My under-18 caseload has been significantly limited the past few months, so I haven’t been reviewing many children’s apps. However, I did use this app to assess several kids, and I wanted to share my thoughts!
App: Sunny Articulation & Phonology Test
What It Is: An app for assessing articulation and phonological abilities by Smarty Ears.
App: Speech4Good
What It Is: A multi-purpose app featuring a digital speech graph, delayed auditory feedback, and recording options by Balbus Speech.
I’ve used (and even reviewed) apps by this developer before, so I was excited to hear they had a new app coming out and wanted me to review it! Life got in the way, so it has already been out a couple months now, but I am still thrilled to share it with you.
App: Talking Train
What It Is: An app that features a train with an engine and three cars that can be customized to promote story-telling, sequencing, and more by all4mychild.
App: Flashcards by Me
What It Is: A flashcards app with customizable text and image by Laughing Fairy.
App: Speech Cards Professional
What It Is: A flashcards app with customizable text and image by RWH Technology.
Apps that address phonological processes are somewhat rare, so I was excited when SLP TechTools asked if I would review this app! Please feel free to comment below and let me know how this compares to any other phono apps you’ve used!
App: SLP Minimal Pairs
What It Is: An app designed to address phonological and articulation disorders by SLP TechTools.
Ahoy, mateys! I be writin’ a blog message fer ye ’bout apps to use on Speak Like a Scurvy Pirate Day! (Translation: Oh boy, who the heck convinced me to do this?!) Kookoo bananas Bill Binko ‘o LessonPix shanghai’d a few ‘o us bloggers to do pirate-themed posts to celebrate ’tis “holiday,” so here’s me best spin on it. (Thanks postlikeapirate.com for the goofy pirate talk translations.) This post is a bit different than my usual, but I’m hoping it’ll give y’all some fun ideas for Talk Like a Pirate Day on 9/19! If you’re one of those scoundrel SLPs that loves to get kids hyped up then send them on their way, this post (and holiday in general) is for you! I’m going to discuss three apps: one new (to me) pirate-themed one and two that I’ve already reviewed but am adding a “pirate twist” to. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions or other pirate-themed ideas!

To appease the masses, I’ve found an app for both Android and Apple users! Actually, I originally wrote this review after finding it on Google Play and didn’t realize until later that it was also available on iTunes! I was very excited that all of my readers could benefit from this one. Also, I had mentioned to a few of you that I found some Android apps similar to the Toca Boca ones on iDevices–Dr. Panda’s Hospital is definitely one of those. While this app is based on an animal hospital, the game’s set-up is quite similar to Toca Doctor. Here are my thoughts on it:
What It Is: An app for “playing vet” and healing hurt/sick animals by TribePlay.
