  • FANTASTIC app for SLPs

    *SLP*

    This is one of the most versatile apps that I have found to use with my speech/language therapy clients. The ease with which you can create tasks customized to address specific skills and/or specific client needs makes planning therapy lessons a breeze. I and 7 of the SLPs that work in my school disrict have all purchased this app. This is our "go to" app. I have personally created and added, within the app, 180 specific skill boxes addressing articulation, language, and/or fluency goals. The feature that allows sharing of any boxes created through a simple e-mail link is a great feature. My elementary and middle school clients ask for SpeechBox by name during therapy sessions. They love the ability to move the cards and search through a box to choose their own task card. They also take great pleasure in "throwing away" a card once they have successfully responded to the card they chose. I also really like it that if an incorrect response is given I can pinch the card and have it remain in the box for a second chance response. The skills that can be taught in speech/language therapy using this app are limited only by your own imagination. I can't say enough about how practical, fun, and user friendly this app is. And, I have yet to find an app with better app support.

  • Great App & Update!

    I've been using this app for over a year now with my clients of varying ages. (The perks of being a SLP at an outpatient clinic, I see everyone from EI to geriatric.) I feel like the $20 for all of the phonemes and various categories up front has been a great investment, but now the ability to add new boxes has got me super excited. I've already picked up the prepositions and action words boxes - having the app do the work for me is such a great timesaver. I will probably pick up the blends boxes next since I have a few clients working on those goals now. Overall a great app, and I love the customization features the most. I'm able to make a box for each client that comes through and the kids really get a kick out of opening the app and finding their own "box" to play with. I would love to see where else this app goes in the future and hope they start adding more to their suite of super user friendly speech apps!

  • Unreliable

    SLP2013!

    I bought the original application, then after having it for a while, I was told I would now have to have a subscription. I did not want to do it. Recently, my husband informed me that we had an unknown monthly charge of $7.99. I traced it back on my bills as far as October 2019. I asked the support how long they had been charging me and they said they did not have that information. I thought well as long as I have it, I should use it, so I tried today. At $7.99, it is supposed to be the professional level. I downloaded the /th/ words and the download only gave me 4 cards for all /th/ positions. I downloaded /r/ and got a nice selection, but 4 of the cards repeatedly came back after they were swiped away. I was unable to download the Action card Speech Box. What an unreliable application! I would like a reimbursement for all the months I have been charged for the subscription.

  • My Favorite App!

    EvieM.

    I LOVE Speech Box. This app has very clear photos in color that are organized by Sounds, Sounds within Words, and Categories. The photos have simple written words on each item, and are spoken very clearly for students to imitate. The photos appeal to students of all ages. It’s easy to do sound drill and language facilitation with this app! I especially love the Category and Seasonal Boxes, such as Halloween, Christmas, Winter, and Summer. There are also boxes for Occupations, Prepositions, and Action words, among many others. The price for the Boxes is also very affordable! Speech Box is so much Fun!

  • Engaging and effective

    A wonderful addition to my son’s speech therapy routine. He eagerly engages with the app, enjoying the interactive experience of selecting and swiping through the high-quality images to practice his target words. The app’s design and customizable features allow us to tailor sessions to his specific needs, making practice both effective and enjoyable. It’s heartening to see him so motivated and confident during our at-home sessions, and I appreciate how SpeechBox turns learning into a fun and rewarding activity. 

  • A few questions about this app

    Lapping Wong

    First of all, my kid really loves it and has been using it for a long time, but recently there are a few issues I want to complain about since updated the app, it really makes worse. I wish you hadn’t updated this app.1. The image won’t go away after being used, I am sure that reuse photo switch is off.2. How can I delete an image from the custom boxes?
