Webber Photo Articulation Castle is an educational app for speech pathologists from Super Duper Publications. It has 3,000 PHOTO-WORDS with 24 PHONEMES for students to practice their articulation skills at the word, phrase, and sentence level, as well as certain phonology skills. All photos are from Sharon Webber's Jumbo Artic Drill Book - Volume 3. To keep your children engaged, Artic Castle has three different learning activities. GAMES + ACTIVITIES: • Photo Fun – This is a standard flash card activity. Players look at the pictures and say the words. Tap the scoring icons at the bottom of the card to score the production. • Arcade Game – There are six variations of the arcade game: Balloon Pop, Duck Derby, Fishing Rodeo, Hidden Treasure, Raceway, and Space Explorer. In each arcade game, after the player taps an object (a balloon, duck, fish, gem, car, or spaceship), the player is awarded points and a picture appears. The player looks at the picture and says the word. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins. • Matching – There are two levels of matching. Level 1 (easy) uses six pairs of cards (for a total of 12 cards) and Level 2 (difficult) uses 10 pairs of cards (20 cards total). Students try to find matching pairs of cards while practicing their target sounds. FEATURES: • Customize play by adding an unlimited number of players and goals. • Quick Play option to begin playing without entering players and goals. • Over 100 clear photos on distraction-free white backgrounds (over 2,200 photos in the full version). • 108 target B photo-words (3,000 target photo-words in the full version). • 24 sounds included in the full version: B, CH, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, L blends, M, N, P, R (vocalic), R blends, S, S blends, SH, T, TH, V, W, Y, and Z.

Whether you are determining baselines, monitoring progress, or writing highly targeted IEP goals, the AAT Plus transforms complex speech sound data into clear, actionable clinical insights. Moving far beyond simple raw scores, this tool provides a multi-dimensional analysis of your student's speech sound production, right from your iPad. KEY CLINICAL FEATURES Comprehensive Assessment Modules Quick Consonant Screener: Rapidly assess all English consonants in initial, medial, and final positions. Full Assessment: Evaluate all consonants plus a comprehensive Vowels Analysis (Singletons, Diphthongs, Tongue Advancement/Height, and Lip Rounding). Specialized R-Screener: Tackle the complex /r/ phoneme with a dedicated module targeting prevocalic /r/, vocalic /r/ (ar, er, ear, etc.), and R-blends. Features specialized visual badging for distortions ("dis") and gliding ("gl"). Sentence Screener: Evaluate connected speech to identify coarticulation errors and patterns that only appear in continuous dialogue. Advanced Analytics Dashboard Instantly view detailed color-coded breakdowns of your student's speech sound breakdown across six critical categories: Position in Word: Initial, Medial, and Final. Manner of Articulation: Fricatives, Plosives, Nasals, Glides, etc. Place of Articulation: Bilabial, Alveolar, Velar, Palatal, etc. Voicing Features: Differentiates voiced vs. voiceless consonant accuracy. Word-Level Breakdown: A complete phonetic transcript of target words, highlighted errors, and clinical notes. Error Types & Phonological Processes: Automatically identifies active error patterns (e.g., Final Consonant Deletion, Cluster Reduction) and provides built-in developmental suppression ages. Dynamic Stimulability Testing Automatically imports all missed targets from your assessment into an interactive stimulability dashboard. Test isolated sounds and specific word positions with built-in auditory/visual modeling prompts. Watch target statuses update in real-time (Untested, Stimulable, Not Stimulable) to effortlessly select your next therapy targets. Developmental Sound Profile Instantly overlay your student's assessment data onto standard developmental acquisition norms (adapted from Sander, 1972). Perfect for parent consultations to visually demonstrate whether an error is developmentally appropriate or requires intervention.
