Lack Diversity

I really enjoy using these cards. They’re great for teaching a variety of actions and pronouns. However, they would be more inclusive if there were a wider variety of ethnicities represented among the pictures.

MLJ SLP

Best feature- the ability to record, use & type of pictures to elicit a complete sentence, a variety of student centered themes to choose What could be better - data collection, emailing results & tape recordings, eliminate signing in after each sentence

ILanguage Builder

I love this app for my clients but all of a sudden it will not let us choose what set of pictures we want. What's up with that? Libespeech8

Helps language

This app is really good for helping children with disabilities think about the language they use everyday.

Great

Great app for auditory processing and expressive language skills!

Disappointed with update

With the update, the skip image button is not there. Import picture is in its place which makes quickly moving between pictures impossible. I was using and loving this app for a variety of speech-language needs. Please bring back the skip image button!

Using it ine elementary speech thereapy sessions for kids with autism

Language Builder is a highly effective app designed to help students increase their expressive language skills; but it can be used for much more! The app houses pictured scenes that users are asked to create sentences about. This isn’t a written language task; the user formulates the sentence in their mind and then says it aloud while recording it. This voice record feature is highly motivating for our students! They love hearing themselves say the sentences that they have formulated about the pictures and enjoy playing with their voices in their recordings! The pictured scenes are appropriate for users of all ages and serve as a great teaching tool for a variety of skills. WH-Questions can be asked about the pictures, complex stories can be created by linking the pictures together to tackle creative writing skills. One of my favorite ways to use this app is as a self-monitoring tool for speech production targets (e.g., articulation, fluency and voice). Students can listen to their recordings and judge if they used their best /s/ sound, or if they used their best ‘smooth speech’.

Amazing app

This app is especially amazing for kiddos dealing with auditory processing issues and receptive/expressive language delays. The pictures alone challenge the child to create their own sentence based on e real life picture, but for those kids who need extra help, the app offers hints...at 3 different levels of difficulty. Love that the child can record the sentences in their own voice. I highly recommend this app for any child dealing with autism, language delays, or other disabilities.

Essential speech skills practice.

This app is perfect for younger kids who struggle with language in various different ways. I've been using it with my autistic 4 year old and it is so exciting to see him progress as we work through the library of pictures. Absolutely essential for any SLP or parent led speech therapy.

Fun and engaging!

This is a great program for literacy teachers who have struggling students. It gives simple and engaging sentence stems and allows students to fill in the blanks (even in their own voice!). I also really like how it uses real photos to help students 'buy in' or engage in the sentence story they are making. Great job! :)
