From the makers of "Pocket SLP - Articulation," an application wildly popular with speech therapists, comes a state of the art speech therapy tool specifically designed for parents to help their children with the pronunciation of those notorious Rs.
R is a complex sound that has a reputation for being one of the most difficult to address without consistent direction and practice. Home practice significantly improves the speed and accuracy of progress.
Parents can begin by reading easy to understand tips provided by practicing speech pathologists and viewing highly detailed diagrams for the tricky tongue positioning that R requires.
Then parents can begin using the stimulus cards that allow R practice at the beginning, middle, and end of words. Once your child is making progress with the R words, then parents can choose to include the words within sentences. With over 600 images, there is plenty of practicing to be done!
Best of all though is "The R App for Parents" allows parents to enter the names of their children and track their progress! Parents can "score" their child's responses by selecting "correct, incorrect, or close" buttons. This app will save each practice session and even allows for the results to be emailed to other family members or speech therapists.
