1.. 2.. 3.. Easy Steps to Getting started with Boom Cards

Posted on July 31, 2020 by OMazing Kids

1.. 2.. 3.. Easy Steps to Getting started with Boom Cards

1. Sign up for the free Starter account: https://wow.boomlearning.com

2. Install the free app on your device:

* iOS: Boom Cards by Omega Labs, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/boom-cards/id1041141473, iOS Universal, iOS 10.0 or later, FREE).

* Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cards.boom.boom

* Kindle Fire: https://www.amazon.com/Boom-Learning-Cards/dp/B01M8M6OFF/

* Or can be used online via your computer

3. Find Boom Decks:

* Start by searching through their store for Boom Card decks. There are lots of free ones. Every Friday you can search by “flashfridayfreebie” and find several (https://wow.boomlearning.com/search?collection=Decks&keyword=flashfridayfreebie&sort=publishDate&order=-1). But you can find others just by looking through the store. It’s kind of like Teachers Pay Teachers in that many of the creators have at least one free item. The “paid” ones are on a point system.

* Many of the sellers over on TPT also have Boom Cards there (https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:BOOM%20cards/PreK-12-Subject-Area/Speech-Therapy/Order:Price-Asc). When you download one there it will contain a link to unlock the deck over on the Boom Learning site.

The Boom Learning YouTube channel also has helpful info: https://www.youtube.com/c/boomlearning and their Help Center: https://boomlearning.freshdesk.com/support/home

—————

I haven’t tried creating my own Boom Card decks yet so I don’t know how easy it is… I just recently started looking at them to see what all the buzz was about. If you’ve followed my blog page or social media sites for many years and have used lots of apps, Boom Cards seem to be the fad right now (like when apps first came out). But even the best Boom Card decks that I’ve seen aren’t anywhere near the quality of a well designed app. However I can see the appeal of the fast pin and data tracking features for those doing distance learning / teletherapy in the midst of the pandemic.

It will be interesting to see how sustainable Boom Cards will be since most of the folks are looking for free decks.

IMPORTANT INFO 11/30/20 – This blog post from 12/31/16 is outdated and is being archived. Please head over to the new blog post for current info and links: The iPad & the SLP in 2020 and Beyond: Interactive PDF Resource List of iOS apps, Boom Cards, Teachers Pay Teachers materials, Teletherapy Resources and Online Resources – organized by goal areas, themes and topics

https://omazingkidsllc.com/2020/11/29/the-ipad-the-slp-in-2020-and-beyond-interactive-pdf-resource-list-of-ios-apps-boom-cards-teachers-pay-teachers-materials-teletherapy-resources-and-online-resources-organized-by-goa/

If you are looking for names of apps that existed back in 2017 to assist you in finding them in the Purchased area in the App Store, then feel free to look through the info below. I am leaving it up for that purpose and as a historical time capsule of apps that used to exist. Sadly many of these have disappeared.

{The iPad & the SLP in 2017} App List for SLPs ~ sorted by goal area ~ now includes over 900 apps & a list of 65 apps that are always FREE

My iPads are by far the best tools in my SLP toolbox. Best purchases ever! But an iPad is only as good as the apps that you load on it. Think of the iPad as being the toolbox & the apps within it as tools (see this post with tips & general info: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2016/06/09/the-ipad-the-slp-toolbox/)

Not sure how to find high quality apps? I invite you to join me over on my OMazing Kids Facebook page and in my AppPeeps Facebook group where I post frequently about apps.

I post on my OMazing Kids page every day about good apps that are either free or a great deal that day. I’ve also done several in-depth app reviews on my blog: https://omazingkidsllc.com/category/app/. I only post about apps that I have actually downloaded and tried and only post about those that I see as being either helpful in therapy, classroom or to parents of kids with special needs. There are thousands of apps in the App Store so it can be difficult to find ones to best meet our needs as SLPs.

I am in several SLP Facebook groups and see numerous posts each week asking “What are the best apps?”. So I decided to spend some time compiling a list for this blog post. The list is not all inclusive and is subject to change as apps are updated, new ones are released & others unfortunately disappear (a sad but true reality in the world of apps).

A few general words about apps:

* When folks ask for app recommendations, I suggest apps based on what skills you are wanting to teach (no different than when someone asks for recommendations for more traditional therapy materials). What tool do you need for the job? Even within a particular category, I don’t just have one favorite app. I have several faves depending what the specific needs are. And I often combine apps with toys and other traditional therapy materials.

