Today I’m writing about I Can Do apps for speech and language development. I am talking about 5 of their apps today but they have many more so you’ll want to check them out!
I’m going to show you lots of pictures from the I Can Do apps I am reviewing, because, frankly, they’re gorgeous. They might even be my favorite part about I Can Do apps. I just love it when I can find relatable, clear pictures that promote learning!
For each activity, you’ll see the home page, which contains 5 distinct tasks progressing in difficulty. I love this feature because I can pull this app out and use across my caseload!
First up, their sequencing app:
Did you notice how all of the activities are functional too? Grilling, packing, laundry, washing hands… these are the scenes I want my students noticing!
The next app is following directions. 
I especially love the before and after statements because so many of my students need practice with these!
Here is the associations app:
And the categories app:
Again, I just love these pictures. Don’t you?
Here is the rhyming app, which also contains a memory match rhyming game.
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!

August 27, 2015 at 6:29 amI could see using all of these! But if I had to choose just one, I’d say sequencing.
Kim Hovey says
August 27, 2015 at 9:15 amI love these apps and already have a few, so it’s difficult to say which one I would use most. I use the associations and categories apps all the time! I love the clear pictures. I would like to explore the question apps , or maybe following directions.
Shara Barlage Kuehl says
August 27, 2015 at 10:57 amWow! This is app would be so useful in therapy! I would use the sequencing and following directions the most. If I don’t win it, I will have to buy it .
Santha Varghese says
August 27, 2015 at 11:34 amI could use this! Thx
Santha
Lindsay says
August 27, 2015 at 11:37 amSequencing would help many on my caseload!
Frances Creel says
August 27, 2015 at 12:51 pmI can see these apps being a wonderful addition to my program.
Shawnalee says
August 27, 2015 at 1:11 pmSeveral of these look promising. So I would love to try the sequencing, categories, associations, and following directions.
Jessica Finch says
August 27, 2015 at 1:50 pmI NEED all of the apps, but I would probably use the Following Directions the most. I have so many students who work on this goal. Like you, I find they continue to need terms such as before and after added to increase complexity once they can follow basic commands.
Marisha says
August 27, 2015 at 2:13 pmI agree–the pictures in the app are beautiful! I think the associations and categories apps would be especially useful with my caseload.
Kristine says
August 27, 2015 at 2:43 pmI already have the sequencing app and the following directions app. Out of the 3 apps I don’t have, I think I would use the categories app the most. Many of my students need help with categories, comparing and contrasting, and describing. This app could help with many different concepts.
Karla Wormington says
August 27, 2015 at 3:56 pmThey all look good but I think that I’d use the following directions one the most.
Becky S. says
August 27, 2015 at 4:13 pmI think that I would use the following directions app the most. I’m always looking for good, functional ways to target this skill that so many of my students have difficulty with, and it looks like it would be great, especially with all of the different options and levels of difficulty.
Debbie says
August 27, 2015 at 4:58 pmI have a group of little ones that have the hardest time with why things go together, how are things different, how are they alike and making associations. So, I think the associations app would be great for that! All of these apps are skills that are perfect for the kinds of goals that are written for language delayed youngsters. Thanks for showing me another possible tool in my toolbox!
Renee Teich says
August 27, 2015 at 8:03 pmThese apps look great – and I agree, I love the pictures. Think I would greatly utilize the following directions app! Thanks for sharing your review.
Whitney says
August 27, 2015 at 11:47 pmSo many of my kiddos struggle with phonological awareness skills. The rhyming app would be great for them! They love doing hands on activities rather than paper work.

Kylie says
August 28, 2015 at 12:23 amI could see using all of these! As a grad student, I am always looking for great resources like these. I think the sequencing and following directions apps look very engaging! Thanks for doing this giveaway! 🙂
Rachel says
August 28, 2015 at 12:59 amI think I would probably choose the sequencing app – it’s surprising hard to find good, relevant, and engaging sequencing apps!
Rebecca Wright says
August 28, 2015 at 1:27 amThese apps look awesome! I can think of lots of kiddos that would have fun with these! I just started at a new school and a lot of the kids on my caseload have sequencing goals and categories goals so one of those would probably be used the most where I am at!
Shannon Pischner says
August 28, 2015 at 2:38 amHard to choose which one would be best – so many kiddos with so many needs! If I had to choose just one, it would be the sequencing app. Love the real life pictures as well!!
Judy Hale says
August 28, 2015 at 2:45 amThe Sequencing or Association apps would probably be the ones I’d use the most at this time.
Marilyn says
August 28, 2015 at 3:55 amThey all look like they would be great for the students on my caseload but the following directions app with the 2 step directions and before/after would be very beneficial.
Kristie says
August 28, 2015 at 3:55 amI could see me using the Sequencing app with so many of my students. It can be used multiple ways.
Victoria Thomas says
August 28, 2015 at 9:38 amI would love to have all of these apps! I would definitely use the following directions app the most. Thank you for doing a post about these apps!
Josie says
August 28, 2015 at 5:40 pmI love the levelled component built in. Such a plus for maximizing use of a resource. All of the apps have a place in my caseload, but I think sequencing and associations would get the MOST use!
Elizabeth McGreavy says
August 28, 2015 at 10:39 pmI LOVE the sequencing for the same reasons you mentioned. The pictures represent scenes from daily living that would help with carryover of sequencing skills at home!
Sara says
August 28, 2015 at 11:45 pmFollowing Directions! Lots of kiddos on my caseload have a goal for that!
Katie says
August 29, 2015 at 1:00 amI would definitely use the questions or the following directions apps because so many of my students struggle in these areas.
Jackie says
August 29, 2015 at 4:20 amI think I would use following directions the most
Beth says
August 29, 2015 at 8:21 pmI love the pics! Definitely would use sequencing, categorizing, and following directions!
Gloria says
August 30, 2015 at 7:08 pmI see myself using the categories, associations and following directions the most.
Hope says
August 31, 2015 at 1:45 amI work on categories a lot so I would probably use that the most. However, following directions would also be useful, especially the before and after.
Nikole says
August 31, 2015 at 5:34 pmI have so many students of my caseload who could really benefit from these apps! Especially the associations and following directions!
Shelli Smithers says
September 2, 2015 at 12:48 pmThese all look great! I really like the categories and associations. I work with Middle School students and these 2 apps would be a good way to practice functional language skills with my lower functioning students.
Amy says
September 2, 2015 at 1:19 pmThese look great! I already have the following directions app and now that you’ve shown me the sequencing, I have to have it! I have one student in particular that is on the spectrum and would GREATLY benefit from these photographs for sequencing! LOVE!
Jenna says
September 2, 2015 at 3:39 pmWow, those apps would be so useful! Thanks! Love all your stuff!
Stephanie says
September 2, 2015 at 9:08 pmI would use the sequencing app the most, followed closely by the categories one. They look great and the review is very helpful!
