“This is a wonderful program! Purchased as an aid for my 84 year old aunt post stroke, who was left with an expressive aphasia. Word finding difficulty was so frustrating for her. Almost immediately she began realizing that she has cues to use if she gets ‘stuck’ on a word. She enjoys using the program so much.”★★★★★

“The app is well designed with a very clear layout and is intuitive with a library of clear pictures to choose from. There is a vast array of sound and written cues including first sound, first syllable, noise, information and sentence completion…………Overall, the app has a user-friendly interface and I would recommend”

“We found NeuroHero to be a very useful rehabiliation tool which allows the client to engage in therapy independently, which makes it ideal for repeated home practice. Clients were observed to engage well with the clear layout of the app and were motivated to use the app…………NeuroHero accommodates a wide range of interests in the various versions available which allows therapy to be tailored to clients individual interests.” (Clodagh O’Neill, Speech and Language Therapist)
Talk Around It is an app designed to help individuals with finding words or naming an object using both expressive and receptive language skills. I liked that the app was set up and ready to use the first time I launched it with my son and used a variety of outdoor objects to help him articulate what he saw. It would be great in speech therapy settings as well.

Una app interesante, mejora las habilidades para nombrar las palabras deseadas, construir redes semánticas, desarrollar habilidades de comunicación… Aplicable a Alzheimer, derrames cerebrales o afasias. Muy dinámica, creativa y fácil de utilizar.(Ricardo) http://www.blogdepsicologia.

The fact that it allows one to personalize which pictures will show via the Picture Library makes the app very customizable. The Progress Reports chart is a real boon for the busy clinician. It’s also useful for the client who wants to have a visual of his/her progress.(Carla Krishan Cuadro, Speech – Language Pathologist)
I’m happy to see a series of apps that break down topics more clearly (home, nature, person, etc.). I’m impressed with the choice of American, British, and Spanish vocabulary options too. Some of the best features are the real photographs of items and the variety of prompts, like phonological and semantic cues. One tweak I’d like to see is a better matching of singular and plural nouns between the audio and picture, so that if the audio says “blueberry” the picture does not show multiple “blueberries”. Future versions could perhaps break down the vocabulary list into high vs. low frequency words to help scaffold therapy for clients.
Overall 4 stars. It’s a pretty solid picture naming application with great built-in prompts and a variety of quality pictures. This is definitely something I would use with clients working on expressive vocabulary and word finding.

What I love about this app: It has a feature where the progress of the client is consistently monitored, as the app takes data each time the client uses it and compiles it into a beautiful graph.

This app can be used for children with mild- moderate learning disability to effectively elicit word finding
difficulties as well.
(Marie Donegan, Vice Principal, HFS, Charleville, Co.Cork, Ireland).
Visually this app looks really well. The pictures are clear and the layout of the app is understandable and user friendly. The cues available are thorough and easy to understand. It’s useful that there are both written and sound cues available. I could definitely see this being useful in therapy.
