Smarty Ears recently released their first of many iPhone applications for Speech and Language Pathologists and parents of children with language and articulation disorders.Smarty Ears is a publishing company designed to infuse the use of technology in the field of speech therapy.
Mobile Articulation Probes, or MAP, is one of the first iPhone applications in the field of speech therapy, and is a practical option for articulation therapy and evaluation. MAP can be used for therapy as well as to collect additional information regarding a child’s articulation skills during assessment.
With this app speech pathologists will be able to add an entry for their students and keep track of their articulation performances as well as providing accuracy scores for each session. MAP also displays which specific sounds/words were not produced accurately. With MAP speech therapists move to the next level of data tracking because there is no need to count errors on paper- MAP will do it for you.
MAP provides more than 400 words classified by manner of articulation as well as individual phonemes in all positions of the word. All you have to do is add new user, add new session, select which phonemes or class of phonemes you want to target, select which position of the word you are working on and begin session. MAP is the easy way to show parents their child’s progress in therapy.
Mobile Articulation Probes is available in English and Spanish, and is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch.
