Fun With Directions vs Describe it to me

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.

Unlock deeper language connections through the power of description. Step into the spotlight with Describe It To Me, a vibrant, multi-level educational tool designed by a certified Speech-Language Pathologist. Whether you are working with children building foundational vocabulary or adults rebuilding semantic networks, this app turns therapy into an interactive game show experience. Why "Describe It To Me" Works Research shows that a deep semantic understanding is the key to better word retrieval and language expression. Instead of simple identification, our app probes six critical areas of knowledge for every item, helping users create a "mental map" of the world around them. Key Features 6-Point Semantic Mapping: Every item includes questions covering Category, Function, Parts, Location, Visuals, and Extra Facts. Dual-Mode Learning: Toggle seamlessly between Receptive (identifying) and Expressive (explaining) language tasks with a simple swipe. Dynamic Game Show Atmosphere: Features a player spinner, high-quality visuals, and a "TV-style" interface to keep engagement high. Comprehensive Reporting: Track progress with detailed session report cards. Monitor accuracy across specific question types to see exactly where a learner excels or needs help. Built-in Motivation: A dedicated Awards & Achievements center where players can view their scores and "unmask" mystery trophies. Professional Tools for SLPs & Educators Multi-User Support: Manage up to 5 players per session with individual tracking. Fully Customizable: Use the "Customize Word List" feature to focus on specific vocabulary or adjust settings for auditory reinforcement and "wrong-answer" behaviors. Homework Made Easy: Access and print/email various skill-level worksheets directly from the app to bridge the gap between therapy and home. Integration: Fully compatible with the Therapy Report Center for streamlined progress monitoring and professional reporting. What’s Inside? 160+ High-Quality, Real-World Images (no confusing clip art!) Bilingual Support: Easily switch between English and Spanish. Progress Tracking: Data collection over time for every student. Designed by an Expert: Created by Susan Rose Simms, MA, CCC-SLP.
