TpT and I have been great friends for a very long time. Back when I began this blog and was creating materials and hosting them through Google, etc. I thought that there had to be a better way to host the materials. When I ran across an article about the now-famous Deanna Jump and looked into this "Teachers pay Teachers thing". It wasn't long before some of my now-favorite SLP bloggers were populating their shops with amazing materials that have forever transformed my therapy and career!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However... I did hesitate to make my first purchases on TpT! When I finally did make the move from Freebie Downloader to Paid Materials Purchaser I found some of the best materials! My first purchase was from the amazing Nicole Allison at <a href="http://allisonspeechpeeps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Allison's Speech Peeps</a>. Her "<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/K-5-Common-Core-Standards-Supporting-IEP-Goals-for-English-Language-Arts-308329" target="_blank">K-5 Common Core Standards Supporting IEP Goals for English Language Arts</a>" has become a go-to for me in developing CCSS-aligned goals and has, to no surprise to me, become the #1 Best-Selling SLP material on TpT!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also purchased an amazing social skills material from Jenna at <a href="http://thespeechroomnews.com/" target="_blank">Speech Room News</a>. "<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Yellow-Brick-Road-Social-Skills-437841" target="_blank">Yellow Brick Road Social Skills</a>" has been used with all of my elementary students with pragmatic language skills goals and has been a huge hit. It's very motivating and thorough!</div>

My new <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Sublime-Speech/Category/No-Print" target="_blank">No-Print</a> materials have saved me a TON of time this year. My favorite is my "<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/No-Print-I-Mustache-You-a-Question-Answering-and-Formulating-Questions-1068686" target="_blank">No Print I 'Mustache' You a Question: Answering and Formulating Questions</a>" material! These No-Print materials are perfect for use with Smart Boards, iPads, and computers with PDF readers and they act like apps! Plus... they are MUCH cheaper than apps with the same amount of material included!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall this is a useful and straightforward app for all ages, particularly the adult population and any clients who have been diagnosed with Aphasia. Here is my quick pros/improvements list:</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I would like to be able to use this with multiple clients at one time. At this time only one client can be selected at a time.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">It would be great to be able to record clients in the app to assess sentence creation and other expressive tasks.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I would like the got it/missed displayed with all cues so you can track accuracy with each cue type.</li>

You know that good ol' standby, "hangman"? It's a great game but a totally worn out format. <a href="http://erikxraj.com/">Erik X. Raj</a> has re-vamped this classic to appeal to our articulation clients of now in his new app, "<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/secret-mission-articulation/id822330124?mt=8">Secret Mission Articulation</a>". Here's more about this newbie app...<br />
<br /></div>

This fun and animated screen welcomes you to this app. There are commonly misarticulated sounds ready for you in every position and blends! This app is a collection of 600 (no typo!) sound-specific words for articulation practice. And the huge bonus is... it is totally MOTIVATING (gasp)! This app has quickly become a favorite of my elementary artic students.<br />
<br />

Simply choose a sound and then a position (or mixed which is awesome for carryover or multiple clients!)<br />

Students are then shown this secret mission screen. You can choose to hear the hilarious Erik Raj tell you about your mission by choosing "Hear your secret mission" at the top of the screen. Or, you can be boring and just begin guessing letters. For added fun, and practice, we say an articulation word before guessing and they are only allowed to guess a letter that is in the word they just said. Otherwise, you can just play the plain ol' method which is much like hangman.<br />

So, overall, this is one of my <b><u>favorite </u></b>artic apps for 2nd grade and above (or your smarty pants 1st graders)! Let's be honest, I totally love Erik's other apps (I Dare You Articulation, Multiple Choice Articulation, and Listen Close Articulation) because they spice up Articulation therapy for my students and they look forward to the apps after a week of drill! They are excellent for RtI work, quick and easy to use, and affordable for families for at-home practice! Here is a quick run-down of Pros/Improvements:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Dear CF,<br />
Thank you so much for <a href="http://sublimespeech.blogspot.com/2014/03/dear-slp-love-your-cfy-self.html">my letter</a>. It could not have come at a better time. Because of your thoughtful and encouraging letter, I thought it only fair that I return the favor. You see, I know what it's like to be in your shoes because I was (literally, and those are some awesome kicks!). You've accepted and started your first "big kid" job after grad school and it's, honestly, absolutely terrifying. It's sort of supposed to be. In our field, our <b><i>awesome</i></b> field, of speech-language pathology, people take years upon <b><u>YEARS</u></b> to become experts in their particular corner of the field. Even then, they continue to ask questions and learn. There's just way too much information about communication, cognition, feeding, etc. to know it after 6 or so years in school. Sure, you graduated, passed the praxis, and got a job... but you aren't finished learning yet. This year is the first year of many for you in this job so get cozy...<br />
<br />
When I think back on my CFY, I think about how overwhelming it all was. What I want to tell you is to take a breath, relax, and know that you will be so much more confident in a year! Although grad school does a lot to prepare your brain <i>for</i> this job, I would urge you to put that on the back burner and be open to learning <u>on</u> the job. You know more than you think you do and you don't need a book to do it. Sure, consult a book here and there for answers that you need but don't rely solely on them.<br />
<br />
Then there is the actual therapy session... don't let it scare you! Quit spending every "free" moment you have scripting out your day so thoroughly. No matter how much you plan, your client will probably throw off your plan in the first five minutes of your session. Calm down a little and accept that not everything will go perfectly. Sometimes a general plan with a few therapy ideas will work out better than a step-by-step roadmap of a session. Be creative in therapy and in your preparation. You don't have to buy fancy new materials to be successful in therapy. Creating custom materials and using the things that are already around you can be some of the most beneficial and rich sessions that you will have. Plus, you'll learn more from your students than they will learn from you. Soak it in!<br />
<br />
There is also so much to learn from your coworkers and the trials and successes that come with the non-therapy portion of your job. We should just get one thing out of the way: You should know that no matter which setting you work in, you will not only be an SLP. You will also be a teacher, counselor, behaviorist, paperwork specialist, team member, and so much more. Also, please don't be afraid to ask questions. However, you should write down every question you ask and every answer you get because you don't want to ask the same thing twice. Ask a mentor, a coworker, an administrator... just make sure you ask! Oh, I should also probably mention that your "mentor" doesn't <b><i><u>have</u></i></b> to be the person assigned to you. Just make sure you have one that is knowledgable, accessible, caring, and <b>AWESOME</b>! There will be so many changes during your career. Be flexible and ready to embrace change. (There's no avoiding it!) You will change too. Never rule out a certain population or setting because you will probably end up there at some point... and you'll probably <u style="font-weight: bold;">love</u> it!<br />
<br />
This "job" will be so much more than that. It will be a challenge and a huge success. It will push you to continue learning and to strive for more every day. It will rock your world. You will be overwhelmed and then on top of the world. You'll be crushed and then you'll be celebrating. You'll have absolutely no idea and then you'll be an expert. You'll turn down jobs and accept others. You will <b>be the</b> CF and then you'll be <i>supervising</i> CFs! It will be such a ride!<br />
<br />
Get excited and hold on tight. This year may be tough and you may be overwhelmed now but before you know it you'll be doing incredible things... we've done <b>incredible</b> things!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Your Future SLP Self<br />
<br />

