Auditory Memory Ride vs Speech Therapy 3

****Auditory Memory Ride is a great tool I will use on a regular basis because it is flexible (I can easily control what it does for each specific child), entertaining, and hierarchical in its skill building. It is a fun "ride" for students to take as they work to improve receptive language and auditory memory. I love the feature of presenting the stimulus with and without background noise, as well as the length of time between the stimulus being presented and when they answer. (Stephanie M.S.CCC-SLP, blogger)**** ****Auditory Memory Ride is a fantastic app that directly targets auditory memory in a number of different contexts. (Nikky Heyman, SLP, blogger)**** The Auditory Memory Ride app is a comprehensive and fun app for students aged six to 13 with central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) or other related disorders (e.g., receptive language disorder or autism). The Auditory Memory Ride app includes over 1000 stimuli with pre-recorded audio and the ability to introduce background noise. The app includes both recognition and recall tasks with the ability to delay the presentation of the stimuli. There are four modes of delay, including No delay, 5-second delay, 10-second delay, and 15-second delay. Students will practice their auditory memory by recognizing and recalling the following: •Digits and numbers (e.g., recalling three digits or recalling two largest digits in the field of five (9 levels of difficulty) •Words and sentences (e.g., recognizing/recalling two unrelated words or recognizing/recalling five to seven-word sentences (10 levels of difficulty) •Details (e.g., recognizing/recalling two objects with two details (four levels of difficulty) •Paragraphs (six levels): Level 1 Yes/No Questions—three to four sentence paragraphs Level 2 Multiple Choice Questions—three to four-sentence paragraphs Level 3 Open-Ended Questions—three to four-sentence paragraphs Level 4 Yes/No Questions—five to seven-sentence paragraphs Level 5 Multiple Choice Questions—five to seven-sentence paragraphs Level 6 Open-Ended Questions—five to seven-sentence paragraphs Auditory Memory refers to the ability to retain and recall what was heard. Functional auditory memory is critical for following increasingly complex directions, acquiring and expanding vocabulary and knowledge, and for becoming literate. Children with auditory processing disorder struggle with tasks involving auditory memory. They have difficulty retaining auditory information, such as verbal directions or recalling stories. Research is still needed in the area of central auditory processing disorder; however, most individuals will benefit from procedures that target the acoustic signal and from procedures that target language. Comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary approach are important aspects of the treatment of individuals with central auditory processing disorder (ASHA 2005). Other apps developed by Virtual Speech Center for central auditory processing disorder include Auditory Workout, Auditory Processing Studio, and School of Multi-Step Directions.

From the developers of the only clinically-validated language therapy application MITA that was downloaded by over 3 million families, ImagiRation brings you a series of Speech Therapy apps: + Speech Therapy Step 1 – Preverbal exercises + Speech Therapy Step 2 – Learn to sequence sounds + Speech Therapy Step 3 – Learn to say 500+ words + Speech Therapy Step 4 –Learn to say complex words + Speech Therapy Step 5 – Record your own model words and exercise articulation + Speech Therapy Step 6 – Learn to say complete sentences ________________________________ Speech Therapy Step 3 is for children who can speak most sounds and want to build up their vocabulary. HOW IT WORKS? Speech Therapy Step 3 uses 500+ prerecorded video exercises in 50+ categories. These videos encourage children to mirror words’ pronunciation. A proprietary AI algorithm measures similarity between model words and children’s vocalizations. Improvements are rewarded with reinforcers and PlayTime. This technique was demonstrated to improve speech production in toddlers, late talkers (speech delay), children with Apraxia of Speech, Stuttering, Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder, Dysarthria. Each video exercise is followed by a word puzzle designed to reinforce learning new words. Improvements in puzzle performance are rewarded with reinforcers and a longer PlayTime. LEARN WITH SPEECH THERAPY STEP 3 + The only speech therapy app that rewards your child proportionally to the improvement of their pronunciation. + Uses scientifically proven video modeling for effective speech development. + Voice-activated functionality provides a fun, interactive learning experience. + The app basic version is completely FREE! + No ads. SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN LEARNING TECHNIQUES Speech Therapy Step 3 uses video modeling to create an immersive learning environment. When children watch model videos in real time, their MIRROR NEURONS are engaged. This is scientifically proven to be highly effective in speech development. FROM THE DEVELOPERS OF THE CLINICALLY-VALIDATED LANGUAGE THERAPY APPLICATION MITA Speech Therapy Step 3 is developed by a neuroscientist from Boston University Dr. A. Vyshedskiy, Speech and Language Therapist Y. Bolotovsky, a Harvard-educated early-child-development specialist R. Dunn, MIT-educated J. Elgart, and a group of award-winning artists and developers.
