As an interactive app designed to build expressive language for everyone, LinguaPix is not only engaging but was also developed with research in mind. The American Speech Language and Hearing Association highly advocates for practicing Speech-Language Pathologists to use evidence-based practices which include integration of clinical expertise, the perspective of the client and family, as well as external scientific evidence (ASHA, 2005). Thus, we wanted to highlight how the skills practiced using the LinguaPix app aligns to research. Considerations for Design A study by Gilliam, Gillam, and Reece (2012) indicated that both contextualized and decontextualized intervention yielded significant statistically gains (e.g., children improved the skills on post-testing), yet, contextualized [...]

We had a wonderful time in Chicago at the 2013 ASHA Convention, where we met amazing speech-language pathologists and audiologists who visited our booth.

We have been working hard for the last several months on an expressive language app we're calling LinguaPix. We are currently in the final testing phase in preparation of submitting the app to the iOS App Store. To learn more about LinguaPix, check out the updated website page, which has information and screenshots to get you up-to-speed on our exciting new app!

Since our apps are geared toward children, we believe it is important to be concerned with the privacy of children. That is why our apps are sensitive to the online safety of children. Additionally, we have put in the time and effort to create a privacy policy for our products. The privacy policy is linked from our apps on the iOS App Store, and it can be found at our website on the privacy policy page.

Shortly after iOS 7 was updated, ArtikPix 2.51 was updated for compatibility. There have been users who emailed support in regard to the audio recording feature no longer working. If that is the case for you, please check the first FAQ on our support page to learn how to enable the microphone. Note that Artikpix 2.51 includes other features added recently such as video recording as well as the Create module for creating and sharing custom decks. Now you are able to access the features with improved compatibility to iOS 7.