Here at Sublime Speech, we like to help prevent the greatest travesties that plague our modern world. One of these is the dreaded mullet. Once considered an acceptable form of hair styling, the mullet has outstayed its welcome atop the heads of humans. Worse than adult mullets are (insert gasp) BABY MULLETS! Yes, those poor and helpless babies with mullets. They are not able to stand up for themselves so today I am sharing my top 5 ways to help prevent baby mullets. I'm not sure if you've heard yet, but:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9dGkQxkZNRUYE8PN15GVGwCQVaSeYfStWa-zrXAXfr1RB1JEraIqPhHablnRH9kKGtM1wxzWUtPyIChkNUrM5Lwx5U8HfCPhxPUrj-fz7qDlO9AwpMewDu58hiGNYwrppP9BecCPEwQ8/s1600/Mullet.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9dGkQxkZNRUYE8PN15GVGwCQVaSeYfStWa-zrXAXfr1RB1JEraIqPhHablnRH9kKGtM1wxzWUtPyIChkNUrM5Lwx5U8HfCPhxPUrj-fz7qDlO9AwpMewDu58hiGNYwrppP9BecCPEwQ8/s1600/Mullet.png" height="273" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore, many of my top 5 easy ways to avoid baby mullets are very closely related to copyright and TpT. Here we go:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Instead of e-mailing and sharing free products that you have found on TpT or blogs, send the link to the product! Even though they are free, sharing them is still typically against copyright.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Never, ever, ever.... e-mail a product that you paid for and downloaded from TpT! This is a huge cause of the mullet epidemic! Aside from the baby mullets caused by this... it's also just very wrong! Copyright is copyright... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Have you heard about multiple licensure? When you purchase through TpT, you can choose to purchase additional licenses! This allows you to share the product with additional people for about half the cost of the original price! This is PERFECT for districts/companies looking to share great TpT resources with multiple staff members!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Apparently tipping can also help curtail the baby/child mullet epidemic:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0a_2pHoYYp7PXNySxetVakbO-MUqPzkrJzKiKQCQUGkAOiCZNe3-OLHG0zewYe9Bhj8ZNyTv_byKSAchiy-re68C1lxcmqUBRoXUChvVNbhueBEzJEh6XeXXsHJLt13r1cG6DVGF-C6Q/s1600/mullet-tip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0a_2pHoYYp7PXNySxetVakbO-MUqPzkrJzKiKQCQUGkAOiCZNe3-OLHG0zewYe9Bhj8ZNyTv_byKSAchiy-re68C1lxcmqUBRoXUChvVNbhueBEzJEh6XeXXsHJLt13r1cG6DVGF-C6Q/s1600/mullet-tip.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. I've said it before, but it's worth a repeat and a #1 spot:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Share links... not files! </span></u></b></div>
Bloggers and TpT Authors work very hard to give you great free and affordable materials to use. Don't make them sad by sharing their hard work with others at no cost.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
So... please help us to keep mullets off of the heads of babies and children by following these easy 5 tips! After all, there are some styles from the 1980s that should stay in the 1980s!</div>

