InnerVoice - Communication And Speech - HealthWatch Review

Published on October 16, 2014

HealthWatch Review

 

The ability to communicate is a fundamental concept that many of us take for granted.  Sadly, there are millions of people that cannot properly express themselves.  Many suffer from autism, others from ALS, and others from strokes or other afflictions.

 

If you or someone you know has trouble communicating, an app called InnerVoice is worth checking out.  It’s the recipient of the 2013 Mensa Education & Research Foundation Intellectual Benefit to Society Award, and it’s a medical grade app that was created by two speech pathologists. The app, which is fantastic for people on the Autism Spectrum, has functional and educational purposes.

 

Functionally, it allows someone with speech issues to complete tasks that require communication – for example, you select words and phrases that your preselected person on screen will say – maybe you want to order something, or you need help.  You can even change the image to be your face.  Educationally, people on the autism spectrum can learn communication skills by watching videos of themselves successfully performing activities: this is called video self-modeling.

 

InnerVoice teaches communication skills through video self-modeling, which can demonstrate how non-verbal children look and sound when they speak. It’s a fantastic app that’s available for iOS devices for a modest price of $19.99.  So to download it, head to the appstore and search “InnerVoice” or visit InnerVoiceApp.com today.
