Our app targets the ten most complex clusters, including three-element clusters and complex two-element clusters. It includes 968 photographs depicting 88 words, 440 phrases and 440 sentences. Children may select motivating themes based on specific animals, activities and sports. A randomization option presents the photographs in mixed order. Furthermore, children can engage in self-monitoring and view short reward videos if they achieve a high level of accuracy. SLPs have the option to monitor progress through recordings and data collection over time, all of which can be backed up on a computer or emailed. All words in this app were carefully selected for the above complex clusters. Ideally, the targets also include early-developing sounds in the medial or final word position. For instance, among /skw-/ words are “squad,” “squeaky” and “squeeze.” We did not select “square” or “squabble” because the final sounds may distract from the challenging initial clusters. Additionally, the phrases and sentences were judiciously chosen. As much as possible, they are loaded with early-developing sounds so that the child may focus on the cluster target. For example, the /fl-/ phrase “white floppy hat” allows the child to focus on the /fl-/ target because it is surrounded by the early sounds, /w t p h/. Likewise, the /fl-/ sentence “We took a flight to Maine” provides a facilitative context.

The app uses bright visual cues and enticing audio cues to help children learn. It helps children develop organizational skills, logical order, verbal recollection, and cause and effect relationships. Long term use has shown that Speech Sequencing can help children understand everyday events and build a memory recall. The app also lets parents, teachers, or therapists keep track of the child's progress. Here are some of the app's features: 12 sequences, four of which are free and eight of which are available for purchase Fun audio and visual support and encouragement A seconds to completion timer Audio cues that guide the child through the sequences Visual supports like green light up target icons.

Educational Features: Built in seconds to complete a sequence displays progress Controls to turn off audio/music or timer, to customize the app. Personal story: As a SLPA student, father and primary caregiver of my now 14 year old Autistic son, I have over the years used the sequencing in his schools when he was three through six years. It greatly helped him, and he was nonverbal at three and now he can talk and communicate wonderfully. Sequencing helped him organize his thoughts, recall events and speak and then write sentences in a logical order. Narrative speech was difficult and many hours spent sequencing stories cognitively and logically and verbally helped him talk about his day. First I did this, then this happened at school and finally this happened at lunchtime. I am also the creator with the help of my autistic son ZOTTZ - Z Occupational Therapy Toolz - an OT fine motor skill development intelligent device with bluetooth connectivity and Apps.