For each student, you choose which activity/activities they are going to work on and on what level(s). Included are K/1, 2/3, and 4/5 levels for each activity.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For each level, you can choose receptive (with possible answers provided) or expressive without options given. You also have the ability to record and playback answers given by clients. with receptive, tracking is automatic. If the student doesn't choose the correct response, you have the ability to have them choose until they get it correct. However - this does impact their percentage so you may look into that before choosing this option. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, this has been a good app that I use with my language students! Here is my quick pros/improvements list:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b><b>Pros:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nice, colorful, realistic stimulus photos.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Clear voice for instruction.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Data tracking included in the app with the ability to print/e-mail the progress.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Keeps data stored on the app for each student!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can change from receptive to expressive without exiting the game.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The reinforcer games are motivating for students and can be turned on or off!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can customize by adding your own vocab.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall a solid... great for SLPs with elementary and middle school language clients!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Improvements:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is currently a small glitch in the antonyms section - hopefully this will be updated in future releases.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I wish there were an option to only count first attempts on the receptive sections. The data is a little </span>skewed<span style="font-family: inherit;"> if you typically only count 1st attempt in your data collection.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall a good new app! It is currently available for $29.99 in the app store:</span><br />

Dear SLP,<br />
It's a little crazy in your world right now, isn't it? I see you with file folders stacked high, post-it notes adorning your computer screen, and a to-do list a mile long. You have more clients and meetings than you have hours in the day. You're taking work home with you and staying up late. Needless to say, your tank is running a little empty these days. It's easy to see why. <br />
<br />
I know that you've been second-guessing your career choice lately. Well, at least your current position. You're wondering if it's all worth it and why you do it for such little pay. "Isn't there a career out there that pays more for so much less worry and work?", you ask regularly. It is really hard to watch you questioning your passion like this. So, I wanted to write you this little note.<br />
<br />
I wanted to remind you of the reason you decided to pursue this degree. Remember that moment when you decided that becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist was what you were meant to do? That felt amazing! You knew that you would be helping people for a living. You knew that lives would be changed and enhanced because you were involved. Your friends seemed to be wandering around aimlessly but you had chosen an interesting path and were so excited. You eagerly attended classes and soaked up each word that came your way. You furiously jotted down notes and studied until the wee hours of the morning. Volunteering and learning as much as possible readied you for this career.<br />
<br />
Do you remember your first official "client"? Do you remember the nervous hours spent preparing for that first session and how amazing it felt to finally be DOING what you had studied so long to do? It was awesome. It was REALLY awesome! I bet you can still remember each of your first clients' names and diagnoses! Each client brought a new challenge and new learning. All on top of classes and research and more! It was a lot but you did it!<br />
<br />
How about that first practicum experience? You were moving up in the world and you were so close to graduation that you could taste it! Practicums were so exciting, weren't they? You rocked those practicums! Don't get me wrong, they were tough and you learned so much. But, you TOTALLY rocked them! It was exciting and fulfilling. Yes, it was overwhelming... in that completely-overwhelmed-but-loving-every-minute-of-it sort of overwhelming. The weeks flew by and then they were over and you moved on, secretly wishing that you could stay and work there forever!<br />
<br />
Before you knew it, you had graduated and accepted your first position and were over the moon! You had made it! See, that's where I am now... I'm your CFY self. I'm loving my first year as an official SLP! It's been tough, a lot to learn. But, I'm making a difference... <u>you</u> made a difference. I'm so in awe of you and all you've learned. I'm terrified that I won't figure it out but seeing you comforts me. You're a <i>total</i> <i>rockstar</i> SLP. Your clients love you, your staff respects you, and you totally know your stuff!<br />
<br />
I know that this job isn't easy. I also know that it's completely worth it! To each client, you are worth it! You change and enhance lives with your expertise. I can't wait to grow into who you are now. That must be awesome and so completely rewarding! You see, from my perspective, you are incredible! I know that in the eyes of many others, you are as well. Keep up the amazing work. When it all gets to be a little too much, read this letter from me again. Remember why you decided on this career and the journey that you've been on... then get back to work! <br />
<br />
You'll do incredible things... we'll do incredible things!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Your CFY Self<br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="http://tactustherapy.com/">Tactus Therapy</a> has a reputation for quality apps for adult rehab. When I met a few of their representatives at ASHA this year, I had no idea that they made apps that could also be used with a student population. Recently I was invited to try out a few for this review! I was able to try out Question TherAppy and Conversation TherAppy and was pleasantly surprised! Here's more...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first app that I'll discuss is "<a href="http://tactustherapy.com/apps/question/">Question TherAppy</a>" which is described as apps that target both asking & answering questions. This 2-in-1 app (of Asking TherAppy & Answering TherAppy) works well together as users advance from answering simple yes/no questions to asking well-formed questions. </div>

In the "Investigate" portion, errorless learning & discovery are promoted. Question formats and expansion are demonstrated to the user here. As you can see above, each wh portion selected adds to the sentence and demonstrates how to both construct and understand statements and wh questions. Then you are able to match the wh questions with the portion of the sentence that they correspond with in the following screen. This is simple, yet awesome!</div>

In "Yes/No" several formats are used to target Yes/No question creation. You can choose from a field of 4, utilize a spinner with prompts, or answer with no prompting available. I love that each section allows for these different formats in an increasing hierarchy of difficulty. This allows for more carry-over practice with students.</div>

You can again choose your levels in this module. Receptively, you can have 2, 3, or 4 choices displayed. In expressive, you are given data tracking below the question. You can easily switch between response modes and have separate scoring for each. In the expressive mode there is recording, self-scoring, and free response.</div>

All of the photos above show the different questions for each of the 10 possible areas. You can limit which ones are available at the start of any session. These sessions can have up to 6 users at a time participating and scoring separately but without having to switch stimulus to switch scoring! (Genius!) Simply tap each user to activate their scoring portion at the top of the screen when using multiple users. The 10 types of questions targeted are describe, define, remember, decide, feel, infer, predict, narrate, evaluate, & brainstorm. You can utilize up to 50 user profiles which keep track of names, questions, notes & session scores! You can also create/edit question text, enter your own questions (in settings), adjust minimum age level for each picture/question, and hide/show pictures to customize sessions. This app is incredibly customizable!</div>

