Best App Ever Award Banner
SpeechBox™’s award was announced at the “Best App Ever” Awards during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. SpeechBox™ was selected over several popular apps including Speak for Yourself by Speak for Yourself LLC, First Then Visual Schedule by Good Karma Applications, Inc, and Special Words by Special iApps.
“I was deeply honored to have been selected. I’m incredibly thankful of the support received from our users,” said Henry T. Kirk, the app developer and Dad behind SpeechBox™. “It is extremely encouraging and motivates me to continue my quest developing useful apps for children with special needs. ”
SpeechBox™ is a word-practice app designed to work for children with Apraxia of Speech, Autism, Down syndrome, and other speech language disorders. With its beautiful interface and over 700 engaging colorful pictures, parents, educators, speech-language pathologists, and others can use it to help children practice speaking simple words.
SpeechBox™ was conceived after becoming frustrated from the inefficiencies of other apps and the desire to help his son succeed. “While using the only apps that were available, I quickly discovered how complex some of them were. I had no idea how to get started. When I finally got through all of the menus and was ready to work, I found myself skipping most of the words because they were just not simple enough for my son to practice with. I also found him getting bored because the pictures weren’t very exciting to look at,” says Mr. Kirk.
