Writing Therapy 4.08

Writing Therapy is a unique app designed for adults with brain injury or stroke, as well as ESL speakers or children learning to spell. It offers a range of features and exercises to enhance spelling practice.

With four modes and three levels of difficulty, users can access a total of 12 different exercises, allowing them to practice writing over 500 words. Additionally, users have the option to create custom word lists, providing a personalized learning experience.

• Fill-in-the-Blank
• Copy
• Spell What You See
• Spell What You Hear

One notable feature of Writing Therapy is that it differs from other spelling apps. Users have the ability to select and rearrange letter tiles until they are satisfied with their answer, rather than being limited to fitting letters into specific spots. The app also includes a built-in cueing hierarchy, which provides hints on each level, facilitating a step-by-step learning process and increasing success rates.

The app's virtual set of letter tiles allows for faster therapy sessions with more repetitions in less time. Clear photographs, iconic graphics, and a clear male voice (available in five languages) enhance the user experience. The trial-and-error format, along with self-selected cues, helps users learn common words through graduated activities that adapt to their learning progress.

The settings in Writing Therapy offer customization options such as limiting word length, selecting capital or lowercase letters, choosing specific categories of words to practice, and determining how letters are selected. The app also provides an alternative tapping access method for users who have difficulty dragging.

This professionally-designed app from Tactus Therapy Solutions is part of their Language Therapy suite for speech-language therapy. It complements other apps in the suite such as Comprehension Therapy, Naming Therapy, and Reading Therapy, making it a comprehensive tool for therapists, teachers, and family members.

Customers who have used Writing Therapy have praised its features:

"I appreciate that this app is suitable for both children and adults. The use of real-life photographs instead of drawings or cartoons is a great aspect. The functional and categorized vocabulary is highly valued! The ability for older students/clients to review their responses before submitting them is especially beneficial. This app allows great control over word selection length, features good voice quality, and provides useful data reporting for clinicians. Great job!"

"This is a great and engaging app! I used it with two of my aphasia clients, one in her 30s and one in his 50s. Both found it captivating and wanted to continue using it throughout their sessions. I appreciate the different levels of difficulty and the hints provided (which my clients also found helpful). A fantastic app!"

"Beautifully done! This app can be enjoyed by both children and adults. I particularly love that it isn't childish like many other spelling apps out there. My favorite aspect is the ability to potentially misspell words, allowing users to determine if they are correct or not before checking. This promotes real learning instead of simply rearranging letters. I absolutely love this app!"
