Say-N-Play is a speech articulation practice game designed for children ages 4-9. It was developed in cooperation with Holly Strange, MS, CCC/SLP, a speech language pathologist and her team to provide a fun and engaging way for children to practice their speech, so they look forward to it each day.
We partnered with the Stanford Research Institute to create technology capable of analyzing and scoring independent phonemes within an utterance. You can just use free play for mild articulation problems, or play in lesson mode where you select the problem phonemes and a progression of difficulties is tested. It can ignore phonemes you have not set as targets if, for instance, the child cannot make R sounds but you are just trying to get them to practice B sounds. It begins with easier positions (eg: initial, final) and moves all the way up to blends and phrases.
The product was designed to be used either in the office along with the guidance of a speech language pathologist, or at home to supplement their lessons and direction. The vocal models are based on US English (child, adult male and adult female vocal models are provided), but the primary focus is on consonant phonemes.
