Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.25,0:00:18.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is very very exciting. It's a very motivating tool

Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.63,0:00:35.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that being said there are some points i would like to make
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.23,0:00:37.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, apps
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.89,0:00:41.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are not replacement for speech therapy
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.39,0:00:42.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.99,0:00:44.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the s{\u1}l{\u0} p
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.46,0:00:46.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that's very very important point to make because
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.89,0:00:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we have this world of apps- all these tools and resources at our
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.34,0:00:52.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fingertips
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.84,0:00:54.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it becomes very easy to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.58,0:01:00.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rationalize how much we can now do therapy at home.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.16,0:01:04.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for whatever reasons that maybe he whether it be financial reasons; not
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.24,0:01:09.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,having to go to therapy has as much uh... or the convenience of its some
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.33,0:01:11.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some families
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.08,0:01:15.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are driving a half-an-hour to even an hour to even get to therapy
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.33,0:01:17.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... or just the frequency of it. Going to therapy three to four times
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.98,0:01:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a week
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.74,0:01:23.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can be inconvenience to the idea of having these apps and devices
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.36,0:01:26.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for home use is very alluring.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.16,0:01:28.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.31,0:01:32.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,considering cutting out the s{\u1}l{\u0} p or reducing the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.76,0:01:38.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,therapy sessions with an slp but I really urge you that that is is not
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.86,0:01:42.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... what we'd want as as SLPs and as a developer my self, it's not the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.51,0:01:44.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,intent.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.46,0:01:47.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,um... these tools are are just tools
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.79,0:01:50.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and are not meant to replace the SLP
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.76,0:01:54.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even cut back on on therapy and really has to supplement whatever you're
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.58,0:01:57.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,currently doing & to provide you with some resources
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.91,0:02:00.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work with your child at home
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.29,0:02:02.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but by no means are they designed to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.81,0:02:06.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... reduce therapy or or replace the s{\u1}l{\u0} p
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.53,0:02:10.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so the next point that i would like to make - kind of along that line
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.28,0:02:13.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the idea that these apps and devices
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.89,0:02:15.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.71,0:02:19.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really cautioning you that that they are not to become the instructor
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.08,0:02:20.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.34,0:02:23.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very very important point is that
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.19,0:02:27.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these are wonderful tools and they're very very educational and motivating
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.73,0:02:34.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but don't rely on that app or the device to instruct your child
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.04,0:02:38.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and at making an and hoping that they're going to make substantial progress
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.89,0:02:40.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without that s{\u1}l{\u0} p
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.79,0:02:42.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then the last point that i would like to make
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.99,0:02:47.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that um... but very important is is because of these apps and the devices
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.88,0:02:50.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are so fun and motivating
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.03,0:02:51.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kids do want to get their hands on them
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.99,0:02:57.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it's very very tempting and for us to think, oh Wow, they love the iPad
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.68,0:03:00.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're requesting it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.22,0:03:03.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What you don't want to do is just hand the iPad over to the child
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.61,0:03:08.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and have them go to their speech work or have them play uh... indeed
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.68,0:03:12.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's a really important point to make because the two in a child's mind
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.46,0:03:15.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it does seem like a game it does seem like they are playing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.18,0:03:22.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but keep in mind that these apps that are developed as speech therapy tools
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.49,0:03:26.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are not to be self directed by the child.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.01,0:03:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you really need to be sitting down with your child, working with your child and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.68,0:03:29.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,giving them feedback and support and not expecting them to just sit on the couch while
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.36,0:03:39.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're making dinner or washing the dishes, to do their speech homework
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.66,0:03:45.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Kind of along that line to is we
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.83,0:03:48.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are very
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.41,0:03:50.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,encouraged by the device when we see that the child is having fun.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.89,0:03:53.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... another point that i'd like to make is that these apps are not
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.03,0:03:56.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,necessarily meant to entertain your child
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.28,0:03:59.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... it's again not a game or toy but a tool
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.34,0:04:02.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we do want to get
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.19,0:04:05.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the most out of our our apps, specifically the ones that are designed
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.39,0:04:07.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help in speech therapy
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.71,0:04:10.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but again it is very tempting to want to download
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.83,0:04:13.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... apps are are just
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.39,0:04:16.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fun an entertaining to the child
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.09,0:04:20.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so with speech therapy that's not always the case so really to make sure that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.66,0:04:24.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that parent is sitting there with them. perhaps using some other apps that are
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.53,0:04:27.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fun and rewarding
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.18,0:04:31.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... in between as a little reward or a little break is a great idea but
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.51,0:04:35.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh... just really kinda searching for apps that are just
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.38,0:04:38.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fun and ... game like
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.68,0:04:43.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that uh... that is of word of caution too. So those are some best practices that I
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.69,0:04:45.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,encourage you to implement
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.74,0:04:48.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you're working with your child
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.76,0:04:51.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and uh... and having
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.93,0:04:54.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this whole world of apps at your fingertips
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.18,0:04:56.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to be able to really make some sound choices
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.34,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much and I wish you all the best.
