This post is all about speech therapy apps
As a speech-language pathologist for 13+ years, I have worked in many different settings including nursing homes, elementary schools, private clinics, in post-acute rehab with traumatic brain injury, and even at the barn using horses to supplement my treatment sessions! I've seen firsthand how important it is for caregivers (parents, sisters, brothers, a loving friend, nurse aid or friend) to supplement traditional speech therapy with activities at home.
This is the missing puzzle piece to making great strides in therapy sessions. The fancy term for carrying over skills learned in the speech room to other settings is "generalization." It holds a lot of weight and importance. Without generalizing skills learned to other settings the time spent in the therapy room is not valuable. We (I am speaking on behalf of other speechies here) need you! Help us to reinforce the concepts we teach into the home and community settings with your loved ones! This blog post will show you some ways to practice speech therapy using apps! This is not meant to replace therapy but to enhance and supplement your speech sessions!
This post is speech therapy apps for professionals and caregviers.
Thank you for reading about speech therapy apps!
