Naming TherAppy- Is a wonderful app that works great for speech therapy in or out of the home. There is over 400 nouns used in this app. First is naming practice where you saying words with hints as needed. Next in the app is describe where you describe things about the picture. You will hear prompting info about many different things to explain the pic. Next is the naming test where you are able to score and report about what is being tested. And last but not least is flashcards which has over 500 pictures. You can touch each card to hear the spoken word if needed. There is a child-friendly mode so no violence or alcohol is shown. This app has helped all three of my children in many different catagories. It's not a childish app at all so can be used with child to adult.
Comprehension TherAppy- Is another great app from Tactus. There is three modes to use. Listen, read, and listen and read. Listen is where you match spoken words to the picture. Read is where you match a printed word to the picture. Listen and read is match a spoken word to the written word. This all helps children in many different ways all depending on where your child is at. With my boys I use Listen but with my daughter I can use all three. It helps with recognizing words, picture, and sounds of letters. It comes with nouns but you can purchase verbs and adjectives in-app if wanted. I have not purchased them yet but do plan too. You can select 2,3,4, or 6photos on each screen or let the app chose for you based on how your doing. Everything is said very clearly and easily understood. Again can be used with child or adult since not a childish app.
Writing TherAppy- Another great!!! I use this app with my daughter. Perfect for her since she's learning to spell. You can do fill in the blank, copy, spell what you see, and spell what you hear. Right now I'm using fill in the blank but will soon moving up. If your looking for a great spelling app this is definatly it. Again adult or child and can be used for years. You can get hints on each level as needed and there is trial and error format that is perfect for children.
I'm very surprised these apps haven't been more talked about. It's everything you could ask for speech and spelling. I am also very impressed from the speaker of each app is clear and precise and the pictures are easy to see what they are. It's kind of nice to have a no bling app where it's just to learn from that way they look forward to the reward afterward of maybe playing their faviort game or their faviort book :)

Tell a Story with Tommy: Community Sequences by Listen.Talk.Draw LLC
Tell a Story with Tommy community is a great app for learning sequences within a story. It's also a great social story with in the app. There seven stories within the app. Each story tells a short story and then has you put everything in sequence of what happend with in the story. I like this app because my children have problems with sequencing and comprehension. This app helps with that and makes them pay attention to what they are saying so that they are able to put the pics in the right order afterward. If your child has a problem with any of the above I would suggest trying this app out. You can watch a video of the app in action on utube from the link provided below. They also have a school sequencing app but I do not have that one.

Builder apps from Mobile Education Tools
SentenceBuilder, Question Builder, PrepositionBuilder, StoryBuilder, SentenceBuilderTeen, Speech Journal, ConversationBuilderDeluxe, and LanguageBuilderDeluxe are excellent speech apps. I would recommend these apps for any child with speech delays. They are excellent apps to use at school, home, or therapy. I did a review already of PrepositionBuilder before but haven't reviewed the rest so here it goes.
SentenceBuilder- This app helps your child build and develop sentences. The pictures are bright and colorful which keeps the childs interest. This app helps develope sentence structure by having to build sentence in correct manor by sliding each word one by one till you get a sentence that is gramer correct.
SentenceBuilderTeen- Is the same as above just made for older children. The sentences are more in depth and there is no animation. This is more for older child/adults that would need help with sentence structure.
StoryBuilder- This app is for building a story around a picture. You can record your child and then play it back latter. It starts with a short beginning to get your child to start the story. The pictures are great and the story starters help get your child moving along with the story.
Question Builder- Teaches your child to answer questions. You are asked W questions and then givin choices of how to answer the questions. This one is great for younger children to start out with out of the mobile ed apps. I use this one with all three of mine.
Speech Journal- Is exactully as it states. You can use the voice recorder to save words or sentences and the put images with them. It's a journal for your child. You can save and delet as you wish. You can even make a slideshow of what was made.
ConversationBuilderDeluxe- Teaches children how to have a conversation. I love this app and it is one of my faviorts and most used. It will give you three choices of what the conversation should be like. You can record what your child says so they can hear the conversation fall into place. I love the deluxe version since it comes with all the conversation themes right there. You can chose to do just one theme or you can randomize them all. This app was made for teachers to be able to buy so they could have all the in app's. If you are just looking for conversationBuilder without the inapps it is also available. There is no difference other then the extra modules being included between the two of them.
LanguageBuilderDeluxe- This is my other faviorite from Mobile Ed. This one works great even with my youngest. I have him work on it all the time. Pictures are totally realistic so no confusion about what the answers should be. This app helps children fill in the blanks and expand their language. This app is no different again from the origanal Language Builder but does include all inapp purchases. I would recommend this to any child that needs help building their language skills. It will be a purchase you wouldn't regreat and can be used for a long time.
Ok that's all the mobile ed apps (other then prepostionbuilder which was reviewed below). I highly recommend all there apps since they help children build their language skills. Please remember that if you love these apps to share them with your childs teachers, speech teachers, and more. It will only help them to build more apps in the future and expand out to even better speech apps to help all of our children :)
