This is a collection of apps that are on Kim's iPad and used with children frequently. Any engaging app can be used to enhance and develop communication skills - the trick is to keep the process interactive and "learn together."
Feel free to search by one of these possible uses for communication development:
- target sound sequences
- length of utterance
- syntactic (grammar)
- semantic (vocabulary)
- pragmatic (use of language)
- global effective communication
- interaction & engagement
- narrating/storytelling
- social understanding
- understanding language
- intonation / rhythm
- other
Record you and/or your child's voice and make your own video with a large library of icons, pictures, music, etc. Great for older children.
Great interactive story with special effects and lots of surprises! Move slowly through each page.
Shows different cartoon faces with emotions that animate when touched.
Singing grasshoppers, underground mazes, connect the dots - For some strange reason, children frequently choose this activity.
Lots of different activities that are engaging - Bugs and Buttons is a companion app - Available in a bundle
This app works on grammar and sentence formation. While developed for written expression, it can also be used for verbal expression.
This is similar to the ColorForm sets of yesteryear. After a scene is created with stickers, the scene can become animated.