Now, for my "Trick of the Trade" I wanted to give you some great ways to utilize Google Chrome and Google Drive to make your life easier and to enhance therapy! Here are my top 5 ways to utilize Chrome/Drive for therapy and in general!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can utilize google forms for creating data tracking forms like the one above. Simply create a form that allows you to choose the client (I just use initials), the date/time, minutes seen, etc. and a data box and you're all set. This form automatically puts the submitted information into an excel-like document that you can view and/or print out! This form is accessible from any computer or tablet which makes it very portable! This has really helped me to stay organized!</div>

So, why should you use Chrome over other browsers like Explorer, Firefox, and Safari? Here are a few reasons. When logged in, your bookmarks, history, apps, themes, and much more are automatically synced to any computer that you log in to. This is really nice for traveling SLPs and for syncing home and work preferences. Also, if where you work wipes your machine each year like they do at mine, your bookmarks will be lost using other browsers. With Chrome they are hosted remotely so nothing will be lost. Also, Chrome has "Apps" which are shown in the photo above. You can look for free apps to utilize in therapy and/or to help you with your paperwork, etc. Some of the ones I am looking into are pictured above including an age calculator and IEP Writer (interesting!). Chrome also has "extensions" like "Youtube Options" that removes the ads and surrounding videos on YouTube! Perfect for showing YouTube in sessions without those sketchy "R Rated" movie ads and weird video suggestions afterwards!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Utilize Google Drive - Docs to create Office-type documents including Documents, Presentation, Spreadsheets, Forms, and Drawings! These creations can be edited remotely by as many as you'd like through the share feature! This can make collaboration with staff, parents, and other SLPs much easier! You can create documents to utilize in therapy as well and access it through Drive from any computer! You can also upload any Microsoft Office product into Drive which converts it, if selected, to a Google Doc automatically! Perfect for storing documents and for editing and sharing documents with others!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I stated above, you can collaborate with others utilizing Google Drive/Docs. After uploading or creating a document, you can customize the share options. You can share the link or publicly. It can also remain private or be shared with specific e-mails only. I have utilized this to create professional development presentations with other group members as well as working collaboratively with other SpEd team members on accommodations for testing and other scheduling information. It's great to have something that automatically saves your work as you edit! No lost work! I encourage you to try out drive!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Utilizing Google+ can be a great way to connect with other SLPs, friends, coworkers, and family. For SLP purposes, you can follow other SLP bloggers and interact with them through communities and by following them in your circles. You will first need to "upgrade" to Google+ (free to do) and update your profile with a bit of information. I suggest at least adding a current photo, place of work, and any other information you feel comfortable sharing. Then, I would suggest finding some people to follow in your circles and google communities to join! A few that I follow are <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/110817588866965291965">Speech and Language Therapy</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/100493067912302632679">Disability & Assistive Technology Today</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/100253990938855747456">Pediatric & School Based Therapy Group on Google+</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/113018638134660266670">EdTech</a>, and more! Dive in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, there are 5 ways to utilize Google Chrome and Drive/Docs/Communities for yourself and in therapy! I hope it gives you some good ideas about the amazing resources that Google has created! Please let me know how you utilize it and/or any questions that you may have!</div>

At ASHA this past fall, I met the folks from the <a href="http://autismlanguagelearning.net/index.html">Autism Language Learning</a> app at their booth in the exhibit hall. I had not heard of the app, although they have had it out for a while so I spent some time talking with them and checking it out. They were kind enough to invite me to check out the updated version of both apps (Autism Language Learning Series : Actions and Series 2: Yes/No Questions) Here's more...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://autismlanguagelearning.net/page_5.html">Series I: Actions</a> was designed to target actions and pronouns using video. It is designed in a hierarchy as shown below. You can also target simple wh questions, possessive pronouns, and past tense verbs (after the video has played) through this app. This app includes 60 actions, 90+ short video clips, data collection, customizable settings, recording option, and limited background noise. You can also purchase the ability to add your own videos.</div>

The great thing about this app is that it uses videos! I don't know about you but some of my kiddos just don't get it unless they see it in action. Well, we can't swim at school but I can show them a video of swimming. The first section is Verb+ing so it will show "playing" (as pictured above) and the narrator will say it and the video will play for about 5 seconds.</div>

Common facts is more difficult and abstract - perfect for more advanced students and reasoning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, both apps are very nice and practical for therapy with students with Autism as well as students who learn better from videos than from still photos. Here is my quick pros/improvements list:</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pros:</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">The videos are great for instruction and easier to understand for actions than a photo would be.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I like how each module is broken down and placed in a hierarchy of skill difficulty.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">In-app data tracking is helpful for individual student data.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The videos are relatively short.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Free demo version of <u> Series I</u> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/autism-language-learning-series/id634880005?mt=8">Series II</a> of this app are available - great to check it out before purchasing. I LOVE when companies do this! No blind purchasing!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Improvements:</b></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I would like to be able to keep data for groups.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The videos can be a TINY bit long... I know, I'm getting picky here. But 3ish seconds is about all you really need.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The price for the app is a little bit high for Series I. If they could bring it under $20, I think it would be more practical for SLPs.</li>

