SpeakColors is an iPad app designed to encourage young children to imitate and use two word phrases with color words and common objects. The app is geared toward toddlers with speech and language delays, autism, Down syndrome and other developmental disorders. This motivating app increases vocabulary skills, phrase length, and receptive and expressive language. This lite version of SpeakColors contains 7 common colors and 100 colorful photographs of objects. Children can record their own voice to name colors, food, animals, toys, and common objects. "SpeakColors can do an excellent job of teaching words and sentence structure as a precursor to or in conjunction with other reinforcing hands-on multi-modality activities." ~ SpeechPathologyApps.com *** Free App of the Week in SpeechPathologyApps.com Newsletter (05/31/2012) *** Instructions: - From the main menu, press "Start". - Pick a color from the top of the screen. - Pick a sentence template from the upper-left of the screen. - Swipe left or swipe right (or use arrow buttons) to change objects. - Press a color or object in the middle of the screen to hear the name of the color or object. *** Includes In App Purchase to unlock features of the Full Version. *** *** Disclosure *** At RWH Technology we are committed to the privacy and safety of our customers and their children.

CogniAction is a game platform, whose purpose is to challenge the brain of children with Down Syndrome, through tasks that seek to improve cognitive functionality and visomotor performance. The platform has four games: Let's smile - Aims to make an initial assessment of the child's visomotor function and readiness for the most complex games, aims to test its accuracy and reaction time for the visual stimulus presented. Let's Pop - Evaluates the child's motor and mental response levels, through the reaction to the presented stimuli. It can also evaluate measures of movement time, precision of visomotor response, reaction time and detects impulsivity and low behavioral self-regulation. See the Little Train - Evaluates sustained attention, discrimination, speed of response and working memory of the child Where's the Little Monster - Tests the learning of pairs associated between an abstract visual pattern and its location. It assesses visual memory and learning, and involves long-term visual-spatial memory mechanisms. Children must be instructed to memorize in which positions the monsters appear in the upper windows, to touch the respective monster when it appears at the door. In all games it is possible to choose between Easy, Medium and Difficult levels, through a calibration interface. This platform is part of the CogniActionLab project and is being developed with the support of the Apple Developer Academy project of the Catholic University of Brasilia.
