There are some popular communication apps that many people in the field know about. However, there are a number of other apps that are used to teach. A speech and language pathologist can increase engagement with a number of different apps and ideas. When teaching someone with language difficulty, it is a good idea to have visuals and hands-on activities as well to create a multi-sensory experience. When you are explaining what a word means having a picture to show a student will help communicate information. Student engagement can be increased with instant feedback that is done with applications on a tablet or a computer. An SLP can have multiple ways to represent information. Students have more opportunities to express themselves and to be successful. That means more learning and more reinforcement.
