So you got a new iPad? It’s all very exciting because you’ve heard so many great things about using it in therapy, right? But now what?! This is exactly how I felt when I got my iPad. I’m a poor graduate student who honestly can’t afford very many popular, but expensive applications. So, I set […]

For some reason, I find myself constantly running out of activities to target following directions. Especially activities that can be used year round!

We learned in grad school that AAC is appropriate for anybody who cannot meet 100% of their communication needs in a day. I love many things […]

In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been extremely MIA lately! In the past month, I’ve graduated, started a new job, got ANOTHER puppy, bought a house, went on a vacation to the Dominican Republic, and was in a wedding. I’m.exhausted. So please excuse the lack of posts and new, fun materials! I promise they are […]

Enter in the fabulous “Let’s Be Social” app. According to the app, it models and teaches solving problems, forming friendships, recognizing emotions, and predicting outcomes. Everything in the app was created by SLPs which is […]

Language Trainer looks very different than other Smarty Ears apps that I have. It is very simple, with little to no distractions/extra […]
