Describe with Art is the latest app developed by the Virtual Speech Center, Inc. The app features art and descriptions.
Get started by selecting START and adding your students. 
Then select the tasks for your students. The choice of activities includes ‘describe it’, an expressive task, or ‘following directions’ the receptive task.
For the Describe It task, a picture is shown. Have your student describe what they see (I see pear. A pear is a green fruit.) Then let your students use the 5 prompts below to help them come up with more descriptors. The five question prompts for food include:
What is it?
What kind of food is it?
When do we eat this food?
Describe its appearance (size, color, or shape).
What is the flavor of this food?
The app collects data and lets you record student responses as well.
For the following directions activity, the student is given a direction. Ie: Show me the object that is found in an office, is made of rubber, and erases. Or Show me the zoo animal with a long trunk and big ears. The student’s data is collected throughout.
Data results can be found in the app, sorted, and emailed.
Like the other VSC apps, the premise of the app, is that the student completes a certain about of tasks before ‘earning’ the reward. Describe with art features the above paint sheet for free drawing. Cons: The ‘drawing’ is a bit underwhelming. I would love if it the app perhaps gave the student a simple line drawing to try to copy or was more like a coloring page.
Pros: I love that the app has both receptive and expressive. The app incorporates a lot of language I use regularly in my caseload. Describe with Art can be found in the itunes store for $9.99 at the time of publication.

Woops! I fixed it!
I don’t have that many apps yet, but I am enjoying Category TherAppy for divergent and convergent categorization.
I’ve found that the kiddos love the Toca Boca apps.
I dont have many apps yet. I am only able to use free apps. Just getting started with this.
A describing app would be awesome for my students that work on attributes and associations!
What a fantastic app! I’d love to use it.
Mobile Education Store apps, such as Rainbow Sentences & Language Builder
I use some of the SuperDuper apps for expressive language.
Right now I’m really just relying on Proloquo2go. I love reading about these different apps that are available that can be used to target language. Proloquo2go is more of an AAC app and I really just need some therapy tools. 🙂
Would love to win this to use with our patients at the JD McCarty Center!
Oh so many…language adventures, category therappy, toca boca apps…
I have really been using my apps this week! Would love a free one dwadley98@ yahoo.com
I really like all the Hamaguchi apps.
Rainbow sentences
I love Tense Builder and Language Builder!
So many great ones…I like the Mobile Education Store apps as well as Language Adventures.
What a great app to add to therapy!
Tough to choose just one, but I like Language Empires.
Toontastic has been a hit and I’ve gotten a lot of expressive language out of it so far!
Language Adventures
Looks like a great app to supplement the EET!
Fun and Functional

I’ve been using the Toca Boca apps for expressive and receptive language. They’re really fun! This app looks great – nice visuals for listing attributes!
I would love to win…I use EET all the time!
smarty ears apps!
One favorite is TenseBuilder.
Toca Kitchen is one of my student’s favorite apps to work on expression, it is also a great reinforcement tool to keep them motivated. I am totally geeked about this new app. I love art and EET, sounds like the perfect match for me!
Looks amazing!
I just got an iPad mini yesterday, so I haven’t tried any speech/language apps yet.
Pogg. Keeps kids talking! Describing action, compare/contrast, What would Pogg say?, giving directions, endless!
I like Language Adventures by Smarty Ears!
I have Language Adventures by Smarty Ears and love it!
I am in need of a good expressive/receptive language app. I have the toco boco apps but would like something like this in addition.

I love “Farmyard Create a scene” by Innivo!
So far my kids love the TOCA BOCA apps
I love “Play Home Lite” for the pre-K crowd. Basically an interactive dollhouse that is open-ended enough to target a TON of language. It’s awesome and free!
I am a Speech Pathology and I come to your site all the time for ideas!! Thanks for the help!
I really like MyPlayhouse. It is very interactive and I can target receptive or expressive language goals.
Good Luck
