This is one of the most useful apps I own. My students enjoy the pictures. I can use it for a variety of purposes to meet student goals. I highly recommend it to anyone working with special needs children.
Great app

I am a speech-language therapist and love using this app for my kids to create basic sentence structures, practice perspective taking, creating thought bubbles, reasoning, and using as inspiration for story content. Great photos and great content!! I do however wish that there was an easy way to locate or select specific photos.
Essential therapy app

If you are going to buy one app to use in speech and language therapy, it should be this one. I use it daily with the greatest variety of young clients.
Great for older students w/autism

I have used this app with my older students w/ autism (6+years). They like the predictable pattern of the sentence structure- subject + ing verb + direct object. I use the "hint" setting first. Soon, the student is able manage the items independently. Photos are colorful and show children engaged in enjoyable activities. Language Builder offers a nice range of products with varying levels of difficulty.
Excellent

Mobile Education has been hard at work creating an app that builds receptive and expressive language skills.The colorful pictures are engaging.The recording feature is a plus; giving a child auditory stimulation by recording and playing back their responses.The hint button gives the child an added visual prompt if they need help with developing their sentences.As a Speech Therapist, I highly recommend this app!!
Love This App!

Every sentence is kept correct, yet in simple format, alleviating frustration and confusion for students! I love that kids can use their own voice and that hints are an option. By being able to use their own voice, this not only makes it fun, but helps kids work on their joint language skills. Another plus is the skill level option given in this app. I appreciated that there was leeway and not an exact answer for each picture in order to be correct. Good job, Education Builder!
Nicely done

This app is great for those that have langage delays as well as anyone needing to learn sentence structures. I love that there are three levels and many different categories. This app also has hints to help children that need a little nudge in the right direction. Great work!
