What you will need to implement iTherapy?

14. Teaching
Strategies/ EBP
Is there any Evidence that Apps
can help children with Speech
delays?
How do I engage Evidence Based Practice with this app?
We should not be mapping the use of new technologies onto old curricula,
rather, we need to rethink our curricula and pedagogies in the light of the
impact that we know technologies can have on learning and meaning‐making
in contemporary times (Yelland, 2007).

15. Teaching
Strategies/ EBP
What is the evidence
behind Mr. Potato
head?
Mr. Potato’s had been used to:
- Improve fine motor skills (grasping)
- Sensory processing
- Pretend Play
- Parallel play
- Spacial awareness
- Vocabulary
- Sorting
- Matching picture and object

16. Apps do not replace you!
Do not use an app as a television!
Still plan your therapy- the apps are just the tool or
the activity.
Teaching
Strategies/ EBP

17. APP-titude: Use the Evidence to Choose a Treatment App
This evidence-based practice model provides strategies for selecting an app.
by Lara Wakefield & Theresa Schaber
Step 1: Frame your clinical question using PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome).
Step 2: Find the evidence
Step 3: Assess the evidence.
Step 4: Search the app store and consult the evidence.
1. App M included 23 prepositions; App R had 20.
2. The prepositions were not listed for App M in its description, but were listed for App R.
3. The prepositions listed for App R were presented in alphabetical order, not developmental order.
4. Neither app described whether the app was based on a modeling format or how the preposition stimuli were
chosen. The SLP realized she would have to purchase the app or contact the developers to find out that
information.
5. The cost of App M was $2.99 and the cost of App R was $7.99.
6. App M was based on a modeling methodology, whereas App R was a receptive task.

18. Selecting Apps for Therapy using an Evidence-Based Practice Model for Intervention Tools
Dr. Lara Wakefield & Theresa Schabe
They look at iTunes
descriptors for the presence
of evidence to support the
set up of the app.
Look for the evidence and
make sure to use the
application in a way that is
supported by the evidence.
e.g: Apps for Prepositions
e.g: Apps for articulation
Select specific
Prepositions to target
student’s level.
Discard the app?
word- sentence:
use something else for
phrase?
word-sentence
discart the app?

19. Technology
Literacy
SLPs of the present (and the
future) must learn how to operate
and care for the devices.
What do I do if I get no sound on my apps?
How do I keep my apps organized?
How do I protect the data on my iPad?
Keeping your iPad updated!!!!

20. The iOS System
• This is Apple’s mobile operational
system. The iOS is to the iPad what
“Windows” is to PCs.
• Why should you care:
• Updates
• Features
Technology
Literacy
Settings - general - about - version
iOS 8.1

21. WHAT’S NEW?
App Bundles!? Yes!
You get to see the price you would pay if you
bought all the apps separately.
You get a discount for what you already
own!

22. Useful iPad tricks for SLPs

Technology
Literacy
Therapists must master
the device in order to be
able to use it as a tool
for teaching.

23. Organizing your apps.
1.Organize apps by goal ( pronoun,
verbs, etc..)
2.Organize apps by group - “Monday
1st graders 8 am”
3.Organize a folder for reward apps
Consider allowing students select the
app they want to use from a folder.
How?
1st. Hold an app icon for two seconds
until the start to jiggle
2nd. Drag one icon on top of the other
3rd. Let go
4th. Rename folder
Ideas

24. Closing your app history?
How ( depends on your iOS system)
1st. Double click your home button
2nd. Swipe up ( if iOS 7 or up) or Hold
icon for two seconds ( if iOS 6 or less)

25. Saving power for the long therapy day
Why
Reducing the
brightness helps
conserve battery for
using the iPad with all
your groups!

26. Using the iPad with groups?
What:
It is possible to have a diverse
group of students, one iPad and
have each use their target app at
the same time.
How:
Switching between apps
back and forth using app
deck. It depends on iOS.
Try it:
Double tap home
button, use app A,
double tap, use app B,
and start again.
Multitasking

27. iPad iOS5 Multi-Touch Gestures
• 4 finger up to
access the multi-
tasking tray
• for finger sideways:
switch between
apps
• 5 fingers pinch: go
back to home
screen.
Consider your students’ behaviors

30. Imagine the following
scenario...
You are on vacation and you take your iPad with
you. One day you come back your hotel and your
things are gone, including your iPad ( and all your
data, student information, and your personal
information)

31. Protect your data
• Auto lock x password
lock
• You may consider unlocking
right before therapy
• Password protection
• Erase data?
Make sure you DON’T
FORGET YOUR PASSWORD
EITHER!