* I usually avoid apps that have ads and in-app purchases since they are distracting to patients. Be sure to know how to adjust the settings on your iPad to prevent kids from making purchases & how to use it in “airplane mode” to block most ads. I also avoid apps that involve subscriptions.

* Guided Access: If you will be using the iPad with kids, then Guided Access is your new BFE (Best. Feature. Ever!). It can be used to disable the home button and lock the child into an app. Especially critical if you will be using the iPad as an AAC device or using it in therapy with kids with poor impulse control. Here is the PDF guide that I share with families. It shows how to set it up step by step: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2015/12/30/how-to-use-guided-access-to-prevent-exiting-an-app-best-feature-ever/

* This list is based on apps available in the USA App Store at the time of this post. I may periodically add to this list as I get new apps but don’t have plans to constantly update it…. I’ve already spent countless hours compiling this original post.

* As I was creating the post I discovered several great apps are no longer available for purchase and others had even disappeared from the cloud (a good reminder to always check to see if an app is still available before uninstalling it from your iPad and to back up your iPad periodically by plugging it into your computer with iTunes…. I need to do this myself).

* Info about special needs features built into the iPad: http://www.apple.com/education/special-education/ios/

App list for SLPs by goal area (updated 2/15/17 – the list now contains over 900 apps; updated 8/12/17 to add new apps that I’ve gotten over the past 6 months; updated again on 9/10/17 to add a few new SLP apps so I can share the latest info at my presentation at the OSHA conference, updated again on 1/1/18 to add more new apps; updated again on 1/27/18 to add a section of Multiplayer Games, updated on 2/22/18 to add a section for Selfie Filter and Masks, retitled the High Contrast section to make it clearer that this includes CVI apps & added new apps that I have gotten (at this point I’m not going to deleted apps that have not been updated to work with iOS 11 since app developers are still in the process of updating apps & most of my iPads are not updated to iOS 11 yet). Looking for apps that have a history of always being FREE? Scroll past the goal listings to find a list of 65 apps that are always free:

AAC:

* Apps to target core vocabulary: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2016/10/01/appy-aac-awareness-month-favorite-apps-for-teaching-aac-core-vocabulary/

* Great for older kids who don’t need pics: Speech FlipBook Standard – Articulation & Apraxia by Tactus Therapy Solutions Ltd., https://appsto.re/us/fExVI.i

* All of the apps by Erik Raj are great for older kids who are working on those specific sounds. Especially for those who have been in therapy a long time and may be hard to motivate. He is super goofy & engaging. Here’s the link to one: Wacky Selfie Articulation for Speech Therapy by Erik X. Raj, https://appsto.re/us/tllNfb.i & his newest app has been a HUGE hit with my patients: Sticker Picture Articulation by Erik X.

* 15+ apps to encourage vocalization: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2016/10/05/15-apps-to-encourage-vocalization/ (*** WARNING: Stay far, far, far away from any apps by Blub Blub, Inc. (First Blubs or Speech Blubs). That app developer is misusing names of several SLP bloggers to promote his apps, is charging ridiculously high subscription rates & is luring parents and therapists into trying their “free trial” to then end up paying for a subscription. See my in depth post here: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2017/07/03/app-warning-do-not-install-the-update-for-first-blubs-concerns-i-have-regarding-the-pricing-on-the-new-speech-blubs-app/ & here: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2016/08/21/free-app-alert-first-blubs-unlock-all-22-animals-free-this-week/. It took a social media blitz and support from my friends at Tech in Ed to finally get the developer to remove my OMazing Kids name from the app description and website but at the time of this post update he still had not removed the other SLP bloggers’ names)

* Other general articulation apps:

– Articulation Cards by Innovative Investments Limited (not lots of features but very inexpensive), https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/articulation-cards/id1242446215?mt=8

– Articulation Essentials by Nabeel Ahmed Khan, https://appsto.re/us/SCZpgb.i

– ArtikPix – Full by Expressive Solutions LLC, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/artikpix-full/id356720379?mt=8

– Flexible Speech USA by Flexible Speech Pty. Ltd., https://appsto.re/us/FCqV_.i (free trial, then can purchase via IAP, I have suggested that they offer a full paid version. Especially helpful when helping kids work on articulation beyond the 2 word phrase level. Many other apps have too big of a leap from phrases to very long sentences. This app provides several levels between the two. This feature will be the main reason I use and recommend this app.)

