Today's Giveaway: Comprehension TherAppy ($25 app!)

Today, I'm starting a series of Top Picks giveaways. Some of the apps that have garnered our prestigious, high star ratings are up for grabs!

And I'm kicking off with THREE codes for Comprehension TherAppy.

 

I'm very excited about all of this Top Picks malarkey so instead of babbling nonsensically I'm going to leave the description of this app up to the very wise and insightful views of both Deanne and Heather, who gave this app 4 and a half stars!

Please read their review here to see if this is an app you could put to good use.

You can also try this app for free by clicking the button and downloading Language TherAppy Lite, which is a 4 in 1 trial version of Tactus Therapy's language apps.

 

*From iTunes*

Comprehension TherAppy targets auditory and reading comprehension of single words. Designed to help people with receptive dysphasia and alexia, it is also a valuable tool to treat attention and other cognitive deficits. 3 user-friendly modes include Listen, Read, and Listen&Read to target individualised goals. The app automatically adjusts difficulty based on performance, allowing for independent massed practise. Built-in scoring and a results summary that can be e-mailed to the therapist in copy&paste report format makes therapy easy! Over 500 nouns, 100 verbs, and 100 adjectives with full-colour photographs, recorded voice, and clear text.

Features

3 modes:
- "Listen": match an auditory stimulus (spoken word) to a picture
- "Read": match a written stimulus (printed word) to a picture
- "Listen & Read": match an auditory stimulus (spoken word) to a written word

Over 700 clear full-colour photographs selected by a Speech-Language Therapist included in the app.

10 categories of nouns including animals, foods, objects, concepts, places, people, body parts and more; select which category or categories to target!

Select from 2, 3, 4, or 6 photos on the screen or use the "Auto" feature to automatically adjust the field size based on performance

3 levels of difficulty adjust the relatedness of foils (semantic and phonemic) to move from Easy to Hard

Aphasia-friendly interface avoids use of professional jargon and features clear symbols for independent use

Child-friendly mode eliminates references to alcohol and violence and blocks access to social media and other outside links on the home screen

Real recorded voice provides 3 choices of languages with neutral accent in slow, natural speech for easy comprehension in English (US/Canada), English (UK), French, and Spanish

Client can initiate a repetition of the stimulus as they need it in “Listen” and “Listen&Read” modes

Smooth and automatic transitions to the next set allow for multiple repetitions in far less time than it takes to select and lay out photo flash cards

Automatic scoring tracks success and progress on-screen

Results can be e-mailed in table and report-ready format so clients can keep their therapist informed of their progress and therapists can send results to themselves for charting later, using the copy-and-paste ready format to decrease documentation time

I would live this app because it would be invaluable for my ESOL students.

[Dina Kyle]

This is what I have been looking for for my son. Aiden lost his speech at 18 months. With the help of wonderful teachers and awesome apps, his speech has been improving, but not to the point of back and forth conversation nor Q&A's. His sentences are limited to maybe 3 words now. We can use all the help we can find. Thank you for this offer.

[Jess S]

This would be a great help with my son. The labeling aspect looks wonderful. He needs help with labeling.

[AYSHA]

[Melissa Cassidy]

This app would be great for my son who really struggles with speech and language

[Patty Golden]

just what i've been looking for! my daughter has cognitive issues related to her autism and i need to work with her daily on this! she loves the iPad and will spend the necessary amount of time working if she can work on it!

[Danielle B]

This app would greatly help my daughter with her speech & comprehension.

[Christina]

This would be a great app for Mathieu. He is 16 and his speech is rough around the edges and his reading is nonexistent. Part of his IEP involves using iPad apps to help with this. I think this app is right up his alley from the trial I downloaded. :)

[Leslie Muegge]

I am just starting to use the jpad in therapy with a range of children from early elementary through junior high. I would like to win this app as I can see it being a valuable addition to my iPad tools! Thanks. Leslie

[Choni]

I think this app will help my 5 years old son improve his reading comprehension, thanks for the opportunity

[Spayskdet]

I'd use this app for both SLP and ELL clients. It's been on my wish list for a while.

[Patsy Laningham]

I believe this app would be great for my Autistic son, who also has Apraxia. Apraxia isn't listed in the apps description (likely should be?) and I believe this would be great for him. He loves other apps that say the words and interacts similar to this one, although this app appears to be much more in depth and we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to use and allow him to learn pronunciation and to practice use of so many new words. Thank you.

[Krystal]

I would love this app for my students, Its difficult to find good comprehension apps!

[Jen C]

this app would be great for my son who has speech delays. He loves the iPad, so he will love this app and I will love that he is learning new things! I also teach young readers and any chance they get to use the iPad - they jump at it. I love that it is based on the individual needs and keeps track!

[Melody Aikey]

This app would be great for my speech therapy kids. I did download the lite version. It's very good. Just cannot afford the full version right now.

[Lenore]

I would love to win this app because I teach ESL for kindergarteners.

[Jess S]

We have tried the lite version combo that they have and every single app included in the trial is wonderful and would benefit my son with his communication issues.

[Jennifer]

I have used the lite version of this app with both students and adults that I work with for therapy. I would love to have the full version! It is a great app with great potential to help those in need.

[Deidra]

I would like this app for my daughter who has autism.

[Leslie m. Guzman]
