BridgingApps just published the following BridgingApps Reviewed App on the site:
Here is a fun way for students to increase their listening skills and following directions. The interactive app was designed by speech language pathologists and a teacher, and its target age is appropriate 18 months to 4 years old. However, as a teachers of developmentally disabled high school students, this is a perfect match for the cognitive level of our students.

\”Please consider that a language delay is often the cause of what appears to be a cognitive delay, which, sadly results in the misdiagnosis of intellectual impairment/disability. I have found, in my experience, that many students with language delay or impairment do NOT have an intellectual impairment at all. That said, targeting language development is critical for a lot of children. While it may be true for a small percentage, I for one, find it deplorable that high school students would benefit from an app targeted at children less than 4 years of age. Let us hope that the new technology and work of apps do more for our kids.\”
