Go-Togethers
Go-Togethers is an application developed to improve language comprehension and expression in individuals of all age groups. The ability to identify and generate words that “go together” in semantic associations is a critical language skill that relates to vocabulary and word retrieval. Go-Togethers provides SLPs, parents and others with a tool to develop categorization, association, and naming skills by interacting with pictures and audio. Go-Togethers is designed specifically to use the touchscreen features of the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone to mirror linguistic connections. For example, a touch “sweep” on screen is used to respond and map associations between words. A “tap-to-tally” feature, likewise, is used as a visual and kinesthetic means to reinforce naming of associated items and explanations of how items “go together.”
