easy-to-touch response buttons. • Allows for quick and accurate identification of prosody challenges in clients ages 7-adult. • Equips clinician and client with a shared understanding of prosody that serves as a therapeutic foundation. • Provides actionable data for baseline, goal writing, and progress monitoring. • Enables a positive, strengths-based approach to future treatment. • Gives research-based insights regarding pitch, volume, and tempo of speech. • Built to be simple to use, easy to understand, and accessible to all.

Auditory processing refers to the way in which the Central Auditory System analyzes and interprets the sounds we hear, therefore the information heard is understood by our brain. People with auditory processing disorders (APD) hear sounds, but the way the brain translates these sounds is disrupted, resulting in disorderly messages. This app is indicated for individuals with deviations in the Auditory Processing Assessment; professionals who need to stimulate their clients' auditory skills; students who have difficulty concentrating and paying attention to the teacher's explanation in the presence of other distracting stimuli in the classroom; among others.
