Naming Therapy

Claim the good will

Bought this because the free demo app was so disappointing, but this isn’t much better. Some of the initial sound phonemic cues are wrong and the cueing phrases for a target word are spoken in a childish and thus patronising voice for adults. In addition, it appears that a category set that bills itself as containing 50 items, in reality contains about 16 items that are simply repeated another two times. Very poor.

I was initially excited at how useful this app could be for therapy but it has a number of flaws; it's not possible to present exactly the customised pictures you enter as the system dictates that they are entered in multiples of 50 and also that they are presented in random order. So even if you have exactly 50 stimulus pictures they won't necessarily all get presented as the system randomises their presentation. Secondly, for each customisable stimulus picture there must be a sentence completion cue which I found tricky to complete. There is also a heavy US centric bias to the pre-supplied cues e.g. pretzel and their pronunciation.

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.

My husband had a stroke earlier this year and I searched all over looking for apps that I could use on my iPad and found Therappy! We used this naming one on a daily basis and even recommended it to our speech therapist to use for her patients. Thank you for making such a wonderful app & series. As of today my husband's aphasia has improved dramatically and I credit part of it to these apps! Thank you!
