SmallTalk Phonemes by Lingraphica
-The FREE SmallTalk Phonemes app provides a series of speech-exercise videos, each illustrating the tongue and lip movements necessary to produce each of the phonemes in the English language.
-These articulation videos allow people to easily practice the English phonemes as often as they like. Because each exercise comes as an individual video, you can focus on just the phonemes you want to practice and repeat them as many times as you like.
-Children with Autism may not always attend to your own models of speech sounds. However, many children are drawn to technology. Use the video models on this app to provide your child with additional speech models during a fun game or activity.
For example:
1. During an activity using a desired item, model the /m/ sound for your child. Also provide your child with the video model of /m/ from SmallTalk Phonemes. Model the full word "more" while emphasizing the /m/. Assist your child in tapping his/her hands together to sign more if he/she does not display sound imitation.
2. During bubbles activity, model the /p/ sound while popping bubbles. "/P/ /P/ /P/...Pop!" Play the video models for /p/ using SmallTalk Phonemes during this activity.
