Designed specifically for speech-language pathologists (SLPs), educators, and parents, this app transforms traditional therapy into a joyful experience that encourages children to pay attention to detail while expanding their vocabulary. Why "Is That Silly?" is a Must-Have for Language Development Children with ADHD, Autism, and various language or learning disorders often struggle to notice subtle details in their environment. This app utilizes over 120 vibrant illustrations to target these challenges through fun, interactive "silly" scenarios. By identifying absurdities—like a shark walking in the desert or a car flying in the sky—students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Key Features & Therapeutic Benefits: Receptive & Expressive Language: Children practice identifying "silly" vs. "not silly" image pairs to build foundational language skills.

What parents say about our awesome apps: *** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you. *** 5 stars! Every one of your apps that I’ve tried is great! When using “Comprehension Builder”, your learner will first read a passage. The learner must then hold the information in memory in order to answer a multiple choice question. To build sustained attention and working memory, early levels contain 2-sentence texts with limited word count. As comprehension is demonstrated and memory increases, the texts increase in length and difficulty. “Comprehension Builder” contains 200+ fiction and non-fiction texts on a variety of topics. This app is perfect for learners who: - when reading or listening, information seems to ‘go in one ear and out the other.’ - have trouble responding to questions about a text unless they can refer back to the text. - can understand each sentence, but don’t seem to put them together to make meaning from the text as a whole. Additional Features: - Incremental learning. New levels are unlocked only when your child demonstrates mastery. - Fun and engaging Reward Center to increase motivation. - Contains over 600 questions, with content designed by professional teachers and researchers.