My SLP Blogger buddies Felice, Carrie, and Jenn are Consultants for Jamberry which is sold through parties much like 31 bags, Mary Kay, and tupperware! This week, Felice is hosting a party for me! I'm stoked to host a bash and spread the word about this fun product! I love that these vinyl wraps can be applied for about $4 per application and last 2-3 weeks on fingers and 4-6 weeks on toes! Much cheaper and easier to do than a mani/pedi at a spa!</div>

It's super-easy to do! You simply heat up the strip (I use a small space heater but you can use a blow dryer) and place them on your nails. Press on and file the ends... and BAM! It's done! I'm not a girly-girl and rarely keep my nails painted because it's so time-consuming and just chips off in a day or two. But, I just LOVE these! I've been rocking some grey dots and mint dots since trying them a few weeks ago! Here are a few of my favorite designs that are in my cart, ready to check out:</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall this is a nice app for use with young children or those with severe disabilities. Here is my quick pros/improvements list:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pros:</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Photos of food items as the stimulus.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Use of ASL.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Customizable for each child.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Up to 5 users and data can be saved.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Good price for a nice app ($2.99 at the publication of this review).</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Maxi is a cute animation.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Improvements:</b></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">This app can be very slow to respond, particularly in the reinforcer between each correct answer. My students (elementary-aged students with severe Autism) did not have the patience for it and were easily frustrated by the time between turns. Being able to turn off the reinforcer animation would be great.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The background/scene is very busy which can be distracting to some students - if at least the grass in front of Maxi were lighter to allow the stimulus to shine through a bit more that would be helpful.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">This app was one of the largest files on my iPad, most likely due to the graphics and real photos. However, for the amount of content it includes, it takes up much too much memory at this time for me.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Describing is one of the most difficult tasks for my students with language impairments. They often give very nonspecific descriptions or are completely unable to complete the task. When we are first learning how to describe appropriately I give them hints and require only a few areas of description. Then, as they improve their skills, I require more of them. To add a little bit of fun to this task, we use a die to play this freebie that I have for you today: Mustache Dice Descriptions!</div>

Several game-play versions are available with this therapy aid. Typically I give the student or group a vocabulary word. The students then take turns rolling a die and describing the vocabulary word using the area of description that they roll. As an advanced version, we roll a die and that is the only area that they do not need to give. We sometimes play for points (based on the number rolled for points) or other games listed in the product. This game goes very well with most game boards and general reinforcers as well!</div>

Sublime Speech - Danielle Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493188130287037105noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364685033060848125.post-33001062304279053242014-02-17T23:51:00.000-06:002014-02-17T23:51:23.940-06:00AAC: Encouragement and Training of Teachers and Support Staff<div style="text-align: center;">
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is the reason that I decided to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. The moment that I saw a young student communicate using a voice output device, I was hooked. No longer did I want to be a pediatrician or a gifted education teacher... I wanted to help children find their voices! And that is what I have set out to do. My thesis, school practicum, and all of my employment positions have involved and extensive amount of AAC. However, my passion for and experience with AAC is not universal, even amongst my fellow SLPs. We all have differing passions within our profession. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also found that there is a very wide range of experience with and knowledge about AAC amongst the teachers and other support staff that work with students utilizing AAC. Many times, I have found myself becoming frustrated with these individuals if I observe that the device or other AAC is not being utilized. However, I must remind myself that they are not disregarding the student's AAC or intentionally sabotaging the implementation of AAC. Rather, they are typically uninformed about AAC and implementation strategies or may simply need training and encouragement in AAC to be more successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who trains teachers and support staff? Typically, SLPs are the individuals charged with organizing training and materials for staff. We are all allotted a differing amount of time and resources to complete this training. Here are ideas for and information about training possibilities from professional development sessions to a quick handout and everything in-between.</div>
<br />
<b>Professional Development Session (1+ hours):</b><br />
If you are lucky enough to be given time to sit down with teachers or support staff, take it! Getting everybody on the same page regarding introductory AAC information as well as basic implementation strategies is priceless. Make sure to make it informative and interactive. Basic information should include:<br />
<ul>
<li>What is AAC and examples of types. Bring with you any available devices and low/mid/high tech AAC examples that you can find.</li>
<li>Basic implementation strategies including vocabulary, ways to elicit communication, and more.</li>
<li>Why AAC implementation is important. I like to make this portion interactive by having staff attempt to communicate with a partner about something as simple as what they had for lunch or their favorite movie. One staff member can talk, one cannot talk, and one can utilize low or high tech AAC to communicate. We then discuss the activity.</li>
<li>We then do a Q&A or celebrations/struggles roundtable discussion. A roundtable may also include other SLPs, parents, teachers, etc.</li>
</ul>
<b>Classroom meeting (>1 hour):</b><br />
Having a classroom or team meeting time to discuss AAC is also a valuable amount of time. While you have considerably less time than a full PD session, a lot of information can be covered in less than an hour. Again, keep this time informative and interactive:<br />
<ul>
<li>What is AAC and examples of types. Bring with you devices and low/mid/high tech AAC examples that are pertinent to the students that the staff work directly with.</li>
<li>Basic implementation strategies including vocabulary, ways to elicit communication, etc.</li>
<li>Why AAC implementation is important. I use a shortened version of the PD session activity. I ask one staff member a question that they answer. Then I ask another question to a different staff member after instructing them that they are not able to use their hands or mouth to communicate their answer. Finally, I provide a device or low-tech AAC option to a third staff member and ask them a question. A brief discussion of this follows.</li>
<li>Finally a Q&A and/or brief training on the AAC used by students that the staff works directly with. This can be done as a 1-on-1 training or a group discussion and training depending on needs.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Individual training (30min-1 hour):</b></div>
<div>
Providing individual training to teachers or staff can be extremely beneficial. I find this to be incredibly important for paraprofessionals working with nonverbal students and regular education teachers who have not experienced AAC within their classrooms. This training is more personalized and informal. However, some basic elements of this time should include:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Information about the device or other AAC that the student works with. Make sure to have the device or AAC items available during this time. This should not be when the student could be using the device - find a time before/after school or on a day that the student is absent.</li>
<li>Implementation strategies pertinent to the particular student being discussed. Suggest areas and ways to integrate vocabulary and communication into the student's current schedule and curriculum.</li>
<li>Q&A about the student, their device(s), AAC creation and implementation, and device programming. Ensure that the staff member understands basic device programming if the student utilizes a voice output communication device and understands basic augmenting of curricular materials.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Handout provision and/or long-distance training (no face-to-face interaction required):</b></div>
</div>
<div>
While it would be great to have the time and willingness of staff to participate in face-to-face training sessions, we do not live in a perfect world. Oftentimes, SLPs are forced to train staff through handouts and e-mail. While this is not ideal, any opportunity to inform staff should be taken advantage of. Inclusion of the following is important:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>What is AAC and examples of types. Send links to videos or other multimedia. Most developers of devices have free and accessible videos online.</li>
<li>Basic implementation strategies including vocabulary, ways to elicit communication, and more.</li>
<li>Explanation about why AAC is important and examples of success stories (again, many are available online).</li>
<li>Make yourself available for Q&A through e-mail/phone/etc. Simply opening the line of communication can be a huge step forward and beneficial for students.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regardless of the amount of time you have, a general handout can be beneficial. I have put together a <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/AAC-Brochure-for-Teachers-and-Suport-Staff-1120473">simple brochure</a> that is available free to you. Please feel free to print copies and utilize as you like! It can be found permanently on my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Sublime-Speech">TpT Store</a>. (Please do not modify this document in any way - it may be included in presentations or documents provided to staff)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have found many other online sources that have been beneficial in my training of staff. Here are a few of my favorites:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall it is important to remember that great AAC implementation cannot be done by one person. It is a true team effort including SLPs, teachers, support staff, and parents. If the team needs additional training and information regarding AAC to be effective implementers, the SLP should work to ensure that the training occurs in the best way possible for that team.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was given the opportunity to check out some materials from <a href="http://www.speechpage.com/main.html">SpeechPage</a> this school year. With my new caseload of children with severe Autism who are nonverbal and utilize AAC to students with articulation errors only, diverse materials are music to my ears. Here are the products that I previewed:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing that I got to take a look at is the "<a href="http://www.speechpage.com/catalog/item/2038142/3470977.htm">Tic Tac Toe w/S, R, &/or L</a>". These boards have 126 different pictures in a seven SpeechPage set. They are in heavy-duty laminate which is great! They are also already hole-punched for easy storage in binders. We use wet-erase markers or tokens when we are playing. I also love that students with different sounds can play together.

