Rarely do my students who transition to middle school have articulation goals on their IEP's, despite having obvious and consistent errors in their speech.
Multiple Choice Articulation (below) is a newly developed app by Erik Raj meant to address articulation while targeting receptive and expressive language in a conversational manner.
 |
| Users are able to target 7 phonemes. |

| For $9.99 users get:
- Over 500 multiple choice questions targeting 7 phonemes (above image)
- Option of having questions read aloud to user
- Option of having answers provided via audio to user
 |
| Users have the option to hear the question and answer |
- Users are able to select phoneme positions they would like to have targeted (below)
Things I liked:
- In addition to articulation, receptive (auditory processing, language memory, 'wh' question comprehension, turn taking, reasoning) and expressive language use (pronoun use, sentence formulation, word order, etc.) are also able to be elicited
- Students/users will want to discuss these scenarios as they are a departure from the more "traditional" questions adults would ask them e.g. "What would you rather sleep on - a pillow made of smooth mud or a pillow made of itchy cloth? Why?"
Things I would change:
- Visuals of the absurd questions would have been a great addition, as it would add to the discussion as well as provide assistance to those with difficulty visualizing
- Price: Although Erik Raj has churned out some quality apps, $9.99 is costly for the average SLP/educator who has little to no budget for materials at their place of employment.
App Compatibility:
Multiple Choice Articulation is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