– Speech Tutor Educational by Synapse Apps, LLC, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speech-tutor-educational/id1323272450?mt=8

– Speedy Speech (a rare example of me recommending lite apps. These three have enough content to be helpful: – L Lite: https://appsto.re/us/iJOD9.i, R Lite: https://appsto.re/us/XcVD9.i, S Lite: https://appsto.re/us/edRE9.i. I was sooooo excited to finally get all three full versions on sale!

SpeedySpeech – L Pro by SpeedySpeechTherapy, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speedyspeech-l-pro/id1031451452?mt=8

SpeedySpeech – R Pro by SpeedySpeechTherapy, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speedyspeech-r-pro/id1031451520?mt=8

* Assessment: I’ve found it very helpful to have artic assessment apps as a means of informally assessing areas of need for ongoing goal development. In-depth review comparing the Articulation Test Center, Sunny Articulation Phonology Test Kit & Test of Articulation and Phonology (iTap) apps:
https://omazingkidsllc.com/2016/05/07/articulation-testing-apps-reviews-and-comparison-of-articulation-test-center-sunny-articulation-phonology-test-kit-test-of-articulation-and-phonology-itap/.

65 Free Apps for SLPs: a list of apps that have a history of always being free: It’s rare for “good” apps to be free all of the time. App developers spend $$$ making their apps and keeping them updated. So we shouldn’t expect them to be free. Instead some periodically go “free” for a short time as a way for them to get some visibility. That’s why I post every day about apps that are either free or a great deal that day. So the best way to get good free apps is to follow my OMazing Kids page & crossposts over in the AppPeeps group. That being said, here are 65 good apps that appear to be “free” all of the time and are helpful for kids with complex special needs (the population that I serve as a SLP). Some are either funded by a grant or a public educational TV station. Others are a free app or two offered by a developer as a way to draw interest to their other apps:

{11 Special Needs Apps worth over $62.00 currently FREE}

The full versions of apps in the iDo series are all great for targeting goals for life skills, sequencing, functional vocabulary, etc. for older kids and teens. They have great video modeling and photos but because of this are large apps. I rotate them on/off my iPad based on specific kids I have on my caseload at any given time. These apps have been free since 7/10/17. I highly suggest getting all of them but have no idea how long they will be free so be sure to check prices before downloading:

Note: These all have a history of being free & were verified as still being free at the time of this post. But app prices can change at any time so be sure to verify the price before downloading. Apps show as “Get” in the App Store when they are free. I have no way to check app availability or prices outside of the USA App Store.

{12 Free Picture Dictionary Apps} These picture dictionary apps are all currently free in the USA App Store. I found them while searching through the App Store to answer a question over in the Proloquo2Go For Professionals Facebook group. Always amazed to stumble upon nice free apps. It’s like going on a treasure hunt. Not sure if these are always free or just free for a limited time so get them quickly and check prices before downloading. The 3D one has cool vivid graphics. The GoPict! and Eureka Pic! series is helpful for kids who are older but still need picture support. A few of the words are specific to India but most are not. Yolaroo has several other free apps that I grabbed so tap on the developer’s name to look for those.

Have a favorite app for use in speech-language therapy that’s not on the list? If it’s still available for purchase in the USA App Store and doesn’t contain ads or involve a subscription, feel free to send me the link in a message on my OMazing Kids page (it’s by far the most reliable way to reach me…. the e-mail address I use on my blog and other social media is swamped with spam mail).

Three Fun Books: Mr. Cookie Baker, Truck Driver Tom & Firefighter Frank (ideas for therapy & AAC)

Posted on October 12, 2016 by OMazing Kids

I love Monica Wellington’s books! Excited that her publisher sent me these three books to add to my OMazing Kids library. Lots of fun possibilities for targeting goals in speech therapy:

* Firefighter Frank board book (smaller size and sturdy pages make board books especially easy to incorporate side-by-side with AAC; lots of great opportunities for verbs: work, wash, visit, sit, cook, eat, slide, jump, climb, go, run, spray, rescue, sleep; adjectives: clean, fast, tall, hungry, tired; prepositions: at, in, out, down, up, off; and additional core vocabulary for AAC users: is, ready, when)

https://www.amazon.com/Firefighter-Frank-Board-Monica-Wellington/dp/0525423737

* Mr. Cookie Baker (lots of great opportunities for verbs: make, count, measure, mix, roll, cut, bake, decorate, come, show, sell, close; adjectives: early, delicious, colored, hungry, proud, crowded; and additional core vocabulary for AAC users: get, make, for, out, with, in)

