Speech therapy treatment software
for articulation difficulty caused by apraxiaof speech
or other speech difficulties.
Newly updated in April 2011 with new USA
model voices, recording capability and now also
Macintosh compatible
and a new iPad version.
This software is especially helpful to those who
need to hear and see a sound made, for example, patients
with articulation difficulty, possibly due to
speech apraxia (verbal or oral apraxia affecting speech).
Provides multimedia full-motion video cues, for independent speech practice.
Cues are for individual phonemes (sounds) as well as full words.
530 Exercises
Each exercise targets one word, divided into 20 consonant positions (see lower right). For each exercise
it provides:
Color photo
Auditory and written trigger phrase
Written word
Video clip of a speaker
Records and plays back patient's voice with model sound for
comparison.
Easy to use - Patient can run the entire program just by pressing the
spacebar key, or can use the mouse.
Professional version also
includes 300 extra printable exercises for apraxia with photos of
mouth position and a listing of the vocabulary from the program and is
licensed for 2 PCs in one building.

We also have a similar, but more challenging program
for higher-level patients who can repeat back words just
from hearing them but need to work on articulation or on
word-retrieval:
Sights'n Sounds 1.
Nearly any Windows PC computers
made since 2002 will run our programs. If you're not sure, try
them out with our trial CD. Trials are
identical to the full version, only time limited. So if the trial works,
so will the full program. You can also buy
programs with our Money Back Guarantee.
Detailed Answer (for computer geeks)
Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7.
If your computer
has a Start button in the lower left comer, and it was new in 2000 or
later then you've got one of those versions. There are
several options for your Macintosh.
If you have an older computer with Windows 95 or Windows 98 (which are 9 to
14 years old) you can still run all the programs except for Sights'n Sounds
2, Speech Sounds On Cue, and Sentence Shaper
Sound Card
If your PC ever plays music
(even just at start up) it has a sound card. If it has external
speakers, it probably has a sound card. Speakers plug into the sound
card.
CD-ROM drive
Microphone
Required only for programs that record speech (Sights'n Sounds, Numbers'n
Sounds, and SpeechPrism) These are inexpensive.
You can buy them for $9.50
Screen that can display 256 or more colors.
160 MB Hard Drive space (if you're installing all
22 programs).
Most programs need about 10-20MB of storage. Typical low end PCs have 60,000
MB of storage so this usually isn't a problem.
