I have been a long time speech therapy app enthusiast and I write a yearly SLP App List
Click here for the 2018 Version
This page highlights my absolute favorite apps that I use the most in therapy every week! I serve on the Smarty Ears Advisory Board and I have also done numerous app reviews for a variety of SLP app developers.
I recently unlinked my past reviews because most of the apps I wrote about have been updated. I will link to updated reviews when they are available.
Check out my favorite apps below! This post contains affiliate links and prices may vary due to developer sales and updates.
When I look for speech therapy apps I look for the following:
-
Data collection abilities
-
Articulation Apps- full flash card apps (with all phonemes, separating vocalic r) with additional features (games, matching, phrase/sentence level, and story level).
-
Easy to use and set up
-
Additional features (such as recording abilities, homework pages, report generating, ect...).
-
Price: Do not expect a full speech therapy app with all of the above listed features to be cheap! Many hours (writing the content, creating the images, formatting, testing, updating, ect...) goes into these! For example: Let's say you bought a full articulation app (with all the bells and whistles) for $50.00. Compare that to the price of buying ALL of the separate articulation card decks + additional games, you would be looking at at price tag of over $150.00!! It's such a good investment, especially if you travel between campuses/clinics!!