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Cookie-Baker-Monica-Wellington/dp/0525477632

* Truck Driver Tom (lots of great opportunities for verbs: drive, look, haul, work, honk, stretch, fill, cross, arrive, deliver, order, eat, meet, sleep; adjectives: big, fresh, fast, slow, bumpy, busy, crowded, hungry, tired; prepositions: off, on, in, down, over, through, around, up; and additional core vocabulary for AAC users: to, for, done)

https://www.amazon.com/Truck-Driver-Tom-Monica-Wellington/dp/0525478310

4 great FREE iOS apps to foster creativity, language and storytelling… great tools to add to your SLP Toolbox

Posted on July 21, 2016 by OMazing Kids

4 great FREE iOS apps to foster creativity, language and storytelling… great tools to add to your SLP Toolbox:

Our Story for iPad by The Open University
https://appsto.re/us/UTVOO.i
LEGO® Movie Maker by LEGO Systems, Inc
https://appsto.re/us/Z8yWE.i
TeleStory by Launchpad Toys
https://appsto.re/us/kf5J2.i
Toontastic by Launchpad Toys
https://appsto.re/us/IeYhy.i

These apps can be easily customized to incorporate high interest areas of kids with Autism and other special needs and contain in-app voice and/or video recording to encourage verbalizations (most of my patients are VERY motivated to hear themselves on the iPad).
.
All 4 of these apps were verified as being free in the USA App Store at the time of this post. But it is always wise to check app prices prior to downloading since app prices can change frequently with no notice. FYI… If you don’t have an iPad yet or don’t have one running the iOS required to download a particular app, you can download that app on iTunes on a computer and have it in your cloud to install later.
.

There are several other apps to support sentence building and sentence building with symbol support. Here are screenshots of the apps that I have. Feel free to send me a message on my OMazing Kids Facebook page if you have questions about any of those apps. Most are not free but are well worth the cost. In addition to these apps, you can also use any robust AAC app to model sentence creation. Facebook Messaging for OMazing Kids: https://www.facebook.com/messages/17426452595789.

.
If you are looking for a FREE “non-tech” way to encourage sentence building, check out this printable visual support for building sentences (need Boardmaker to open) http://fdlrsregion3literacyvisuals.wikispaces.com/Fokes+Sentence+Builder
.
I have worked with several patients who engaged in almost constant verbal scripting. It is important to understand the function of the scripting. This video is enlightening:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtbbmeyh5rk

as is the book “Life, Animated: A Story of Sidekicks, Heroes, and Autism“.
.
In several cases I have been able to build upon these patient’s high interest areas to build new language scripts through the use of visual supports and apps for sentence building and then other apps to move on to storytelling. This has often resulted in more spontaneous use of functional language.

Research Study Survey: SLPs who use iPad apps in therapy

Posted on February 2, 2016 by OMazing Kids

Speech-Language Pathologists are invited to take part in a research study survey to identify the factors that they feel are important when using iPad apps for language intervention with children.

Who is being asked to participate?

SLPs who use iPad apps in their intervention with children with language impairment.

I just completed the survey and it took about 15 minutes.

Glitter Bottle Calming App ~ currently FREE

Posted on January 6, 2016 by OMazing Kids

This glitter bottle calming app is currently FREE. I used it in a session this week along with guided relaxation to quickly help a patient calm. The child had a panic/anxiety attack in the middle of a session over the fear that they would fail state testing -> flunk -> be held back a grade…. bless their hearts…. kids experience way too much stress in schools these days.

Interested in more apps? I have two albums on Facebook:

* Album 2: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1039368119447526.1073741892.174264525957894&type=3
.
Feel free to “like” my OMazing Kids Facebook page & “join” my AppPeeps Facebook group. I post frequently about apps that are free or are a great deal and also frequently receive app promo codes from developers for giveaways.

Apps are typically only free for a few hours and codes always go quickly in giveaways so be sure to stop by my page frequently. See this post for info about how to see all the posts: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2015/12/09/tip-how-to-get-all-the-facebook-posts-from-omazing-kids-and-other-pages/.

I am not paid to do any reviews or giveaways, only post about apps that I have actually downloaded to try out and have over 25 years experience as a pediatric SLP…. the reason I say this is to assure you of my honest / unbiased thoughts on apps. When I find glitches or concerns, I contact app developers to provide suggestions for improvements. I only post about iOS apps since I don’t own any Android devices.
.
Looking forward to seeing what exciting new apps will be released in 2016!
