Your child will simply touch on the word or image, and the image will enlarge with a voice narration from one of the world’s leading auditory verbal therapists, Nancy Caleffe-Schenck, M.Ed., CCC-A, LSLS Cert. AVT. Also, the HOPE Words LITE app features parent and professional tips on how to use the app to improve listening and spoken language with children.
