Speech Therapy Apps Are the
Best Invention Since...Well
The iPad
Speech therapy Apps...what CAN'T they do?
Want
to Develop
Your Own App(s)?

for More Info. |
They CAN'T...
- diagnose a disorder
- treat your clients or patients for you
- or cure speech and language disorders
...but let's be honest,
they can pretty much do everything else :)
I might even go so far to say they're God's gift to Speech Language
Pathologists.
To date I've seen Apps for:
- articulation
- expressive language
- stuttering
- dysphagia
- social language
- SLP organization and data tracking
- of course calculating chronological age (our
personal fav, because we made it)

Future
SLP App.
Will it be Yours? |
We have a few more App ideas in our heads for the future, but
if you have ever created something on the computer...
...you know how much time
it can take to get it just right.
So we thought to ourselves, "If we have App ideas, I bet other SLPs
have them too." Sadly, not all of us are App Developers, but, we
have a close friend who is.
We have talked to our friend the App Developer (we'll call him J.B.)
and he wants to help us develop more Apps at no cost, he just wants
part of the profit that is generated from the App sales (for his time
and effort).
So here's the deal. If you have the best speech therapy App idea in the
world...
...we want to talk to you.
We will help
- publish your App idea
- get your App in the Apple App Store
- sell your App on our site (thus the boxes above that say
"Future SLP App.")
For every App of yours we sell...
If you are curious about how much work it will take to develop an App,
we have set all of that up for you.
Below you will find a checklist we have compiled for you that tells you
what is needed in your Quest to develop your App along with some
storyboard examples that will guide you in developing the function of your
App.
Download and read in the order you see here...

App
Requirement Checklist

with us.

As you can see from the App checklist, you will
develop and have all the information needed to develop your App.
This is one way you can protect your App Idea (even though you can
trust us).
We are currently looking for SLPs who have original App ideas.
If you
have an App idea that already exists in the App Store, we may not be
that interested unless it has a very unique spin or advantage(s) to it.
Keep in mind...we don't want you to submit your App Idea to us.
Complete the
App
Requirement Checklist above, then come back to this
page,
submit the form below,
and we'll contact you to discuss it.
We want SLPs who...
- are interested in developing an App or Apps and complete
the checklist
- have a completed App product ready to develop
- want to publish their App, sell it, and make some dough
Keep in mind that you will need to have the information on the App
Requirement Checklist to develop an App with any company.
If you use our checklist and choose to develop with another
company, don't worry, we still love you. Consider it a "Good Luck"
freebie.
If you want to talk with
us
please...
- Complete the App
Requirement Checklist above.
- Submit the form below
the FAQ section.
If you still have questions please review the FAQ section.
FAQ
How do I submit an App
product or idea?
- You won't be submitting any ideas to us just yet, complete
the App Requirement Checklist and then complete
the form below. We will contact you to talk about your App
idea, and determine if it is
a good fit.
After the App is
published who owns it?
- You (and anyone else who is involved) will be the authors
of the idea, and all of the information you provide, however, the
coding and any additional design will remain property of Home
Speech Home.
If at any time you wish to terminate our contract, we will return to
you all of the materials you provide us with, but we will still be able
to sell the App(s) in their respective App stores for a period of 1
year.
Am I considered an
"Author" or "Publisher"?
- Similar to a Book Publisher, you are the "Author" (creator)
of the App and Home Speech Home is the "Publisher" (coders and
distributors).
Do I need an Android
Market or Apple Apps Developer account?
- No, we will take care of that (because we already have one).
What do I need to publish
an App?
- We can talk about this with you in more detail, but in
general you need:
- your idea
- sketches or screenshots of how the app will look and
function
- images (if you have them)
- ideas for keywords (we can talk about this)
- a description of what your app does (for the App
Store)
- See the App
Requirement Checklist above
When will I get paid?
- Authors will be paid 4x per year. Generally, authors
receive 10 - 15% of all sales for their App.
Can I sell my idea to
other companies?
- Absolutely, you may contact other companies about
publishing your app but once you sign a contract with Home Speech Home
we hold the rights to your product until termination of the contract.
If you choose to publish your product through traditional publishing
(books, board games, etc) we may evaluate the situation. We will work
with you as best we can. We have no desire to get into any legal
issues.
How do I protect my app
product or idea?
- By completing the App Requirement Checklist the App Idea
information remains yours until you decide to develop it with us, at
which time we will sign a contract and ask you to send us your
checklist and storyboard.
- If we are already working on a similar idea or product, or
(for some reason) we determine that your idea or product is not
"do-able" we will promptly return your materials to you.
*Note: We will never use any of your materials without your permission
and a signed contract. If we proceed and publish your product, we will
continue to the contract stage and, you will be protected under the
agreement that is established in the contract.
