App Profile: SLP Minimal Pairs (Full)

When the app is not frozen, which is rarely, it does not provide good results. It simply provides accuracy and a space to write notes but does not provide WHICH words were missed. Would not recommend as is. Might purchase Minimal Pairs academy by Smarty Ears.

I thought I was buying an all inclusive app with an app from smarty ears, but this one actually uses minimal pairs! Offering the lite version also gets an A+ in my book. I would like to see the last section of drill be more interactive for the kids. Even in my boring traditional therapy the kids like to "knock my fingers down" with multiple productions of the same word, so a simple pic. flip or some sort of graphic when tapped would be a great drill reinforcer. I also love the matching game in articulation station. Adding this kind of component with minimal pairs would be a great asset to the app. It is a greaoral, but is missing that interactive component for my young tech. savy students. Like most articulation/phono. apps now, it has a great report function and the appeal for the therapist is clearly well thought out, but nothing most of the articulation apps out at the moment don't already do. I do have to say how impressed I was with the ability to choose the process and specific phonemes within the process, this is definitely a feature other apps do not deliver. Again job well done making a therapist friendly app., including having the data tracking mechanisms oriented so the child is facing you (I find it a bit easier to visually model placement cues:). I will say this was a great value. It delivers a lot of material for a price that is definitely competitive.

I am unhappy with the choice of words for the process deaffrication. Most kids don't substitute /t/ for /sh/, yet this is the sound provided. There are so many good contrast words for /s/ and /sh/. I don't understand why the /t/ sound was selected. Other wise, it is a good program. My bad. The words I was looking for are under depalatization.
