Just downloaded the app and I am so disappointed because there is no sound. It seems like a great and very well put together resource but it wasnt free so I expected it to do what it claimed.

What SLPs have to say...
"“It held my preschooler’s interest for about 10 minutes. She exhibits final consonant deletion (sic) and she willingly imitated the words. She enjoyed tapping the picture, imitating the word and swiping. Overall, it is a valuable tool for the Speech Toolbox and highly recommended.”
- Ricki Block, MS, CCC-SLP. Speech Pathologist since 1976 and certified member of the ASLHA.
“The syllables are arranged in a hierarchical order, which is hugely important. Parents can use this app to practice at home what was taught in therapy."
- Tatyana Elleseff, MA CCC-SLP at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
“NACD Home Speech Therapist offers a wonderful opportunity for organized and leveled speech production practice.”
- Jackie Bryla is a school-based SLPA in California.
Developed by the National Association for Child Development team, including a certified speech-language pathologist, the Apraxia app provides choices of different phonemes to target and moves through a progression of levels that challenge motor planning for speech.
Working at the syllable level, it begins at the production of single syllables and progresses through increasingly difficult production sequences all the way to the production of sequences of random syllables.
** FEATURES **
• Choose from 8 different consonant groups (for a total of 19 consonant sounds) to target.
• For each group, choose from 8 levels to practice
• Detailed instructions explain how to choose an appropriate consonant group and practice level.
• Move through a logical progression of 8 different levels for motor planning for speech.
• Illustrations and audio provided for each syllable.
• Option to repeat levels, reset, or move to next level.
• Can also be used for straight articulation drill for particular phonemes.
* NEW PROGRESS TRACKING OPTION REQUIRES IN APP PURCHASE. PROGRESS TRACKING IS NOT INCLUDED WITH BUNDLE OR INDIVIDUAL APP, IT HAS TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY*
• Track and save the progress for each user so that you can resume each consonant group and level from where you left off. Great for SLPs who wants to use this for multiple users.
• Sharing your progress via email directly from the app allows for communication between therapist and parent. For parents, practice at home and email your progress to therapist.

No sound
No sound
Just purchased this app for my iPad Latest OS and the sound doesnt work! Frustrating for an app thats supposed to assist with speech therapy.
Progress!!!!
My 3 year old has childhood apraxia. We started using this app and he keeps popping out new words. The graphics are fun. He enjoys going through it himself and touching the icon to make it say the word and he repeats. Very well thought of app. Nicely categorized into similar consonant groups and different levels in each group to make it more challenging as the child progresses. Thank you for this tool to help further my childs speech.
Great therapy tool!
As both a mom and an SLP, I say: Yes, yes, yes!
My kid loves it
Over the past year weve downloaded many apps to help our child with phonics. None has he been more engaged and had more fun. This is an easy to use and fun app for our 7 year old.
Apraxia Speech Therapy
After solving a few technical errors, I found this to be a terrific program and I have been using it with most of my students. It has a good variety of speech sounds and levels. It may seem a bit dull for older kids but my little ones love it!
Good priced app
For the low cost , this app gives nice visual and audio material to practice sound sequencing. I had a problem with the sound initially and contacted customer service. They were very prompt in their reply and helped solve the issue. Of course I would like more features, such as recording capabilities and other sound combination options, but at $4.99, I wasnt expecting such a range.
