Speech Therapy App Spotlight: 🔢 Number Therapy
"Hey Megan - guess what? I'm no longer embarrassed when I go to the doctor's office. They always ask me for my address and phone number, and after using Number Therapy, now I can say them!"
James' stroke 10 years ago took away his language, but his fight to come back has been remarkable. James bought an iPad just to do speech therapy. He downloaded Number Therapy to work on a problem area for him. Then he customized the app with his own phone number and street address so he could drill, drill, drill. And it worked!
James isn't the only stroke survivor who struggles with numbers. In fact, an article from the National Aphasia Association reported that of the people with aphasia on their latest online chat, 77% reported difficulty remembering or saying numbers!

That's why I designed an app to work exclusively on numbers. Too often numbers are left out of speech therapy. But numbers are very important words that appear everywhere in our lives:
- Dates & Times for Appointments
- Money & Bills for Personal Finances
- Addresses & Phone Numbers
- Distances & Speed Limits for Driving
- Fractions for Baking & Woodworking
Talk about functional therapy that allows a person to be more engaged & independent in their lives! Whether it's remembering a bus route, recognizing the numbers called out in Bingo, or taking down an accurate phone message, numbers are inescapable and important.

Number Therapy is a professional speech therapy app that uses an evidence-based technique called numerical transcoding to practice number communication skills focusing on functional activities in listening, speaking, reading, & writing activities.
If you're familiar with our best-selling Language Therapy 4-in-1 app, then you'll see that Number Therapy is pretty much all those exercises combined, but all about numbers!

PRO TIP: We recommend you work on just one type of number at a time, starting with single digits and moving up. Once you've mastered each level with scores of 90% or higher, you should mix and match for a greater challenge. The app even includes recommendations to guide you on what to do next!
Download the FREE Lite version of Number Therapy on your iOS or Android device to see how it works. Then upgrade to the full version to practice the types of numbers that cause the most frustration. Perfect for home or clinic use and perfectly affordable at just $19.99 USD. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no Wi-Fi required. Just a one-time purchase for unlimited use. Now those are numbers that make sense!
Be well,
Megan

Your brain keeps two records of everything you read. One stores the gist. This is the meaning, the shape of it, what it was roughly about. The other stores the verbatim trace: the actual words, the specific details, the data point in the third paragraph. The gist is durable. It sticks around, gets consolidated into long-term memory, and becomes part of what you "know." The verbatim trace is fragile. It starts degrading almost immediately. To be fair, it's supposed to. Retaining every word of...
Reading a text message. Skimming a menu. Catching up on the news. Most of us don't think twice about these things... until we can't do them the way we used to. After a stroke or brain injury, reading often gets harder, slower, and more exhausting. If you've noticed this, you're not alone. 🧠 What's going on in the brain Reading isn't a single skill. It's a complex chain of steps your brain performs in a fraction of a second: recognizing letters, combining them into words, pulling meaning from...
A patient reads “dog” easily. And the non-word “slib” without hesitation. But show them “plaid" and they said "played." The word "island" becomes "iz-land." What's going on here? 🤔 Answer: surface alexia (the phonological route is intact; irregularly spelled words are a struggle) If you got that – kudos! 🤗If you didn’t… don’t beat yourself up. 🥴 Even if you nailed the diagnosis, the treatment details for surface alexia might be rusty. As SLPs, we're expected to hold a lot of information in...
