No two people are the same. With 4 activities ranging from simple to complex, there's something in Category Therapy to match your needs. Work through them gradually or focus on the activity that best suits your needs. 1) FIND: Start with the basics. You'll hear and see a photo of a category (let's say "Fruit"). Tap the item that matches (for example, a banana). 2) CLASSIFY: Switch it up. Now you start with an item and choose the category that matches. This tests your ability to apply categories to what you see. 3) ADD ONE: Train yourself to recognize common features of items – to categorize them – and then choose one item that fits the category you’ve identified. 4) EXCLUDE: Challenge yourself. By choosing an item that doesn't belong, you learn how to independently identify categories. As things get harder, you can always tap Hint for some help. ALL DONE? Share your progress. The app makes it easy to quickly view, share, or e-mail detailed reports to a therapist or loved one.

For anyone who wants to sharpen their mental math. The app presents a math question on a card; use your voice to answer.  Way back in elementary school we used to be sent out into the hallway to practice math flashcards with parent volunteers. Fast forward into the 21st century and we can do this with speech recognition and an iPad or iPhone. Designed with your primary grades elementary student in mind, this handy tool can make learning foundational math fun. The app presents one question at a time from a set of cards. Use your voice to answer the question. If the answer is correct, another question on a card is presented. For example, if your device or the app is configured for English and the question presented is 2 + 1, say "three", and the next card will be presented. If the app does not hear the correct answer, you will get a visual indication that the answer is not correct and you can try the question again. The next card is only displayed if the card is answered correctly. Cards are grouped into sets of questions arranged by difficulty level. The question sets automatically get more difficult as questions are correctly answered. The question sets automatically get easier if the questions appear too difficult. At any time, the card difficulty can be manually adjusted to a previously accessed level. The screenshots shown are samples of questions from various difficulty levels that may or may not appear during actual use of the app, (i.e. the app questions are randomly generated). Have an older iPad or iPhone or iPod touch? We've tried to make the app work with as many devices as possible that can do speech recognition. The app runs in landscape mode, and each question card fills the screen. There are two important device features that the app will require access to: the microphone (to hear your spoken answer), and speech recognition (to understand your spoken answer). The app will walk you through a very short setup sequence the very first time you open the app. The app comes pre-loaded with levelled questions focussing on addition. This helps the student focus on mastering the absolute basics first. Tap a card's upturned corner to access an option to switch topics to multiplication. From the back side of a card, select the desired multiplication table to practice. Occasional incorrect answers due to wrong-word or "sound-a-like" substitutions may occur due to the inherent limitations of speech recognition. Over time, with continued use of speech recognition, errors due to these substitutions may decrease. No in-app purchases. A one-time purchase provides access to the entire app for all your supported devices. Whether it's new material for learners or not yet ingrained for reviewers, all will find this tool useful.
