Category Therapy Lite 2.06

Enhance your mental organization skills with the versatile Category Therapy app. Whether you're recovering from a stroke, brain injury, or have autism, this app provides a solution to strengthen your ability to categorize and understand information.

Category Therapy is designed for both speech therapists and home users, offering evidence-based exercises created by experts. With four engaging activities and unlimited practice, you can improve word-finding and sorting skills. This app is suitable for use in both home and clinical settings.

Featuring clear photos and a simple interface, Category Therapy is user-friendly for individuals of all ages and abilities. You can customize the settings to target your specific goals and needs, seamlessly incorporating the app into your therapy program with the help of reports and customization options.

When you lose the capacity to group items and identify common characteristics, it becomes challenging to understand, learn, and communicate effectively. However, with consistent practice using Category Therapy, you can strengthen the connections between words and concepts, enabling you to navigate the world more easily.

According to Aubrey Klingensmith, MS, CCC-SLP from Speechie Apps, "It will be a long time before you run out of content to use with one patient, and the app’s fantastic settings options will allow you to use it with a variety of individuals, regardless of cognitive abilities."

Category Therapy offers four activities designed to match diverse needs. The activities range from simple to complex, allowing users to gradually progress or focus on a specific activity that suits their requirements.

1. FIND: Begin with the basics. You will hear and see a photo of a category (e.g., "Fruit") and select the item that matches (e.g., a banana).
2. CLASSIFY: Switch things up. Start with an item and choose the corresponding category. This activity assesses your ability to apply categories to visual stimuli.
3. ADD ONE: Train yourself to recognize shared features among items, categorizing them, and then selecting an item that fits the identified category.
4. EXCLUDE: Challenge yourself by choosing an item that doesn't belong, enhancing your independent ability to identify categories. If needed, a helpful hint option is available as the difficulty increases.

Upon completion, Category Therapy allows you to easily view, share, or email detailed progress reports to your therapist or loved ones.

The full version of Category Therapy includes 70 categories and nearly 700 words, catering to various difficulty levels from simple objects to more abstract concepts. It is beneficial for aphasia, brain injury, autism, and other cognitive and language impairments. You can switch to the "Pictures Only" mode for naming practice or the "Words Only" mode for reading exercises. The full version offers customization options for the number of trials, choices, and more. Furthermore, while designed with adults in mind, it remains accessible for children as well. The app requires no subscriptions, has no monthly bills, and no Wi-Fi connection is necessary.

With Category Therapy as your companion, you can build stronger connections between words and enhance your ability to speak and think more fluidly.

What distinguishes the Lite version from the full version of Category Therapy?

• The full version contains around 700 words in 70 categories, while the Lite version only includes 21 target words and 15 categories.
• The full version grants you complete control over the settings, whereas the Lite version limits the number of choices and trials.
• The full version provides ample variety for practice and improvement, whereas the Lite version serves as a sample and is not intended for long-term usage as the exercises it contains can be easily mastered.
