Is an app appropriate for this? Have you looked into speech therapists? It sounds like you need a professional who is trained for this sort of thing. Not everything can be handed off to an app.

Oh, yes, he has therapy - but therapist can't do everything either - a lot of reinforcement has to happen at home. Also, is been known that using apps like this (in addition to the therapy) can make a difference in when they learn to talk. It also gives them a voice while speaking is under development, and that in turn presents a lot more interaction and learning. The app would be just one of the tools in use though.

No app, parents and caregivers have to become the therapist. Depends on your child's age but these are the resources we used:

> The closest app is $200 just to show him flashcards and says an audio clip
Could you please provide the app(s)? We use this one every now and then:

Hi @somenewaccount1, would love to know, what are your expectations from a better app?

Primarily just want the same app, but cheaper, and cross platform. A ui designed by a professional ux person would be nice too.
