More Speech Therapy for school and home practice! This app has 536 colorful drawings to hold children’s interest as they practice their good speech. Focus on Initial, Medial, and Consonant phonemes along with Consonant Clusters and some Vowels + R. Each picture has a button with the word, the sounds in the word, a phrase and sentence containing the word. And a question and answer to stimulate discussion using the picture as a starting point. A clear speech model is presented for the child to imitate and they can record and play back their own speech. The clinician can choose from three scoring methods. 1. Score each response as correct, distorted or incorrect. 2. Score responses as correct, distorted, substituted, or omitted. 3. Score productions based on whether they are spontaneously correct/incorrect or imitatively correct/incorrect. This app uses the content from the Word Practice game from LocuTour’s Artic Games & More CD.
