Language Adventures Pro 4.0

Language Adventures, now updated with additional content targeting categories, inferences, and wh-questions, presents a fresh approach to traditional speech and language game boards. This innovative app by Nichole Hanneken Ontis, M.S., CCC-SLP and Danielle Sears, M.S., CCC-SLP combines engaging gameplay and colorful graphics in a contextual language intervention experience for iPad users.

The app offers revamped game play elements such as player selection, dice rolling, and token moving tailored for iPad users. Featuring three levels of difficulty suitable for elementary through high school-aged students, each level incorporates school-based themes and vocabulary contexts. Players can save their progress and targets for future sessions, ensuring continued improvement over time.
