Even though my District doesn't recommend Apple products, iPads are able to be used. I personally pay for the internet on my phone and would for the iPad as well in order to be able to access essential therapy materials. The iPad with all of the apps that have been designed specifically for students with speech-language impairments is a most efficient and motivating tool to use in therapy. We were purchased Chromebooks in my District however, no apps can be put on them and Android devices have a much less comprehensive collection of speech and language applications which my District doesn't pay for . It (along with the apps) has made therapy more diverse in that I can see students in my office in a small group setting and with the iPad and I can also service students right outside their classroom individually which minimizes the time spent out of class and significantly maximizes the number of trials that a student can demonstrate in a 10 minute session individually (25-30 trials) versus in a 20 minute group of 3 (8-10 trials). I have been using my iPhone and buying the apps with the hope of being able to purchase and iPad to continue more diverse and effective therapy approaches. The technology is motivating for my students (as they can record their responses and listen back) and I can tailor specific app programs to individual students. So far the best apps that I have found for the following are: Articulation - Articulation Station (English and Spanish) - Webber Photo Artic Castle - Articulation Essentials - Talkie Language - Fun With Directions - First Phrases - Splingo (vocabulary & syntax activities) - Find It - Wh?'s - Talk Around It - 28 Categories I truly appreciate your consideration of my request!
