In this poster, we share a validated rubric for evaluating the quality of instructional applications for communication skills, with extensions specific to phonological awareness and social skills. We also provide quality ratings for common instructional apps and offer guidance to SLPs and educators in selecting appropriate apps.

Learning Outcomes:

You will be able to:

Discuss ways to evaluate the instructional and design quality of educational apps for children with communication disorders.
Determine which qualities SLPs and educators view as most important for selecting educational apps to use with students.
