- dangus 4y agoIs an app appropriate for this? Have you looked into speech therapists? It sounds like you need a professional who is trained for this sort of thing. Not everything can be handed off to an app.
- somenewaccount1 4y agoOh, yes, he has therapy - but therapist can't do everything either - a lot of reinforcement has to happen at home. Also, is been known that using apps like this (in addition to the therapy) can make a difference in when they learn to talk. It also gives them a voice while speaking is under development, and that in turn presents a lot more interaction and learning. The app would be just one of the tools in use though.

Depends on your child's age but these are the resources we used: https://teachmetotalk.com/ https://teachmetotalk.com/ https://www.hanen.org/ https://www.hanen.org/ > The closest app is $200 just to show him flashcards and says an audio clip Could you please provide the app(s)?

- blingojames 4y agoHi @somenewaccount1, would love to know, what are your expectations from a better app?
- somenewaccount1 4y agoPrimarily just want the same app, but cheaper, and cross platform. A ui designed by a professional ux person would be nice too.
