Saritasa, LLC of Newport Beach, CA is proud to announce the release of the Mouthworks Application for iPad iOs 5.x and iPad iOS 5. The Mouthworks iPad App was built in portrait and landscape by Saritasa developers for a Speech-Language Pathologist in order to give children in speech therapy in an engaging way to practice at home.

The Mouthworks iPad App is designed to facilitate speech and is ideal for children with delayed speech production, or who have trouble coordinating mouth movements with speech. The App gives children a fun and interactive way to practice speech production with a parent at home, as well as in therapy with a professional.

Lessons in the form of attention grabbing animated cartoon animals and real video speech modeling, are fun and motivating for children. The Main Menu allows the child or parent to choose to work on “Mouth Play” (mouth posture), and sounding out “Vowels”, “Consonants”, “Consonant and Vowel” words, and “Consonant-Vowel-Consonant” words.

The Mouthworks iPad App provides strong visual models designed without distraction from facial features other than the mouth. Each mouth posture, sound, or word alternates between an animated cartoon with an adult’s voice, and a real video of a child’s mouth as he speaks. Repetition of the sound or word in multiple audio and visual examples provide further reinforcement for the child

A “Settings” page can be accessed from the Main Menu in the Mouthworks iPad App, allowing the parent or speech therapist to customize lessons. One of the five different modes can be chosen for the child to work in. In addition, if desired, the adult can check a “Correct” or “Incorrect” box after each mouth posture, sound, or word, to keep a tally of percent correct and progress. This further motivates the child by giving instant feedback. Progress can be emailed between the parent and speech therapist directly from the Mouthworks iPad App, keeping each aware of how the child is improving.

The Mouthworks iPad App is now available for purchase in the iTunes store and is already receiving excellent reviews.
