Verb Toolbox
Comprehension & Naming Therapy
$11.99 · Designed for iPad
Verb Toolbox is a professional speech therapy app designed for older children and adults with comprehension and/or word-finding difficulties.
It targets listening and reading comprehension of verbs, verb retrieval and naming as well as verb production in sentences.
Verb Toolbox has 6 activities:
Comprehension
Listen: In the activity, the person is required to understand the spoken verb and match it to the corresponding picture. There is a choice of 2, 3, 4 or 6 pictures.
Read: In this activity, the person is required to read and understand the written verb and match it to the corresponding picture. There is a choice of 2, 3, 4 or 6 pictures.
Naming & Sentence Production
Repeat: This activity uses an evidence-based treatment approach called Errorless Learning. The app repeats the name of the verb 3 times and asks the user to repeat it 3 times.
Describe: This activity uses an evidence-based treatment approach called Semantic Feature Analysis. There are 6 questions designed to prompt the user to describe each feature of the action/verb and ultimately improve their naming/verb retrieval.
Elaborate: This activity is based on a treatment approach called Response Elaboration Therapy. It uses 'Wh' questions (Who, What, Where, Why) to help the user to expand their answers when describing the picture.
Assessment
Verb Test: A fully customisable test which allows you to choose the verbs you wish to include. Keep track of client progress over time by emailing result summaries or by checking the in-built record of scores.
