Blog » iPhone and iTouch applications for therapists
I have always always been a therapist on the go! Whether it's a school observation, therapy appointment, PPT or IEP meeting, phone conference...JUST ALWAYS MOVING!
My Treo died almost 6 months ago and against my fiance (now husband's) suggestion, I bought an iPhone! What encouraged me most was watching my clients with their iTouch's sitting in the waiting room developing leisure skills with technology.
Now that I have an iPhone, I will never turn back. Here are some apps that have enhanced the ease of my life as therapist.
1. Camera: I can take great photos and videos of my clients while in the session. The quick editing allowed for the use of videomodeling!
2. iTalk Lite: This allows for recording of speech samples. Although speech-language samples are long to analyze and require a great level of attention...they are great in looking at speech intelligibility ratings, language, and social language use.
3. Behavior Tracker Pro: This is great for school observations for the behaviorally based SLP and the ABA therapists. It allows you to track and record behaviors of your students.
4.ICD-9: Enough said!
5. You Tube: I can have quick access to reinforcers that include Little Bill, Cailou, and much more
6. Pandora: I created music stations based on what my clients like. Another reinforcer.
7. Flash Cards: There are many many apps for flash cards!
8. Munch Munch: For clients on a food sensitivity/eating program..this allows me to take a picture of the target and let the kids watch the character munch munch munch. Disclaimer: Therapist should follow a specific sensory program specifically created for their clients.
9. IEP Checklist: This is a great tool and FREE app for parents and teacher. So that you don't forget anything while you are in the IEP meeting!
I have many many more apps that I absolutely love! And then I have some development ideas too!!!
My goal for health was to save my back and body and reduce the bags and load as I travel. So now with my trusty HP Touch Smart laptop and my iPhone no need to carry materials! I have it all on my technology...what do I do if it fails? It's all backed up and any therapist worth her weight can make a dynamic lesson based on anything! (inside joke of the elite SLP- JK)
Enjoy and Be Empowered,
Landria M. Seals Green, M.A., CCC-SLP
