Speech Blubs: Language Therapy is a mobile application designed to support language development and speech therapy exercises, primarily for young children and individuals with communication challenges. It offers a collection of activities ranging from basic vocabulary building to complex sentence construction exercises, helping therapists and caregivers guide users in improving expressive and receptive language skills. The app targets children learning English, those with speech delays, autism spectrum disorder, or aphasia, providing structured yet engaging therapy tools.

Its key value lies in making therapy more accessible, fun, and trackable outside clinical sessions. Speech Blubs: Language Therapy engages users through colorful visuals and interactive tasks, encouraging consistent practice. Parents and therapists can monitor progress, tailor activities, and use it as a supplementary tool to bridge the gap between therapy sessions, fostering independence and communication confidence.

App Features

Question Formation: Practice creating yes/no questions or WH-questions (who, what, where, when, why) by completing sentence frames or manipulating objects; this actively engages users in shaping their thoughts and expressing needs.
Interactive Storytelling: Build narratives step-by-step using prompts, visual supports, and sentence starters, allowing users to retell familiar stories or create new ones, significantly improving narrative skills and sequence understanding.
Progress Tracking & Reports: Provide visual charts and detailed logs for parents and therapists to review completed activities, mastered skills, and skill difficulty levels, offering concrete evidence of growth to celebrate achievements and inform therapy goals.
