Hi Lilly,
While there aren't many apps specifically for college students in Speech and Language Pathology, professional clinical apps and general study tools are really helpful. They give you a glimpse of the tools you'll use in your career and help you build basic knowledge.
Professional Speech Therapy Apps:
1. Comprehensive Therapy Suites:
- Example: Articulation Station Pro, Tactus Therapy apps
- Benefit: Learn how therapy is structured for disorders like apraxia or aphasia.
2. Specialized Disorder Apps:
- Example: Stamurai (stuttering), Speech Blubs (early intervention)
- Benefit: Understand therapy tailored for specific groups like children or adults.
3. Language and AAC Tools:
- Example: CoughDrop (AAC), Word Vault (language stimuli)
- Benefit: Learn about Augmentative and Alternative Communication and language materials.
4. Interactive and Play-Based:
- Example: Toca Boca apps, ChatterPix Kids
- Benefit: See how play is used in therapy to practice skills.
Access and Evaluation: Many apps have free versions. Look for evidence-based apps developed with SLPs. Tactus Therapy offers a free list of over 170 apps for adults, which is a great start.
Essential Study and Organizational Tools:
- Note-Taking & Annotation: Notability is great for marking up lecture slides and clinical materials.
- Flashcard Apps: Anki or Quizlet can help you learn anatomy and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
- Academic References & E-Books: Use your university's library app or services like Scribd for textbooks and articles.
- Task & Time Management: Apps like Notion or Trello can help manage coursework and plan for graduate school.
Making the Most of Your Undergraduate Journey:
- Join NSSLHA: This network offers mentorship, conference opportunities, and professional insights.
- Plan for Graduate School Early: Maintain a strong GPA (ideally above 3.3) and complete required courses in sciences and statistics.
- Gain Early Exposure: Look for clinical observation opportunities and volunteer work. Your program may offer a capstone with clinic observation.
I hope this helps you with the tools and steps you need. Let me know if you've started your undergraduate program so I can give more specific advice.