32. Privacy Issues
• Password protection of student data
• signature of confidentiality on your
e-mail
• e-mail student information on a
secure network.
• Set up a different signature/ email
account
Settings- Mail, contact, calendars- Signature.

33. New scenario...
You are delivering therapy
to a group of students using
your iPad and someone
knocks on your door. You
go check on it and 2
minutes later when you
come back you notice that
the app you had been using
to track student data has
been deleted.
Now what!?

34. Setting up restrictions on your
iDevices
• Click on the settings icon-
General - Restrictions
• Highly recommended
restrictions:
• Installing apps
• Deleting apps
• In-App purchases
• Age rating restrictions

35. Back up the student
data:
Print, print, print!
File sharing
http://www.geekslp.com/2012/12/did-you-know-that-you-could-lose-everything-on-your-
ipad/
Most speech therapy apps do not use iCloud to backup data due to privac

36. File sharing...
Plug your iPad to your computer, access the tap “apps” and scroll all the way to “file
sharing”

37. Accessibility Features
iPad comes with a screen reader, support for playback of closed-captioned
content, and other innovative universal access features — right out of the box.
There’s no additional software to buy or install.
These features make iPad easier to use for students who have a vision
impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have a physical or learning
disability.

46. Considering the costs

47. App pricing
• Remember how much traditional products
cost.
• Forget the $.99 price model when
considering communication apps.
• You get what you paid for.
• As of May 2011, Apple approves its
500,000th app, 37 percent of all apps are free
with the average price $3.64.
• Average Speech therapy apps- $29.99

48. When considering implementing
the iPad on your therapy session,
consider the costs that come with
it:
1. Cost of the device
2. Cost of apps
3. Cost of accessories

Basic Concepts Skills Screener
Perfect for all levels from preschool to early elementary,
BCSS assesses the concept skills needed for pre-reading
and math skills. The Basic Concepts Skills Screener is sure
to be a great app for the busy speech-language pathologist,
teacher, parent, or caregiver.
The Common Core Early Language Screener (CCELS) is a
screening tool used to identify weaknesses in early
language skills. The CCELS was designed to be used with
pre-Kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade aged children
as it was based on the common core expectations for each
grade; however, the screener can be used for other groups
if needed

Game Apps

74. Gaming into education: Can even Angry Birds promote learning?
1. If your student/child is already familiar with Angry Birds, get him to explain the
whole game to you. If you are working on writing skills, this can even be a written
assignment.
2. You and the child can play one or several levels together; however the child has
to describe their strategy to getting to the pig prior to playing the level. If you are
with a group of students; how about having each student think out their strategies
separately and get them to discuss which strategy is best and then put into
action?
3. Select a level and ask the student to play it once, then ask them to describe their
strategies verbally or create a written material that describes their strategies.
YES
This can also be used for articulation (The harassing bird
came crashing through the air and went through the rubble.)

75. A case Study by “App Kickers”
Data Narrative: Present progressive intervention with 3rd
grader with Autism
Population: Student: AJ, male, 3rd grade, Diagnosis: Autism, minimal
verbal output but a few times has comes out with emergent novel
sentence forms containing a verb
instead of his echolalic “go to” phrases like “There it goes” , “Look
out”, “Stop it”, “Let’s rock n roll”, “Check it out”, “Wait for it”, and “No
can do.”
Outcome: IEP goal: Produce present progressive verbs and past tense
verb tenses in structured tasks.
Comparison condition: Past history: Picture description tasks: too static. Not interested. Minimal output and just says
“There it goes” and “No can do” to refuse the situations.
PICO
Comparison to norm: But... what do typical kids “say” when playing a popular game? I will have to compare to that
because I don’t know.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59487550/Angry%20Birds%20PICO.pdf
Results (3 months): AJ continued to imitate other peers with mainly the verb phrase part for March and April. Then in May, his Mom called me to say
that AJ was playing Angry Birds at home by himself (usually he was playing with his sister who was modeling simple phrases
as I had trained the sister and Mom to do). And he said, “I shooting rocks.” She ran over to him and listened to him again and
he kept saying “I shooting rocks.”A few days later during his game time at school, he produced “I shooting rocks” during Angry
Birds with a peer and the peer said, “AJ, great shot.” and hugged AJ.
Schedule was set up and he had a different peer every week. Kids would get excited to see the weekly calendar and run over to AJ and say
“Dude, it’s my week with you, ” and give AJ a high five.
