What Experts Are Saying

Trusted by Speech-Language Pathologists for clinical excellence.

★★★★★

"This app is well thought out and engaging. The game show theme is versatile so it can be used with a variety of age ranges... I was thrilled to see that the categories followed very closely with the format of the EET (Expanding Expressions Tool) so this app would be a great companion to that system."

Maureen Wilson

MS, CCC-SLP
★★★★★

"Once you get it right, you have the option of recording yourself repeating the sentence to practice speaking correctly. I LOVE this option."

Lauren LaCour

Speech-Language Pathologist
★★★★★

"Great app, but may be best for older kids that can read (as I had to do for this second grader). Not a big deal, but if you were looking for an app that required independence with the younger crowd, this app would not meet that need."
