App Profile: Talk Tales, Simple Sounds

Designed by a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 20 years of experience, this Talk Tales app includes three interactive stories created to help nonverbal and low-verbal children begin to imitate simple sounds. While this app will benefit all toddlers and children learning to make their first sounds (animal sounds and exclamations), it was designed based on motor learning theory to specifically to help children with childhood apraxia or an autism spectrum disorder.