I also had the opportunity to use the "<a href="http://www.speechpage.com/catalog/item/2644326/5161018.htm">Intro to AAC Requesting Puzzle Activity</a>". Each set (they have several available) has four request for puzzle pieces SpeechPages. As you can see below, there is a light outline of the puzzle on the sheet with velcro on it. Students then request a brightly colored puzzle piece with velcro on the back in a few different ways. We began by touching/handing the square symbol/item picture to me to request the piece. Then we transferred the skill over to their device. It was a much easier transfer of skills than other methods we had tried. Also, the puzzles are motivating for students and they enjoyed the activity. A therapy suggestion sheet is also included. Each set retails for $26.98 (on sale at the time of this post for $21.58).</div>

Finally, I have had the opportunity to trial "<a href="http://www.speechpage.com/catalog/item/2644326/9137355.htm">AAC Ask for 2-Step Outcomes</a>" SpeechPages. These are designed to allow the client to expressively communicate two specific requests to gain a desired outcome. We utilized the bubbles and ball sets with one of my clients on multiple occasions. They were able to tell me to dip the wand and blow or lift the ball and throw it. We were then able to transfer this skill/vocabulary to their device and add to it as they could use other steps. It has twelve different activities with 2 images each. It also comes with a therapy suggestion sheet included. This set retails for $21.99 (on sale at the time of this post for $19.99).</div>

