SmallTalk Oral Motor Exercises Reviews

Valuable

Bykr Bayb

After my husband had a stroke in 2008, Medicare purchased a computer for him to use for communication and speech therapy. They paid about $8,500. The hardware was a small Apple laptop, without any of the Apple software. The software was entirely by Lingraphica. The same software as this app, and the other Lingraphica apps being offered here for free. These apps are a comprehensive collection of speech related software. Some of the apps have a large selection of common phrases, which you can select, to have the computer speak the phrase for you. It allows you to easily communicate just about anything you would need to navigate through your day. The most valuable portions for my husband have been the therapy related parts. In some of the apps, you can watch short video clips of a woman's mouth, as she clearly speaks words and phrases. This makes it easy to mimic her mouth movements, to learn the correct way to pronounce the words. In this app, you see short video clips of a woman's mouth, as she does various exercises to strengthen the facial muscles necessary for speech. There is a voiceover which explains each exercise. You can do each one as often as you like, over and over if necessary. These are the same exercises my husband was doing under the guidance of the speech therapists at a top rated rehabilitation hospital right after his stroke. When the insurance stopped paying for rehab, we were able to continue his speech therapy on our own with Lingraphica. I highly recommend this software to anyone with speech impairment. It makes a great accompaniment to traditional speech therapy, but it is an absolute must have for anyone without insurance provided therapy. You can't put a price on the sound of your loved one's voice.

Great APP for speech therapy

This is an excellent APP for oral motor exercises. It would be even better if the was a way to score the clients progress. During the next update please add a scoring chart of some kind. Thanks!

Amazing App

Absolutely love this app! I'm currently a speech student and it has helped me with practicing oral motor exercises. Thank you!

Needs Update!

This is a useful app for teaching oral motor movements. It also provides a solid base for a home exercise program; however, it glitches EVERY TIME it is opened and then shuts itself down after one exercise. Please update the software for this great app!

Stopped working....

Excellent app

I use this app for my patients who need visual modeling. If the do well with this, I go to Lingraphica and get them a dedicated communication device to try at no cost. (Really). Their devices are great for communication and for therapy.
