This app is professionally designed to systematically enhance your child’s acquisition of language starting at the earliest level. Whether learning English as a first or second language it is designed for use with typically developing toddlers, dual language learners, and children with specific language impairments such as receptive or expressive language delays or autism spectrum disorder.
Designed and tested by a nationally certified speech pathologist with over 30 years experience working with speech and language development, this program uses prompts similar to flash cards, but the words are written, spoken and illustrated to better facilitate organized modeling and development of vocabulary and early word combinations.
As a parent, you can use this app to lead your child through the natural hierarchy of communicative intent, beginning with high impact words, expanding meaning by changing intonation of speech, adding vocabulary including objects, actors and actions, and then developing early syntax, simple combinations of words.
As your child masters one and two word combinations, turn the sounds off and switch to Shuffle mode so that they can practice language production independently, relying on language processing and formulation skills.
