ConversationBuilder is a must-have application for every speech language pathologist. This app prompts students through each stage of an interactive conversation and records their spoken responses. At the end of each session, the entire conversation is played back at a natural pace so that students can hear themselves successfully exchanging comments with their virtual peers. Recorded conversations can be stored and even emailed to teachers and parents.
ConversationBuilder is designed to help children learn how to have multi-exchange conversations with their peers in a variety of social settings. The auditory pattern of conversation is presented in a visual format to help students recognize and master the flow of conversation. Students will learn when it is appropriate to introduce themselves, ask questions, make observations and change the subject of the conversation.
