Speech Therapy: L 1.02 Apk

Speech Therapy: L is an all inclusive, FREE speech therapy app designed for both parents and professionals. This app was created by a practicing, speech language pathologist. She understands how much practice is needed for articulation (speech) therapy and parents really have all the power to make the biggest difference. However, parents don't always have access to everything they need. Speech therapy can also be expensive and this is frustrating for everyone!! To reach more families, she made this app for a VERY affordable price so everyone can get learning today.

This app is VERY different than any other app on the market made for speech therapy practice at home.

I was tired of children with articulation needs NOT making progress! I took a good, long look at the materials available for parents. While shiny cards and fancy apps look fun, they are NOT what children need. Articulation practice should be natural, happen throughout the day, and occur with common words that your child frequently says.

So, I created this not so fancy app to help parents reach their goals!

In order for your child to make progress with articulation goals, he/she needs to be able to say the desired sounds within words and then practice that skill in a functional setting such as at home using words he/she actually says! For example, a child may say L correctly in the word "ladybug" while playing a game; however, he/she most likely won't say that word again for weeks or months. Not really functional.....

On the other hand, if a child practices L by saying "lick" while eating ice cream, carryover of progress is likely to happen!

This articulation app is created with this philosophy in mind. It will take a bit more work for parents, but it will pay off in the end!

What's Included:

Tutorials & videos on how to say L
Step-by-step instruction on how to teach your child L
Effective teaching cues used by speech therapists
Printable materials for speech practice
Speech practice at the syllable, word, and sentence level!
Easy tips on how to incorporate speech practice into daily life
Motivation charts
Picture flashcards for quick practice

What's Different About This App:

This app does not have just one game that a child may get bored with quickly
This app does require that you PLAY with your child
We give ideas and support as you practice L at home
We provide all the materials and game ideas you need to be successful

Who should use this app:

Motivated parents whose children are having difficulty saying L
Children who are already in speech therapy and need to work on carryover
Children who have been working on L for a long time!
Children who don't qualify for speech services for L even though they have trouble saying the sound!
Speech language pathologist who want word lists, teaching techniques, and flashcards at their fingertips

Why This Approach?
This app is designed with your child's speech progress and your time in mind! For a child to be able to learn and say a sound correctly, he/she must learn how to say the sound independently and then be able to generalize that ability to everyday speech. Apps that are just full of games where a child simply names a picture is good practice to learn HOW to say a sound; however, it doesn't help them remember to say it correctly as they talk outside the app. There is no carryover. To help solve this problem, we created this app! We explain clearly how to say L, how to teach it to your child, and then how to practice effectively! It will require some 1:1 time with your child but it will be worth it. We promise :)

Enjoy!

This app is a supplemental, home program. If you have concerns about your child, we recommend a consultation by a speech language pathologist before beginning any home program.
