Description
(For the iPAD) An awesome speech therapy app! Ideal for PECS users and children with autism learning to talk. For visualization practice to help language comprehension!
“She is eating an apple.” What does that sentence really mean? What would those words look like if I imagined this image in my mind? Picture the Sentence is an exciting app for the iPAD designed to practice language and auditory processing tasks at the basic sentence level.
This app offers three different levels of difficulty so the child can learn how to attend to important elements of a sentence and “picture it,” attaching meaning to the words and eventually forming mental pictures without visual support. It is also an excellent choice for anyone who is trying to learn and understand the English language. **Turn the voice commands off and the text feature on, and this game can also be a great way to practice basic reading comprehension skills too!
Check out our full version app on the HamaguchiApps channel on YouTube to find out more about the features of this lite version. They work the same, except the lite version allows 3 users only, and targets only the subject + verb + object syntax structures. http://youtu.be/gaiE7OQV-AQ
Because these kinds of intensive listening tasks can be challenging for some children, we have incorporated a cute “Pick-a-Door” game, which can be selected at varying intervals so the user can take a break and have a little fun.
Options in the Settings Include:
•Choice of color drawing icons or stick figures
•Levels include: Easy (slow, with visual support staying on the screen) Intermediate (faster rate with pauses, with visual support flashing briefly on the screen) and Advanced (no pausing or visual support)
•Text on/Text off
•Choice of subjects: Pronouns (He/she/they) or nouns (boy/girl/children)
•Sandtimer (This delays the presentation of the picture choices so there is a greater challenge to the child’s working memory.)
•Sentence Type available in the Lite version: subject + verb + object

One tiny request
I like app and it fits the specific needs of a few of my students. My only request would be to make it possible to manually move onto the picture choices after the sentence is given instead of automatically moving to the three choices. I would like to have the option to have my student repeat the sentence before moving on to finding the corresponding picture. Like a simple button that says "next" or just an arrow. You follow?? Or even making your own sentences so you can tailor the app even more specific to the student.
Developer Response ,
Hi AnneMarie. Thanks so much for your feedback. We actually do have a "show choices" in a manual mode for our other apps so we will definitely look at doing that with our next update. In the meantime, you can go into Settings and adjust the "wait time" so you have enough time in between the sentence presentation and the time the user selects the correct choice. In the future, feel free to email us at info@hamaguchiapps.com for any suggestions or issues.

I am a pediatric speech-language pathologist and I am a big fan of all of the Hamaguchi apps. This app is no exception. It is well designed and I did not experience any technical issues while using it. My young patients enjoy using the app and find it engaging. I love the uncluttered design! It is effective without being overwhelming/distracting.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We're glad you are enjoying the app!
Yet Another Awesome App from Hamaguchi!
This app includes clear concise directions and the ability to adjust difficulty level (3 levels), the wait time between responses, what type of visual cues you want, after how many correct responses the game will appear, the type of subjects being used (nouns or pronouns) and sentence type. Progress can be tracked as well. Very versitle tools for a lite version! This app teaches noun, verb, object sentences. Each part of the sentence is associated with a picture. When asked to remember the sentence the student/child has to place the corresponding picture into a picture frame. If they choose incorrectly the picture is returned to its spot. There is no corresponding sound or admonishment for choosing incorrectly. If the child chooses the correct picture, the sentence is repeated and they are told "Good Job!" This lite version is well worth the .99 price tag! The white background helps to keep the student/child focused on the task at hand. The pictures are bright and engaging. This lite version is well worth getting! Highly recommend this app!
