* Featured as one of "The Top 5 Apps in 2013" in Center for Digital Education* As seen in ADVANCE magazine* Created by a Speech-Language Pathologist, Speech with Milo apps have been downloaded over 150,000 times to improve language skills. Speech with Milo: Nouns will facilitate communication and creative sharing of videos between service providers and parents. Nouns uses the iPads camera feature as a substitute for a mirror, while simultaneously displaying the stimulus word on the iPad. This allows the child to be a part of the stimulus word presentation. The child can practice the word displayed while watching him/herself, and the therapist can record and save a video of the child speaking. This video can be safely shared with a parent, teacher, or other service provider. Nouns was created to increase vocabulary skills (mainly common objects, places, people, etc.) in early language learners. *Please note that the iPad 1 does not have a front facing camera so the childs image will not be displayed. You will only be able to see the pictures of the nouns.There are many, many uses for these features so that you can make therapy engaging and interactive. For example, when a picture of a frog is displayed, the child can pretend to be a frog and say ribbit. When a picture of a pizza is displayed, you can pretend to eat the pizza and encourage the child to imitate. These videos can be shared as examples of the childs speech, a way to model therapy for follow-up with parents, or to assign homework. Here are some ways you can use this app in therapy.Increase noun vocabulary Increase utterance length (expand to phrases and sentences- )Increase imitation skillsWork on pretendingAnswer questions (Y/N, Wh)Provide immediate feedback by playing the videoRecording and Sharing VideosYou can record a video by pressing the record button in the top right hand corner of the main interactive pages.