It's the day of the big reveal. You've worked on that beautiful evaluation report for hours, diligently checking and re-checking standard scores and comparing them to the manual to ensure that you are providing an accurate picture of your client's language abilities. As your team sits down at the conference table with the client's parents you introduce yourself as the Speech-Language Pathologist and the long list of abbreviations and jargon begins. The parents sit there, question-less and obviously confused about the words flying about the room. It becomes obvious: the've been jargonized!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some things from my time in graduate school stick out more than others. One of these is a professor explaining that jargon can be powerful and dangerous depending on when it is used. She advised us to bring ourselves to whatever level the parent was on when explaining progress, test results, etc. As I took my first position as an SLP this message stuck. I did my best to look at the parents more than my report and to use terms that made sense to them and adequately explained the document. Sadly, I know this is not always the case. I have had friends call wanting me to re-explain an evaluation or report that they received for their child because the did not quite understand all of the information that it had contained. I would be mortified if I ever pushed a parent to make that late-night phone call to their SLP friend because I had to use my "fancy" SLP jargon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are 5 ways to make sure that you avoid the jargon trap:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Professional jargon is a specialized language for those within the same profession. It's like any other language... it is not understood by those that do not speak that language. Unless the person that you are speaking with is in the same profession as yourself, do not assume that they would understand the jargon that you utilize within the profession. It is better to use too little jargon than too much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Avoid the acronyms. When talking about test names, subtests, scales, and evaluation elements, avoid using acronyms. Acronyms shorten written report length by requiring fewer characters but rarely shorten spoken word by enough to warrant the confusion that it incites. When speaking to those outside of your profession, say the full term.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Ensure that your reports can be understood and interpreted by both professionals and parents. Your reports should contain all of the statistical information necessary for diagnosis and treatment. They should also contain enough summarization and recommendation to assist parents in their knowledge of the contents of your report. A report cannot be all standard scores and percentile ranks... just as it cannot be completely narrative in nature. A balance of the two will satisfy all audiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Think about the jargon utilized on social media. TMI, ROFL, TBH, LOL, SMH... Think about the first time you received a text or saw a message that contained an unknown acronym like these. What did you need to do to discover what it meant? You either had to consult Google or admit that you were not as "cool" as the person on the other side of the message and **gasp** ask! Can you imagine how intimidating it would be to stop an IEP or evaluation meeting to ask one of the professionals across the table what their acronym or term meant? Keep in mind that humans are more likely to go along without understanding what is being said rather than admitting that they do not understand. Don't leave parents in the dark!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. A rule of thumb that I have for the use of jargon is: If plain language can be used instead of jargon without changing the meaning of the message you are relaying, plain language is the better choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So... Jargonize with your fellow SLPs. Chat about PRs and ask questions about the FS portion of the CELF-5... but avoid that Jargon Trap when speaking with your client's loved ones.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I was asked to attend a PD opportunity about iPads and Special Needs. Unfortunately, I knew much of what was talked about and ended up being the token "share" person to talk about how I was using my iPad with students with special needs. However, there was one thing that I learned about that has so helped me! It made missing and making up those 3+ hours of therapy sessions <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">completely</u> worth it! It's called <span style="font-size: x-large;">"Guided Access"</span> and it's amazing!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
How many times have you started working on a therapy app and the student exits the app and brings up a more preferred activity in about 2 seconds while you were jotting down some notes? How about the AAC user who would rather watch videos or play Angry Birds than utilize his iPad as his voice? I have several of these students this year. It's amazing what they know and how they use that knowledge to start a speech session mutiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here's how I've curtailed that and have increased the language and speech production of my AAC users at the same time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guided Access is an accessibility feature on iPads and iPhones (I assume iPods too?). It allows for the locking of apps and parts/features of apps while they are in use. Here's how to set it up and how I utilize it:</div>

When in an app that you'd like to use GA with, simply triple-click on your home button to bring up this view. From here you can select specific areas that cannot be accessed (the greyed out portions seen above). They will still be visible but will have a light grey box/circle over them indicating that they are no accessible (above right photo). If you simply want to keep the student in the app but don't need to limit areas of the app, you will not select areas but will simply click "begin" on the top right corner. You can also turn off the touch of the iPad, motion, and hardware buttons. These are nice if you need to keep the student from changing volume or changing the orientation. </div>

Once GA is enabled, you are basically "locked in" to the app. To end GA, simply triple-click the home button again and enter your passcode. The screen will look like the picture above on the right again. You can then adjust the greyed portions, other options, or end GA. </div>

It's that simple! <b><i><u>Guided Access has been a lifesaver for me. </u></i></b> Here's a few ways I've utilized it:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~ Keeping students IN the app. In particular, we've used it to keep a student's AAC app up and running and keeping them from exiting their voice to play games. It has also helped to keep these students utilizing their AAC app throughout the day and encourages their paraprofessionals to utilize the app more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~ De-activating the "repeat", "finish", and "record" functions in some speech and language apps when they aren't being used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~De-activating the edit and change vocabulary functions in AAC apps to keep students from deleting and changing their app without assistance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~De-activating the address bar in internet browsers to keep students on one pre-determined web page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, this feature is one of my <b>FAVORITES</b>! It has allowed me to concentrate on therapy when using an iPad rather than policing what my students are pressing while in apps. It has also decreased frustrations and temptations with our students that utilize their iPad for AAC. We were routinely taking the iPad, changing it back to their AAC app, and giving it back to the student only to have to do it again when they decided that PBS Kids was more fun than talking or doing their work (weird, right?). Now they know that when an adult decides that they can utilize their iPad for recreation, the passcode will be entered and they will be able to exit the AAC app.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, check it out! I hope this helps you as it has me!</div>

Now, here's what the lessons look like. You begin the lesson and read through the summary. You can also choose to do the questions without this summary but I find it to be best to read through the story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then click "start" to be taken to the questions. Questions are multiple choice and have a small bit of text and an illustration accompanying. After the student selects their answer, they are shown this screen which says if the answer was right or wrong. You can review the question and choose again if they are wrong or if you would like to discuss the question further.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall this is a very nice and customizable app for use with all ages. Here is my quick pros/improvements list:</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pros:</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nice, colorful, stimulus illustrations.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Customizable skill sets and stories. This means an </span><u>infinite</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> number of </span>possibilities<span style="font-family: inherit;">. You can use this for social stories, to accompany any social language curriculum you use, etc.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Simple backgrounds and illustrations limit distractions.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The included skills are those which are encountered often within the school and community.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Good price for such a customizable app.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Data tracking to some extent - stars shown at the end for correct answers.</li>
</ul>

