Naming Therapy

This is one amazing app. it was the first of all the Tactus Therapy apps I have purchased for my husband after his stroke just over a year ago. His speech therapist at the time suggested we look into the app as she had just read a review about it's upcoming launch last August 2011. He really was still struggling with naming at the time and I anxiously kept watch for the release. The ease of use for him was awesome ( he was not used to using any technology). I had been using flashcards and picture cards with him, yet there were few that didn't appear child like. With this app his naming has improved so much along with his confidence level. I still occasionally will cue him in our ongoing conversations, however he has come such a long way this past year. He tells people often, especially in his group therapy, how wonderful these apps are and the ease of use with the iPad. In fact we know of a few families that took his advice. I can't thank Tactus Therpy Solutions enough for playing a role in my husbands ongoing reovery.

I have been using this app frequently. Actually daily lately with a Wenickes aphasia patient in the hospital. iPad + Tactus apps = best acute care SLP tools! I also use them all in out patient and home care settings. Worth every penny. Highly recommended to SLPs working with adults. Also for patients/clients to purchase and use for homework practice.

This is a fantastic and very practical application! I have not only used it with my adult clients but with children with special needs as well. It has replaced flashcards I would normally use to teach vocabulary and encourage one word utterances. I've also used the 'describe' section as questions for my fluency clients to answer while practicing their fluency strategies. This app is well worth it!

What an outstanding therapy tool. My adult medical clients are in love with this app. It makes them "Appy" as it is so user-friendly and extremely motivating. My clients just have to simply touch the screen and the magic happens.

All of the models appear to be Caucasian. Many of my patients are African American or Hispanic. They are already struggling with their language concepts post stroke. Not having images consistent with their own experience doesn’t help would give it a higher rating except for this.

Before this app came along I think I had about 6 different apps to target confrontational naming for a variety of photos. This app has it all and it's my 'go-to' now. The photos are high quality and the app is easy to navigate. 5 stars!

This is by far one of my most used apps in my clinical practice as a SLP and one of my most recommended apps as well. I love not having to carry a huge deck of cards around the hospital, and the patients are thrilled to use an iPad. Even some of the doctors have requested we "show them the pictures." But the part I love the MOST is the way the app collects data for me. HUGE time saver!

Naming TherAppy is a fantastic app for for working with both children an adults who have trouble with expressive speech. With 4 different modes, name practice, name test, describe, and Flashcards, users get multiple chances to cement the information learned. The app is also very customizable!

LOVE this app! Use it for assessments as well ad therapy. Pictures very clear and easy for my patients to see!

I float around between multiple assisted living and skilled nursing buildings as well as home health with my iPad always in my bag. This is by far the app I use most for adults with aphasia as well as those in our dementia units to name functional objects, this app is second best to real objects! I also use it as a barrier task during dysarthria treatment where I have the patient describe as much about the photograph as I assess their intelligibility. The naming test is great as a mini-assessment you can record along with other assessments during progress notes for G-Codes.
