A research-based communication skills building program.

Talking Nouns and Verbs are research-based software programs that give students with language impairments the opportunity to communicate. Students select a word, phrase, or picture to make the computer speak.

These programs offer a variety of activities that reinforce vocabulary comprehension, teach the formation of grammatically correct sentences, improve visual discrimination, and develop conversational turn-taking. They also offer an economical way to teach the skills needed to use a dedicated augmentative communication device. Grades pre-K and up.

Interactive Communication: Single Touch Activation – Computer says each word as it’s selected.
Interactive Communication: Sequenced Activation – Computer speaks only after phrase or sentence has been constructed, so every spoken phrase or sentence is grammatically correct.
