This app was created, developed and written by a certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) with many years of hands on experience in a variety of settings from daycares, schools, and preschools with a large variety of both younger and older school age children, both typically developing and special needs children. After seeing the difficulties and struggles with answering a variety of questions, the great need for a unique, motivating, fun and exciting way to help improve these skills was obvious. There is a need to combine learning with fun in order to improve and increase motivation when grasping concepts such as cause and effect. This app can also be used for practicing reading, vocabulary, and overall comprehension skills for middle and high school special needs students, and those looking for remedial practice.
