Improve mental organization skills. Practice categories in a versatile speech therapy app. When you struggle with categories due to stroke, brain injury, or autism, simple tasks can be impossible.

But with the right kind of practice, it’s possible to strengthen the connections between words and concepts and navigate your world more easily. “It will be a LONG time before you run out of content to use with one patient, and the app’s fantastic settings options will allow you to use it with a variety of individuals, regardless of cognitive abilities.” - Aubrey Klingensmith, MS, CCC-SLP, Speechie Apps GET THE RIGHT ACTIVITY - FOR EVERY BRAIN. 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.

About

Easy Syllables

Read full description

Learn to Read! Use this app with your child to help them learn to read quickly. It displays lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as 2- and 3-character syllables, and provides audio pronunciation. The app features an easy-to-use interface with a points system. In the settings, you can enable or disable 3-letter syllables and the characters ä & ö. Adjusting the timing of when a syllable is automatically spoken turns it into a fun game, allowing the user to try reading the syllable before hearing it aloud. Scientific studies suggest that learning from syllables is easier than learning from whole words. My son learned to read with this app at the age of 5! Short syllables prevent exhaustion and lower the barrier to trying. The simple user interface, free of childish characters, makes this app suitable not only for children but also for older individuals who struggle with reading. Currently, pronunciation follows Finnish rules. In English, pronunciations may vary, and we are continuously working to improve the app. Tap 50% right side of the syllable area for add +1 point (correct answer) or 40% left side for no point.
