Follow on Google News | Sydspeak, Inc. Readies Release of iPad Application to help Teach Children to SpeakSydspeak, Inc. based in Winter Springs will release its Talk to Me 100® iPad application this summer to help parents, teachers and therapists help young children master language skills.
“Talk to Me 100 provides graphics, text and sound that allows children to see words, hear words, understand their meaning and experience the joy of communication by pressing buttons, Birr said. "Many children struggle with developing a large core vocabulary," Birr said the Talk to Me 100 focuses on 100 important words with corresponding graphic symbols that express the meaning of each word. A recorded voice demonstrates proper pronunciation. Recently Birr was invited to address the annual convention of the Florida Association of Speech-Language Pathologists in Marco Island, Fla. Her presentation outlined strategies and results achieved using the same 100 words in daily conversation with over 50 students nationwide during the 2010-2011 school year. “Talk to Me 100 was designed to help parents, teachers and therapists jumpstart verbal expression for children who are struggling to communicate,” Birr, who earned her M.A. Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Houston, has more than 35 years of experience as a speech and language pathologist. She developed Talk to Me 100 with her son, Andrew, who serves as vice president of Sydspeak. Sydspeak, Inc. is a member of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation program in Winter Springs. End
