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.

Open a door and see what’s behind it. Give the boy something to eat. He’ll even say “Thanks!” Color a cat with the help of the magic crayon! Push a button and watch the elevator door open-what could be inside? **Check out a demo of this app on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXCe1fETCnc Fun with Directions is for the iPHONE and is a ground-breaking app, designed to provide a fun and engaging way to practice listening, following directions, colors, spatial concepts, auditory memory and auditory processing. From the simplest of directions (“Touch the cat”) to the more complex (“With your orange crayon, color the large one that is a furry pet and likes to chase mice”) your child can grow and learn with this game over time. Colorful, vivid art and animations against a white background combine to create a complete game experience without visual clutter. Sound effects and surprises keep the game engaging! This app is a great choice for a toddler/preschooler, or any young child who would like to practice listening to or reading directions! Included are ten concepts: Give, touch, open, close, top, middle, bottom, push, color, erase. Features include settings for text on/off, (to practice reading vs. listening) selecting specific concepts, and the desired level of play: easy, intermediate, and advanced. An added bonus that is included in this app is the optional “Superstar Direction” which allows additional practice for remembering (“What did you have to do?”) but also expressive language. The child’s response is recorded and played back. Superstar Directions are surprise questions that pop up at random times, but can easily be turned off if desired.
