Lisp Therapy
Special Today & Saturday
Reg: $24.99 Now $11.99
Lisp Therapy: Lisp Therapy was created with a Certified Speech Language Pathologist and contains a section with visual and audio supports for placement of each sound. Sounds commonly affected by a lisp include /s/ and /z/ for frontal lisp and “sh”, “ch”, and “j” for lateral lisp. In sound practice, the student has the opportunity to practice the sound or sounds he or she is working on. This app also contains a minimal pairs approach to lisp therapy. In this section, two sounds are paired together, like “s” and “sh”, if a student is working on correctly articulating the “s” sound. In the app, the child is shown a picture and word on one side with the “th” sound and one with the “s” sound on the other. The goal is for children to feel the difference between the sounds when producing them, and to strengthen muscles used to make the sounds.
Key App Features:
– Ability to add unlimited users
– Ability to record and play back audio for each sound in practice, minimal pairs, flash card, phrases, and sentences. (*feature in iOS only)
– Ability to record and playback video for each sound in the sound practice section of the app (feature available in *iOS only)
