From www.teachspeechapps.com - March 18, 2015 3:50 PM
Speech therapy apps for iPad developed with certified speech language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers. Teach Speech Apps creates iPad apps to help teach prepositions, pronouns, and rhyming.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Teach Speech Apps encourages learning side-by-side with an engaged adult.


Benefits of Teach Speech Apps:

  • Professional and colorful photographs- Using real images allows Teach Speech apps to be utilized by all ages and learning levels
  • Distraction-free design - clean and simple design allows for focus on the task
  • Affordable apps- Teach Speech recognizes that you may not have a big budget for purchasing apps.  
  • Enriches vocabulary - We start with a base of common words and then add some "stretch" words so the user can learn new words
  • Multi-sensory learning- You can see and hear when an answer is selected, providing great feedback
  • Aligned with the Common Core Standards
