Preposition Remix: The Musical Way to Master Spatial Skills Turn up the volume on language learning! Developed by certified speech-language pathologist Barbara Fernandes, Preposition Remix is a high-energy, music-themed app designed to help children, English Language Learners (ELL), and individuals with language delays master the "where" in their world. Why Real Photos Matter Unlike abstract cartoons that can be confusing, Preposition Remix uses nearly 200 real-life, high-quality photographs. This concrete visual anchoring helps neurodivergent students and language learners generalize spatial concepts—like under, between, and closest to—from the screen to their everyday environment. Build Your Virtual Band Motivation is the key to progress! As students correctly identify spatial relationships, they earn musical notes to unlock a virtual instrument collection. From guitars to bagpipes, students can tap and play their instruments, turning therapy into a creative jam session. Features for Professionals and Parents: Comprehensive Library: Targets over 20 core prepositions including above, behind, beside, between, under, in front of, inside, closest to, and furthest from. Professional Data Tracking: Automatically logs session dates, targets attempted, and accuracy percentages in a detailed "Report Card". Complete Customization: Toggle individual prepositions on or off to align with specific IEP goals or classroom lessons. Clinical Scaffolding: Adjust feedback settings to include "No Response" for incorrect taps to reduce frustration, or "Written Cues" to support early readers. Multi-Player Support: Manage multiple student profiles on one device, tracking individual progress and instrument collections separately.

Articulation Arcade brings speech sound practice, a wide variety of games, progress tracking, and rewards together in one easy-to-use app. Choose a target speech sound, pick a game, and start practicing — whether that means kicking goals in Kick & Say, climbing ladders in Snakes & Ladders, or launching the slingshot in Knockdown. The app handles the flashcards, scoring, and data, so you can focus on supporting each child’s speech. Created by a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP), Articulation Arcade is designed specifically for children with speech sound delay or speech sound disorder. Built with SLPs in mind, it’s also simple enough for parents and teachers to use at home or in the classroom with guidance from a speech professional. Fun, interactive games and a star reward system keep kids motivated and celebrate every step of their speech progress. **PERFECT FOR** * Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and SLP assistants in schools, clinics, and private practice * Teletherapy and in-person sessions alike * Early intervention and preschool speech therapy * Special education teachers and support staff * Parents supporting speech practice at home * Kids working on articulation and phonology goals **HOW IT WORKS** Pick an articulation game or the Flashcards activity, choose your target sound and word position (initial, medial, or final), and start. On each turn, a flashcard pops up and the child says their target word, phrase, or sentence as many times as needed. Score each production as correct, approximately correct, or incorrect — no separate data sheet required. **9 ARTICULATION GAMES** * Kick & Say — kick the ball to collect pictures and score a goal. * Snakes & Ladders — take turns climbing ladders and dodging snakes. * Knockdown — pull the slingshot and launch the ball at the stack. * Four in a Row — line up four counters to win. * Tic Tac Toe — get three in a row to win the game. * Matching — find the matching picture pairs. * Bingo — hear the word, find the picture, and stamp it. * Spin the Wheel — spin and land on a picture. * Scratchcards — scratch to reveal the flashcard beneath. Kick & Say includes a two-player mode, and Snakes & Ladders supports up to four players — so kids can play against their SLP or parent, or take turns in group therapy sessions. **STAR REWARDS** Kids earn a star for every production marked correct, then spend their stars to unlock Kick & Say teams, Bingo stamps, and Snakes & Ladders game pieces. A Star Progress screen shows what they’ve unlocked and how many stars they need to reach the next reward — a simple motivator that encourages kids to practice even more. **WHAT’S INSIDE** * Over 1,400 real-life photos — real objects, not cartoons, to support generalization. * All 22 English consonant sound programs, plus l, r, and s blends. * Sounds targeted in initial, medial, and final positions. * Word, phrase, and sentence level practice. * Approximately 60 target words for most speech sounds. **BUILT FOR SPEECH THERAPY** * An individual profile for each child. * Record and play back productions to monitor responses. * Email a results summary — no data sheets, no printing, no prep. * Results tracking and built-in data storage. * Works fully offline — no Wi-Fi required, perfect for any therapy room or on the go. **ONE-TIME PURCHASE** — no subscriptions, no monthly fees. Buy once and keep it forever. 9 games, real photos, and automatic data recording — everything you need to make articulation practice something kids look forward to. Download Articulation Arcade and see the difference in your next speech therapy session.
