Praise for Comprehension TherAppy:

“The versatility, huge amount of content, fantastic execution and sheer quality of this app easily make it a Top Pick.  The app isn’t cheap, but given its quality, the amount of the content and the fact there are no in-app purchases, I believe it is good value at that price. …  It oozes quality. … It’s user-friendly. … Many parents, teachers and therapists have older children, teens and adults with special needs and are forced to use apps that are developed for preschoolers which therefore have lots of ‘kiddy’ features. You folks are going to LOVE this app! This app is nearly alone in providing relevant vocabulary for older children and adults.” - Smart Apps for Kids
“iSPeak App is giving Tactus Therapy Solutions not two but THREE thumbs up (!) for taking up the task of creating apps specifically designed for individuals with aphasia and brain injury… Comprehension TherAppy is a very, VERY useful app, and definitely one that we will be using with our clients on a constant basis.” - iSPeakApp.com
★★★★★ Enlightening! My 4-year-old son has autism and has made so much progress that I wanted an app that did more. Comprehension TherAppy is just what I was looking for. This is an app that will grow with my son’s abilities. – iTunes Reviewer
“Comprehension TherAppy is easy-to-use, and has the perfect balance of automation and the ability to customize. This allows you to have your patient/client use it on his or her own and not worry about it being too challenging (or not challenging enough)… Despite this being a comprehension-focused tool, the patient produced more spontaneous language while using the app than she usually did during therapy tasks. I am certain this was a direct result of the engagement, interest, and sense of empowerment she felt from being able to use Comprehension TherAppy to control her own therapy.” - TherapyApp411.com
