Cue Name - Actions vs AlphaTopics - AAC Kullanım & İstatistikleri

Cue Name (Actions) targets naming skills with a focus on verbs for adults with aphasia, apraxia, and dementia. This app is designed for ease of use for busy clinicians to address confrontation naming, responsive naming, repetition, oral reading, description, sentence formulation and more with a variety of clients. Designed by a SLP with 30 years of experience with clients post-stroke, noting that a word-finding goal is a component of most aphasia treatment plans. Cue Name is designed with 3 complexity levels (simple, moderate, complex) and 3 assisted cues (first letter, full printed word, and verbal model) to be SMART goal ready. For example: The client will improve confrontation naming of moderate level actions to enable communication of wants and needs to 80% with minimal assist within 4 weeks. The clear, uncluttered interface is optimized for people with aphasia to successfully navigate the app independently. Letter, word and audio cued assists are readily available as needed for success. The slides are untimed, the audio model can be played repeatedly, and the printed word remains on the screen once revealed. Cue Name (Actions) contains 160+ images. Cue Name (Objects) contains 500+ photo images. Both apps contain multi-cultural imagery, working towards goals for cultural awareness, diversity, and inclusion. Settings permit a quick language change as needed for a variety of clients. Available languages include English, Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, Filipino, and Brazilian Portuguese, with more languages to be added with app updates! Optimized for use as an accompaniment to speech-language therapy, this app is recommended for carryover for home practice as research supports that further gains can be achieved with more intensive, daily practice (Sze et al. 2021; Lavoie et al. 2017; Brady et al. 2016). This app can also serve to extend language practice beyond the subacute rehab period with EBP research supporting continued gains with independent work (Zheng et al. 2016).

AlphaTopics - AAC

Sometimes just giving a hint or context is all your listener needs to understand you. The first letter or two. The general topic. AlphaTopics is the perfect AAC app for people whose natural speech is not always clear. Stop wasting time navigating to the right word or typing it out. Get your point across faster by touching just the first few letters of the words you say. Give your listener context by starting the conversation with the topic. Write it out with your finger or draw a picture. Don’t let overly complicated apps slow you down. Tactus Therapy, a trusted name in speech therapy apps, brings you a new take on a classic communication tool. AlphaTopics includes 3 AAC communication boards loaded with features: 1) Letter Board - 26 letters in alphabetical order or 2 variations of frequency order - 10 single digits allow you to express any number - Vowels highlighted and aligned for faster navigation - Natural or automated speech reads out the name of each letter or number - Yes, no, question, smiley, space, and backspace buttons for prosody and function 2) Topic Board - Fully customizable text you can re-order - Voice output with adjustable speech rate - Two sizes of grid to display 12 or 24 topics - Pre-filled with functional topics for adults 3) Whiteboard - Write or draw on the screen - 6 colors and 4 widths - Export to Photos or e-mail When used together, alphabet and topic boards have been scientifically shown to make the speech of people with motor speech disorders far more understandable. Combined with the whiteboard, these tools help people with aphasia express themselves more clearly with self-cueing and strategy use. Stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and motor neuron disease are all conditions that can impair speech production. Pointing to the first letter in each word not only gives the listener more information about the word, it also encourages the speaker to slow down and separate words, actually making the words clearer! Using alphabet supplementation, studies show intelligibility of sentences improves 25% on average. Pointing to the topic before speaking narrows the range of possibilities for the listener, giving context. Studies show using a topic cue improves word understanding by an average of 28%. Topics can also be used by people with aphasia, a language disorder, to help pinpoint the intended message. Additional Features: *Adjustable settings for visual, physical, language, and cognitive impairments *Works with built-in scanning and guided access *4 color schemes *Pick which board comes up when you start the app *Export any board you've customized to print or share "People whose speech is hard to understand often just want to provide extra clues to their listener and don’t require all the features of a comprehensive AAC app. It’s terrific that we now have an app that provides this level of support on a mobile platform.” - Lois Turner, SLP & AAC specialist Visit tactustherapy.com for more information on how to use this app, the evidence to support this form of AAC, and a day-by-day account of how this app was made.
