Comprehension Therapy is a professional speech therapy app that targets auditory and reading comprehension of single words in 5 languages. *****Enlightening! ***** Superb! ***** A Wonderful Tool! ***** Exceptional App! Designed to help people with aphasia and cognitive deficits from stroke and other brain injuries, it is also a valuable tool for older children with special needs including autism. 3 user-friendly modes include Listen, Read, and Listen&Read to target individualized goals. The app automatically adjusts difficulty based on performance, allowing for independent practice. Built-in scoring, hints, and a results summary that can be e-mailed to the therapist in report format make therapy easy! Over 500 nouns, 100 verbs, and 100 adjectives are paired with full-color photographs, recorded voice, and clear text for hours of therapy. You can add your own images too! **Try it for FREE as part of Language Therapy Lite or buy this app in our 4-in-1 Language Therapy*** Features 3 modes: - "Listen": match an auditory stimulus (spoken word) to a picture - "Read": match a written stimulus (printed word) to a picture - "Listen & Read": match an auditory stimulus (spoken word) to a written word Over 700 clear full-color photographs of functional vocabulary selected by a Speech-Language Pathologist 10 categories of nouns including animals, foods, objects, concepts, places, people, body parts and more; select which categories are targeted Select from 2, 3, 4, or 6 photos on the screen or use the "Auto" feature to automatically adjust the field size based on performance 3 levels of difficulty adjust the relatedness of foils (semantic and phonemic) to move from Easy to Hard Aphasia-friendly interface avoids use of professional jargon and features clear symbols for independent use by children and adults Child-friendly mode eliminates references to alcohol and violence as well as disables links to outside sites (iTunes & social media) Real recorded voice provides 5 choices of languages with neutral accent in slow, natural speech for easy comprehension in English (US/Canada), English (UK), Spanish, German, and French Smooth and automatic transitions to the next set allow for multiple repetitions in far less time than it takes to select and lay out photo flash cards, while still allowing you to move forward and back to review answers or skip ahead Automatic scoring tracks success and progress on-screen Results can be e-mailed in table and report-ready format so clients can keep their therapist informed of their progress for telepractice and therapists can send results to themselves for charting later, using the copy-and-paste ready format to decrease documentation time All Tactus Therapy Solutions Apps participate in the 50% off Volume Purchase Program, so talk to your school about buying in bulk!

More functional than carrying card decks!

In the acute care setting, we don't often have the time to complete full standardized testing with our patients. This app not only is able to help me assess patient's functioning level, it helps me do it in several languages. No longer do I have to rely on my elementary bi-lingual skills. As if that's not enough, the app completes the evaluation write up for me! It has been a huge time saver for me personally. Our department is now looking at purchasing an iPad specifically for the TherAppy apps. I also strongly recommend this to patients following discharge for carryover activities. By having them email me the summary, I can evaluate progress without having to see the patient. I've used this app with pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics. Across the board, the most common response is "More iPad, please!"Lindsey, M.S., CCC/SLP

This application offers speech therapists a "go-to" tool when working with aphasic patients, and patients with receptive difficulties. Pictures are clear, easy to see, and functional. It offers a range of levels of difficulty (i.e., easy, medium, hard), as well as, options related to field size in order to simplify or complicate the task. The app also provides the option to quantify the number of trials of the desired task in order to allow consistent data collection. Another bonus is the data collected from the task can easily be saved or emailed to a specified account in order to allow easy tracking of progress. Affordable expansion packs provide verbs and adjectives. Only request I have, is that the SLP could choose what category the pictures used come from (i.e., all food or all transportation or mix categories). Great job! Looking forward to Expressive TherAppy release.

I use this app as an SLP in the schools. It’s very flexible so it can be adjusted for each student according to need and is also nice for probing receptive vocabulary skills. The pictures are high quality photographs of FUNCTIONAL vocabulary. The options for customization include difficulty, number of trials, child-friendly, and field size. Data collection is included and can be emailed to track progress. There are no longer in-app expansion packs available for verbs and adjectives...even better...since the last update, they are included! This is a nice app for SLPs in school or medical seeting.

This is a nice app for basic listening comprehension presented in three formats to change up the requirements and difficulty. I am using it with two specific patients who present with aphasia, and although both are moderate for comprehension issues and expression, they are sailing through the app without too much difficulty. I'm hoping that your developers will consider making the words more complex, branch into phrasing (although then it may be like your reading app) or consider difficulty levels for milder CVA's, TBI, post concussion syndrome, etc. Thanks in advance!
