When I first got my iPad and started using it for therapy, I had no idea which apps would be the best for me to use with my students to meet their goals in the areas of articulation and language. In addition to my own experience, I’m using feedback from other speech pathologists as well to create this list of 29 paid iPad apps. While I cannot vouch for every app listed below, for it to make the list I know that someone has found it useful. Enjoy!
