About Category Therapy

Improve mental organization skills. Practice categories in a versatile speech therapy app.

When you struggle with categories due to stroke, brain injury, or autism, simple tasks can be impossible. But there’s a way to heal the broken networks of meaning.

GET CATEGORY THERAPY, an app designed for both speech therapists and home users to help restructure the brain and let the ideas flow.

- Take control with evidence-based exercises designed by experts
- Improve word-finding and sorting skills with 4 engaging activities and unlimited practice
- Get an app that works in both home and clinical settings
- Interact with clear photos and a simple interface that's easy for everyone to use
- Adjust settings to target your goals and suit your needs
- Use reports and customization to seamlessly fit the app into your therapy program

** Download Category Therapy Lite for FREE to see how it can help! **

When you lose the ability to group items and identify what they have in common, it gets in the way of your ability to understand, learn, and communicate. But with the right kind of practice, it’s possible to strengthen the connections between words and concepts and navigate your world more easily.

“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.”
- Aubrey Klingensmith, MS, CCC-SLP, Speechie Apps

GET THE RIGHT ACTIVITY - FOR EVERY BRAIN.

No two people are the same. With 4 activities ranging from simple to complex, there's something in Category Therapy to match your needs. Work through them gradually or focus on the activity that best suits your needs.

1) FIND: Start with the basics. You'll hear and see a photo of a category (let's say "Fruit"). Tap the item that matches (for example, a banana).

2) CLASSIFY: Switch it up. Now you start with an item and choose the category that matches. This tests your ability to apply categories to what you see.

3) ADD ONE: Train yourself to recognize common features of items – to categorize them – and then choose one item that fits the category you’ve identified.

4) EXCLUDE: Challenge yourself. By choosing an item that doesn't belong, you learn how to independently identify categories. As things get harder, you can always tap Hint for some help.



ALL DONE? Share your progress. The app makes it easy to quickly view, share, or e-mail detailed reports to a therapist or loved one.

GET EVERY FEATURE YOU NEED IN ONE EASY APP.

• 70 categories and nearly 700 words in one package
• 3 difficulty levels ranging from simple objects to more abstract concepts
• Great for aphasia, brain injury, autism, and other cognitive & language impairments
• Switch to Pictures Only to practice naming or Words Only to practice reading
• Customize the number of trials, choices, and more – it’s yours to control
• Designed with adults in mind but easy enough for children to use
• No subscriptions, no monthly bills, no Wi-Fi needed

THERE’S HOPE. With Category Therapy in your corner, you can build stronger connections between words – and learn to speak and think more easily.

Feedback from users like you helped to make the latest improvements!

VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF EXCLUDE
Choosing the correct item during the Exclude exercises now triggers movement of the images to group the similar items together and segregate the one that doesn’t belong. This action stimulates further comprehension of categories plus offers an opportunity to discuss the groupings.

MORE CHALLENGING MEDIUM LEVEL
The difficulty of the medium/subcategory setting level has been increased by providing more choices from the same basic category. This encourages deeper understanding of the subcategory and makes for a more natural progression in difficulty between the easy and hard levels.

EVEN GREATER CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
Now you can choose to turn off auto-advance between tasks. While auto-advance may be preferred for independent practice to keep therapy moving, the manual advancement provides an opportunity to add value to the exercise and increase engagement and discussion between the user and the therapist or caregiver.

Thank you for using Category Therapy. We hope you enjoy this free update. Please share your feedback with us. We value your opinion.
