"This is the app that is going to pave the way for converting speech therapists to the digital age." - Ryan Knoblauch, SLP, The Speech Knob GETTING STARTED IS AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3 Target higher-level expressive language, pragmatic, problem-solving, speech, and cognitive-communication goals with open-ended conversation starters. Here’s how it works. 1) CHOOSE YOUR CATEGORIES. Tailor your experience with specific topics like Food or Health, or select all topics for free-flowing discussion that could go anywhere! You can always change the settings to see only age-appropriate categories for children, teens, or adults. 2) START THE CONVERSATION. Look at the picture, then touch any of the 10 buttons to see a question. The questions on the left are simpler (like “What is…?”) while the ones on the right are more complex (“How do you know…?”). Hear the question aloud, record your own audio, and score answers as you go. 3) USE YOUR STRATEGIES. While taking turns discussing the answers to the questions, use your word-finding strategies, smooth speech techniques, or other personalized therapy approaches to communicate more clearly. ALL DONE? E-mail an automatically generated summary of your results, along with any audio, or share the results to a PDF, file storage, printer, or copy/paste. GET EVERY FEATURE YOU NEED IN ONE EASY APP - 275+ vivid photos, with 10 questions per photo, for over 2,750 possible questions - 10 languages: English, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Zulu - 11 categories full of real-world topics including daily life, hobbies, current events, social issues, health concerns, and much more - Record audio at any time with just a tap - Perfect for treating language, cognitive-communication, pragmatic, and speech disorders - Great as stimulus material to work on fluency, articulation, eye contact, and word-finding strategies in spontaneous speech - No subscriptions, no monthly bills, no Wi-Fi needed BETTER DISCUSSIONS MEAN BETTER PRACTICE.

Great app for lots of speech goals

I love conversation therapy and the way it's designed really let's you utilize it to accomplish many goals. I've used it obviously as conversation starters but the variety of prompts provided really give you many options. Also the pictures and prompts in general are targeted to adults and helps preserve dignity in the therapy process by not forcing them to use things that are too child like. I'm a grad student in speech pathology and as I continue in my career I hope to be able to purchase more of these apps. I just wish they were less expensive!

Targets variety of language skills using practical and interesting topics

I find myself using this app more and more. My patients and I find the topics and photos very engaging, and the questions provide opportunities to work on a variety of language skills ranging from single word responses to conversational exchanges. It provides a very nice extension to the Tactus Naming app as patients move from single words to more complex constructions. Recently, I've used it to generate topics for patients working on sentence-level writing skills, and it worked really well for that, too.

This app is fabulous for developing and practicing conversational skills. Engaging photos within a large number of categories and ten prompts allow the learner to explore a variety of conversational skills and answer inferential questions. I have used this app with my ASD students to encourage them to go beyond requesting so they can learn how to describe, answer questions and comment. Unlike other apps that work on receptive skills (i.e. making choices), this app truly targets expressive ability. Oh, and data collection is included.
