💡 App Spotlight: Speech FlipBook 🗣


There's one app in our collection that is a little different from the rest... I'm sure you're going to flip when you see it:

Flip for Speech FlipBook

Speech FlipBook is a revolutionary, interactive, talking flip book of all the sounds in English to help you treat:

  • Articulation
  • Apraxia
  • Dysarthria
  • Phonological Awareness

You can generate comprehensive word lists of all the single-syllable words that contain each sound or blend in each position of the word in seconds!

Your clients will love flipping, repeating, segmenting, blending, recording, and reading each word (or non-word!) on the screen as their awareness & speech improve. This app is a therapist’s dream that can be used with all ages & speech disorders.

See how this app can be used in an aphasia treatment called Phonological Components Analysis (PCA).

Why I love this app

Honestly, I use this app all the time whenever I need sound-specific words. Sometimes I don't even show it to my client - I just use it myself. I was tired of struggling to think of words that fit a certain criteria. Now when I need a bilabial-vowel-velar word? This app has me covered! It has all the consonants, cluster, and 3 types of vowels (pure, diphthongs, and rhotic).

"The top of my list for 'must-have' speech apps! Speech FlipBook has really made a difference in such a short amount of time. Not only are my students enjoying this app, but they are making definite gains in therapy. One student who I have been seeing for apraxia made more progress in two sessions than he has in over a year. He was delighted, and so am I!"
- Jess Schulman, SLP, Figuratively Speeching
