Today I’m excited to be reviewing Speecharoo App: Funny Directions. I was able to meet it’s creator Syndy Margot at ASHA Schools and she is not only passionate about making speech language materials that work but she’s a lot of fun too! I can tell her students must have a blast when she’s teaching them.
This app is perfect for having some fun working on following directions and even targeting vocabulary because of the specific words the app uses.
When you open the app, you arrive at the home screen. From there, you have 4 different scenes to choose from and three different levels of directions in each scene. I love that each of these scenes are easily relatable to our kids-they love being able to choose their destination for the day!
Beach
Classroom
Park
Bedroom
Here is a sample of the directions. I have marked the three levels and the type of direction on the photo.
This fun app is a must-have for those students working on directions. Because the creators at Speecharoo are so sweet, they’re giving away one for free!

July 30, 2015 at 12:18 amI don’t have any kiddos on my caseload, I don’t even HAVE a caseload (new grad student here!) but the SLP I worked with at my previous job used a similar app all the time and it was cool to see how she modified it for different kids 🙂

July 30, 2015 at 4:03 pmThis app sounds amazing! I work with preschool through 4th graders this years, so I’m loving the wide range of ability levels that could benefit from this product. It looks fun and engaging for all ages of learners…wonderful!
