Fun with Directions Lite is a ground-breaking app for the iPAD, designed to provide a fun and engaging way to practice listening, following directions, working memory and the auditory processing of language. From the simplest of directions (“Touch the cat”) to the more complex (“Give the boy without a hat or glasses, something round that grows on trees and can be red or green.”) your child can grow and learn with this game over time. Colorful, vivid art and animations against a white background combine to create a complete game experience without visual clutter. Sound effects and surprises keep the game engaging! This app is a great choice for a toddler/preschooler, or any young child who would like to practice listening to or reading directions!
Included in the Lite version are two concepts: “give” and “touch.” It allows 2 users to have their data tracked, plus one guest user to play.
Features include settings for data tracking, automatic vs. manual advance to the next direction, touch/drag OR touch/tap option, text on/off, (to practice reading vs. listening) and the desired level of play: easy, intermediate, and advanced.
An added bonus that is included in this app is the optional “Superstar Direction” which allows additional practice for remembering (“What did you have to do?”) but also expressive language. The child’s response is recorded and played back. Superstar Directions are surprise questions that can be set to a variety of intervals, or turned off.

Fun with directions
*SLP*
This is an excellent app. I have many language delayed and auditory processing diordered students that will love learning through the use of this app. As an itinerant SLP this is a great addition to my materials that won't require me to carry around one more item. Thanks!
Love the activities, but needs to keep data and allow more users

This is a much needed app for following directions! Thank you! However, it could really use a data tracker that is built in for each student as well as the ability to have more than three users.
A GREAT app!!

This is a terrific app! I will definitely get the full version. My daughter is obsessed with it.
Wow!

I am a speech therapist, mom, and strong advocate for parents. My son loved the lite version! The .99 version was well worth it! I would give it 5 stars but there is no way to change from 1-2-3 step directions. Love that you can turn words on and off. Would be great if you could delay the pictures (I.e. Direction then visuals!). This has such potential. $9.99 is too expensive for most parents though. Too bad there is not a professional versus home version. When or if you make those changes I will make sure that parents and colleagues know about the potential for this app. Awesome!
Great sample

This lite version gives you lots to try and has sold me. I hope to get the full version soon.
Great app with lots of uses.

I love this app for youngsters...with and without language challenges. Great thinking game for listening and following directions. Great For learning categories, function, pronouns. Fun prediction game where the child has to find a hidden animal behind doors. Such great potential to use for delayed kids and kids on the spectrum. Always a highlight of my therapy sessions.
Slow it down!

Generally this is a nice adjunct to therapy for following directions. However, I find that I have to repeat the directions. Your speaker's delivery is way too fast.
Best directions app!

The best thing about worksheets in a digital manner! A variety of directions like pick the object above, under, or touch the red box ect. Excellent to use with any person who needs extra help with cognition, speech, and understanding simple tasks and directions.
Nice directional app

Good reinforcement for teaching directions, seemed a little touchy on the drag and drop. Had to make several attempts to drag the object to the target area, otherwise nice little app.
