Talk Tales: Simple Words

Designed by a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 20 years of experience, this Talk Tales app, includes an interactive animated story (The Baby Bobby Book) created to help toddlers and children begin to imitate simple words. While this app will benefit all toddlers and children learning to say first words, it was designed based on motor learning theory to specifically to help children with childhood apraxia or an autism spectrum disorder.
