Much needed app for speech therapy – SentenceBuilder™ for iPad Review

As a Speech-Language Pathologist it has been difficult to find apps that actually works on language concepts. For the past two months I have been using the mobile education applications, sentence builder, story builder and question builder. These apps have helped my students work on multiple concepts such as story sequencing, sentence formation, grammar, answering “wh” questions and even articulation. Since these apps allowed the students to record their responses, I’ve incorporated language and speech goals into one lesson. I can have my artic students monitor for correct speech production, and my language students monitor their grammar. The best part about it is that the students are allowed to play back the stories or the sentences and we discuss the errors they made. It always becomes a teachable moment. My favorite part of the sentence builder and question builder apps is the data collection. The apps allow you to choose the level of prompting for each student allowing me to cater to each student’s individual needs. One of my students was so excited about sentence builder that his parents called me to get the name so that they could purchase it. Overall, these are great apps to use with children with language delays and have been extremely useful for my students with Autism. The immediate reinforcement the students receive after answering questions really helped them to stay focused. I would recommend these apps to any educator.