<b>Improvements:</b></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I would like to be able to keep data for specific students stored in the app... but it's pretty easy to jot down.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I would like some middle-level stories/situations added as the developers work on improvements. I find the current stories and questions to be great for my K-3 crowd and severe students. My 4th graders found it to be a good review but pretty easy.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.virtualspeechcenter.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Virtual Speech Center</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> recently released their "<u><a href="http://www.virtualspeechcenter.com/Resources/articulation_carnival_app.aspx">Articulation Carnival</a></u></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">" which is a comprehensive app for working on all phonemes! This great addition to iTherapy from VSC aims to provide a comprehensive and flexible articulation program to practice pronunciation of ALL English phonemes at the word/phrase/sentence levels. </span><br />
<br />
This is probably my favorite VSC articulation app to date. Here's a bit more about it and some tips:<br />
<br />
This is the opening screen. From here you can access all parts of the app! If you click "Play Games" you can utilize this app as a general reinforcer app for any clients! Awesome!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The included settings are shown here. I love that you can customize the reinforcer game length as well as how many correct productions get a student to the game. When I have larger groups I can pull this number down to 5 or so. For individual therapy/RtI I can up the requirement to the maximum of 10!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you click "start" on the main page you will be brought to this screen to select students. I'm not sure what the maximum amount of students per session is but we haven't hit it yet.<br />

<br />
After clicking "Start" you will have the ability to chose phonemes for the student to practice. Great for mixed-phoneme groups or students working on multiple phonemes. The vocalic /r/ is also divided up which is helpful.<br />

<br />
The stimulus items are presented on screens like this. You can move between phonemes, positions, and word/phrase/sentence in each stimulus item. You can also record/playback student productions, track if they were correct/incorrect/approximate with their production, add notes to the item, and adjust settings without exiting.<br />

The session reports are always available for students. This data can be backed up via various options in the main menu. It will be stored on the app until the app is deleted from your device. Data can be viewed by phoneme or by date and can be shared via e-mail to anybody including parents, teachers, and other SLPs.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, this has been a great app to use with all articulation students! Here is my quick pros/improvements list:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b><b>Pros:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nice, colorful, realistic stimulus photos.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Clear voice.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ability to select specific sounds for each student in a group session.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Several points of customization included in settings and stimulus words including the ability to add custom words to the app!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Data tracking included in the app with the ability to print/e-mail the progress.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Keeps thorough data stored on the app for each student!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can change from word to phrase to sentence, change phonemes, and change phoneme position without exiting the session.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The carnival reinforcer games are motivating for students!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall a great app... wonderful for SLPs with elementary and middle school artic clients!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Improvements:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You have to manually move between players. No option is given for it to automatically move to the next player.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The background graphics are a bit much and can be distracting.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The ability to shuffle sounds/positions automatically is not there - you must manually shift between sounds and sound positions.</span></li>
</ul>

You can see in the top left that the "support" option allows for additional information/options. I would start by watching the video tutorial included to learn more about using the app. To begin, choose "Practice" and move to this screen where you can choose a player or create/import clients FROM the TRC if you utilize that option. A check mark will appear on selected player. Choose "next" when you have selected the player you will be working with.</div>

You can also adjust the settings from the player area. These include how many photos to show in "Picture Identification", to increase the difficulty in "Picture Identification", how many answers to require in "Divergent Naming" task, Date Format, and modifying the stimulus database. In the Modify Database option you can check/uncheck stimulus items that will be shown.</div>

After selecting a player and pressing "next" you will be taken to this screen to choose which task you would like to target. You can choose from "Picture Identification" which practices auditory identification of almost 300 commonly used items. Clients select the correct item in a visual field of 2-5 photographs.

In "Picture Naming" clients practice naming of the items that are also included in the "Picture Identification" portion. You can record the production as well as take data of correct/incorrect/and correct with cue. This one does not automatically move forward so you can stay on the photo as long as necessary for the task you are completing.</div>

"Divergent Naming" allows you to work on categorization and expressive language. Clients are asked to name 2-6 items that belong in a given category/function. Each item can be marked as correct/incorrect. After the final box is marked, this portion of the app automatically progresses.</div>

This colorful screen welcomes you to this app. There are commonly misarticulated sounds ready for you in every position and blends! This app is a collection of 600 (no typo there!) sound-specific words for articulation practice. And the huge bonus is... it is totally UN-boring! This app has quickly become a favorite of my older artic students. </div>

There will be a countdown and then you will see the mouth of a child open. They will say a word and you will repeat the sequence. Each time, a new word is added to the sequence and the student must remember the string of kids and words. I have my students repeat the word after they tap the child.<br />

When you make a mistake, you are shown your score and the High Score. We typically get 5-7 "rounds" in which is at least 15-28 reps per game. It's highly engaging and very motivating for the students. This is also a great app to recommend to parents who may want to do to practice at home. It's very motivating and the whole family can participate and the student can easily complete the task on their own.</div>

So, overall, this is one of my <b><u>favorite </u></b>artic apps! Let's be honest, I've totally loved the other apps (I Dare You Articulation and Multiple Choice Articulation) from Erik Raj that I have been able to review. They really spice up the droll task of Articulation therapy. They are excellent for RtI work, quick and easy to use, and affordable for families. Here is a quick run-down of Pros/Improvements:</div>
