My app is an educational app intended for speech therapy. This app is a digital resource for both therapists and parents that focuses on the foundational skills of speaking and writing. The first exercise is the Oral Motor Mamas, which are illustrations that strengthens oral motor muscles. Students will imitate the cartoon’s face, moving their lips and tongue accordingly. These exercises are perfect for a student who has apraxia, autism, or speech delays. The second part of the app is a drawing exercise that displays outlines of the alphabet. Students will recite their ABCs and develop their fine motor skills.

I enjoyed building the app. At the start of the project, I was unsure of how I would deliver the resources effectively. I drew inspiration and knowledge from the President’s Quiz and Paint Pot assignments. I had trouble with the ABC exercises because of the Next Button. Debugging this issue and testing my app allowed me to troubleshoot and learn more about the MIT App Inventor.
