Speech Therapy for Apraxia-4 for Android

11 things about Speech Therapy for Apraxia-4

1. Developed by the National Association for Child Development team, including a certified speech-language pathologist, this app practices articulation at the word level and is a logical follow-up to the original syllable-based app, Speech Therapy for Apraxia.

2. This newer version provides choices of different patterns of articulation within words and moves through a progression of levels that challenge motor planning for speech.

3. Speech Therapy for Apraxia - ENDINGS is intended to be the next step in a progression after the two-syllable words of our previous app, Speech Therapy for Apraxia – 2 Syllable Words has been mastered.

4. • Moves through a logical progression of 8 different levels for motor planning for speech.

5. As with the original Speech Therapy for Apraxia app, this app presents phonemes in simple syllables.

6. It begins at the production of single words with easier patterns of articulation and progresses through increasingly more difficult production sequences all the way to the production of sequences of random words.

7. However, this time the syllables have the consonant sound at the end, allowing for practice of final consonant production.

8. Because the emphasis is on the individual’s production, the parent or therapist should be an active participant, providing the user with feedback, reinforcement, and additional modeling.

9. • Track and save the progress for each user so that you can resume each consonant group and level from where you left off.

10. This app is a fun way to practice basic speech sounds and motor planning.

11. • Detailed instructions explain how to choose an appropriate sound group and practice level.
