App Description

"This thoughtful, clear app is a therapist's dream tool for targeting phonological difficulties"

Minimal Pairs Arcade is a professional speech therapy app designed to provide speech-language pathologists, teachers, and parents with a fun and engaging tool for children in speech therapy. This app was specifically created to help children with phonological speech sound difficulties speak more clearly.

Designed by a Speech-Language Pathologist for use in the home and clinic, this app features 5 fun, novel speech therapy games, beautiful photos, a real voice, and full customization with over 800 minimal pairs included.

The app is based on a proven evidence-based speech therapy approach: Minimal Pairs Therapy. It focuses on contrasting word pairs that differ by just one sound. With twelve carefully designed categories, each addressing specific patterns of speech sound errors, this app empowers speech-language pathologists to tailor therapy sessions to each child's specific needs.

GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE EASY APP

The app has a flashcards activity and 5 innovative games that take you through each step of minimal pairs therapy - familiarization, auditory discrimination and production.

Familiarization: Use the clear, full-color flashcards to familiarize learners with the word pairs and teach them the differences in word meaning. Easily toggle between the minimal pair words in each pair set.

Auditory Discrimination Games: Play "Balloon Pop" and "Feed the Tiger," dynamic games where the child matches spoken words to correct pictures. These games develop essential auditory discrimination skills, which are crucial before beginning speech production practice.

Spoken Production of Words: The interactive games "Four in a Row," "Coin Drop," and "Stamp & Say" provide multiple opportunities for children to practice saying target words. These activities encourage active participation from speech-language pathologists and parents, allowing children to gain confidence in their speech sound production.
